Probiotic fermentation equipment is mainly used to produce food or feed containing active probiotics. This type of equipment covers the entire process from raw material pretreatment, fermentation, post-processing to packaging.

Here is an overview of information about probiotic fermentation equipment:

1. Probiotic fermentation feed processing equipment: This type of equipment is specifically designed for the production of animal feed, which can improve the digestion and absorption rate and palatability of feed. The manufacturer provides a complete set of probiotic fermentation feed processing equipment, including crushing, mixing, fermentation and other links, to ensure the efficiency and hygiene of the feed processing process.

2. Lactic acid bacteria fermentation equipment: In the dairy industry, such as the production of yogurt and lactic acid bacteria beverages, specific fermentation equipment is required. These devices can control temperature, stirring speed, and fermentation time to ensure the normal growth and metabolism of lactic acid bacteria. For example, some suppliers provide customized milk lactic acid bacteria beverage production line equipment, suitable for producing yogurt and lactic acid bacteria beverages, with functions such as homogenization, sterilization, and fermentation.

Alkali tank
In the biological fermentation process, alkali tanks (also commonly known as alkali tanks) are mainly used to store and supply alkaline solution, usually sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution, used to regulate the pH value of the fermentation broth. Because during the fermentation process, the metabolic activity of microorganisms may produce acidic substances, leading to a decrease in the pH of the fermentation broth. In order to maintain the optimal pH environment for fermentation, it is necessary to add alkaline solution in a timely manner for neutralization.

The design of the alkali tank needs to consider the following aspects:
1. Corrosion resistance: Due to the storage of strong alkaline solutions, the alkali tank needs to be made of corrosion-resistant materials, such as stainless steel 304 or 316L, to prevent corrosion of the tank body.
2. Sterilization ability: The fermentation process requires strict aseptic conditions, and the alkali tank and its associated pipelines need to be sterilized before use to eliminate possible impurities. Steam sterilization is usually used to ensure the sterility of the system.
3. Temperature control: Although not strictly controlled like seed tanks or fermentation main tanks, alkali tanks may also require certain temperature control measures to maintain the stability of the alkali solution, especially in cold environments to prevent freezing.
4. Measurement and transportation: Alkali tanks are usually equipped with precise metering pumps to automatically or manually add an appropriate amount of alkali solution to the fermentation tank based on the pH monitoring results during the fermentation process, maintaining the pH within the set range.
5. Safety measures: Considering the corrosiveness of alkaline solution and the safety of operators, necessary safety facilities should be installed around the alkali tank, such as guardrails, emergency showers, and eye wash stations.
6. Monitoring and Automation: Modern fermentation factories tend to adopt automated control systems, and alkali tanks are no exception. Sensors are used to monitor the alkali liquid level and temperature, and integrated with pH control systems to achieve automatic adjustment. In summary, the alkali tank plays a crucial role in regulating the pH value of the fermentation broth in the biological fermentation process, ensuring efficient and stable fermentation.

3. Feeding control system: In some high-end fermentation equipment, a complete feeding system is equipped, which can add acids, alkalis, defoamers, etc. in a timely and quantitative manner to ensure nutrient supply during the fermentation process and maintain the stability of fermentation conditions.

4. Sterilization and stirring technology: Fermentation tanks are usually equipped with an efficient sterilization system that can thoroughly sterilize the container before fermentation, while also having stirring function to maintain uniform distribution of bacteria and oxygen transmission in the fermentation broth. Some devices can still continuously stir during the sterilization process to improve sterilization efficiency.

5. Freeze drying equipment: For the production of probiotic freeze-dried powder, a strain freeze-drying machine is required, which is an important technology to maintain the activity of probiotics. The freeze-drying process can effectively remove moisture, extend the shelf life of probiotic products, and maintain bacterial vitality. These devices are designed with food safety standards in mind, using food grade materials to ensure the safety and reliability of the probiotic products produced.

Production demands of different scales may require equipment of different specifications and configurations, so many manufacturers on the market provide customized solutions to meet the specific needs of customers.
