Abstract

The invention provides the horizontal yeast-killing devices (1), a new horizontal traced yeast-killing device (1) for fresh palm fruit and the yeast-killing process. Horizontal yeast-killing devices are yeast-killing tanks which are horizontal cuboids or cylinders, there are a feed inlet (101) on the upper end face of the horizontal yeast-killing device (1) and a feed outlet (102) on the lower end face of the horizontal yeast-killing device (1). There is an annular traced structure for loading and conveying materials, which is near the bottom of inner cavity of the horizontal yeast-killing device (1), and the structure is along the length of the horizontal yeast-killing device. The annular traced structure for loading and conveying materials includes driving sprocket (4) and driven sprocket (2). The driving sprocket (4) and the driven sprocket (2) are connected via a conveying chain (3) transmission; On an ear-plate on the conveying chain (3) is connected with a breathable loading board (22). The air inside the horizontal yeast-killing device (1) and the added hot steam are stratified because of density difference, and the upper layer is hot steam, the fresh fruits bunches into the yeast-killing tank are all located in the upper layer of hot steam. There is no need to remove the air from the tanks, it also can be achieved that the yeast-killing process of fresh fruit bunches, this technology can shorten the time of yeast-killing process and reduce the usage amount of hot steam.
