The fermentation tank, as a specialized device for industrial microbial fermentation, is primarily made of stainless steel and is cylindrical in shape, with volumes ranging from 1 cubic meter to several hundred cubic meters. With a series of outstanding advantages, it occupies an irreplaceable position in industries such as bioengineering, dairy products, beverages, pharmaceuticals, and fine chemicals. Below, we will deeply analyze the five significant advantages of fermentation tanks in microbial traditional Chinese medicine fermentation equipment.
1. Multi-dimensional Mixing, Empowering Efficient Reactions:
During the operation of the bioreactor, the uniform mixing of gas, liquid, and solid phases, as well as the good dispersion of solution components, are crucial for the growth of anaerobic and aerobic microbial cells and product synthesis. The fermentation tank, through clever design, ensures that the reaction solution is fully and evenly distributed within the tank. In the fermentation production of microbial traditional Chinese medicine, this characteristic allows for sufficient contact between microorganisms and nutrients, greatly enhancing the extraction rate and quality of effective components from traditional Chinese medicine.
2. High Efficiency Oxygen Dissolution, Balancing Energy Saving and Consumption Reduction:
The fermentation tank has a high gas content and a large gas-liquid contact interface, which gives it excellent mass transfer rates and oxygen dissolution efficiency, accurately meeting the oxygen requirements of microorganisms. At the same time, the device has lower oxygen consumption. In the fermentation process of dairy products such as yogurt, the fermentation tank can provide sufficient oxygen for lactic acid bacteria, facilitating smooth fermentation while significantly reducing energy consumption, helping enterprises effectively control production costs.
3. Gentle Operation, Protecting Biological Cells:
Traditional stirring fermentation equipment, with its mechanical stirring impeller operating at high speeds, can cause significant shear damage to biological cells. The fermentation tank eliminates the design of mechanical stirring impellers, fundamentally reducing damage to cells. This characteristic makes it particularly effective in the fields of plant cell and tissue culture, providing strong support for biological research and industrial development.
4. Strong Heat Transfer, Precise Temperature Control:
Microorganisms generate a large amount of heat during fermentation, and if not removed in a timely manner, it can severely affect the fermentation process. The fermentation tank has a high liquid circulation rate, and by installing heat exchangers on the external circulation pipeline, it can quickly and effectively remove fermentation heat, achieving precise control of fermentation temperature. In the brewing process of beer, this advantage ensures that yeast ferments at an appropriate temperature, resulting in the production of high-quality beer.
5. Simplified Structure, Convenient Maintenance Operations:
The structure design of the fermentation tank is simple and clear, which not only reduces the manufacturing difficulty and cost of the equipment but also significantly decreases energy consumption during operation. The simple structure makes the equipment easier to operate and maintain, greatly reducing the usage costs and improving the operational efficiency and stability of the equipment.
With these significant advantages, fermentation tanks have become an important force driving the development of modern industry. As technology continues to advance, fermentation tank technology is also continuously innovating and upgrading, and in the future, it is expected to play a greater role in more fields, creating more value for the development of human society.
