FOOD INDUSTRY

For food processing equipment, the cleaning blades are very important to the roller of cylindrical food processing equipment in many aspects, mainly reflected in the following aspects:

(1) Ensure product quality

- Precise thickness control: In food processing, such as grain rolling forming, the material needs to be rolled into a sheet or other shape of a specific thickness. The scraper can scrape the material on the roller to the set thickness, ensuring that the product thickness is uniform and consistent, meeting the quality standards, and avoiding problems such as taste differences or increased processing difficulty caused by uneven thickness.

- Ensure material integrity: The scraper can scrape the processed food material on the roller completely to avoid material residue or damage on the roller. For example, when producing infant rice noodles, the rice noodle flakes can maintain a complete shape and structure, which is conducive to subsequent crushing, packaging and other processes, ensuring the appearance and quality of the product.

- Prevent material from sticking and deteriorating: If the material adheres to the roller for a long time, it may deteriorate due to excessive heat, oxidation or contamination. The scraper scrapes the material off in time to prevent the material from sticking to the roller surface and deteriorating, thereby ensuring the safety and taste of the food.

(2) Improve production efficiency

- Continuous production guarantee: The scraper can continuously scrape the material on the roller, so that the roller can quickly carry out the next round of material processing, ensure the continuity of the production process, reduce the downtime caused by cleaning the roller or waiting for the material to fall off naturally, and improve the production efficiency of the equipment.

- Avoid material accumulation: Without a scraper, the material will continue to accumulate on the roller, which will not only affect the rotation of the roller, but also cause material overflow, pollute the equipment and working environment, and require a lot of time for cleaning and maintenance. The scraper can effectively avoid this situation and enable production to proceed smoothly.

(3) Protect the roller

- Reduce material wear: The adhesion and friction of the material on the roller surface will cause wear to the roller, especially some materials with a certain hardness or viscosity. The scraper scrapes the material off in time, which can reduce the contact and friction between the material and the roller, reduce the degree of roller wear, extend the service life of the roller, and reduce the cost of equipment maintenance and replacement.

- Prevent corrosion: Some food materials may contain acidic, alkaline or other corrosive components. If they adhere to the roller for a long time, they will corrode the anti-corrosion coating or metal material on the roller surface. The scraper cleans the material in time to reduce the contact time between the material and the roller, thereby reducing the risk of corrosion and protecting the performance and structural integrity of the roller.

(4) Maintain stable equipment performance

- Maintain thermal conductivity: In some cylindrical food processing equipment that requires heating, such as roller dryers, the roller needs to dry the material through heat conduction. The accumulation of materials on the roller will affect the thermal conductivity and reduce the heat transfer efficiency of the equipment. The scraper scrapes the material off to keep the roller surface clean, ensure uniform heat transfer, and maintain the stable performance and processing effect of the equipment.

- Ensure smooth rotation: Material accumulation will increase the resistance of the roller rotation, which may cause an increase in the motor load, unstable equipment operation, or even failure. The scraper cleans the material to make the roller rotate more smoothly, reduce vibration and noise during the operation of the equipment, and ensure the normal operation of the equipment.
