Electric heat tracing belts are also widely used in food processing, mainly involving insulation, heating, temperature control, and other aspects. The following are some application scenarios of electric heating strips in food processing:
1. Food heating and insulation: During food processing, certain ingredients or foods need to be heated or insulated. Electric heating strips can be installed on heating devices, stoves, ovens, and other equipment to maintain the appropriate temperature of food through heating, ensuring cooking effectiveness and food quality.
2. Pipeline insulation: In food production, liquid or semi-solid conveying pipelines are involved. In order to maintain the temperature stability of food during transportation, electric heat tracing strips can be installed on the pipelines to avoid temperature loss and changes.
3. Fermentation temperature control: In the production of foods such as bread and yogurt, a fermentation process is required. Electric heat tracing is used to maintain an appropriate fermentation temperature, ensuring that food achieves texture and flavor during fermentation.
4. Cold chain protection: After food processing, it needs to be stored and transported under refrigeration and freezing conditions. Electric heat tracing tape is used in refrigeration equipment, cold storage facilities, etc., to prevent freezing caused by low temperature or food spoilage caused by high temperature.
5. Temperature control: In specific food production processes, precise temperature control is required, such as the melting of chocolate and the preparation of pectin. Electric heat tracing provides precise temperature control to ensure the accuracy and consistency of the manufacturing process.
6. Heating strip tool: Special food production requires the use of heating strip tools, such as the process of melting cream or chocolate. Electric heat tracing can adapt to these tools and provide the required heating effect for specific tasks.
Overall, electric heat tracing plays a crucial role in food processing, helping to maintain appropriate temperatures during the food processing process, ensuring food quality, hygiene, and safety. However, when using electric heat tracing strips in the food industry, special attention needs to be paid to ensuring proper isolation between equipment and food to avoid any possible food contamination.
