Upstream process equipment (fermentation preparation stage - auxiliary equipment)
In addition to the main process of fermentation preparation, auxiliary equipment provides supporting guarantees for strain cultivation and fermentation operation. It is mainly used for raw material treatment, medium preparation, environmental control, material transportation, supporting detection, etc., so as to ensure the stable, aseptic and continuous operation of fermentation.
Commonly include：
Raw material pretreatment equipment: crushers, sieving machines, batching tanks, cooking / liquefaction equipment
Sterility assurance equipment: air compressors, air filters, steam generators, sterilization equipment
Utility supporting facilities: cooling water circulation system, refrigeration/heating equipment, pressure-stabilizing storage tank
Material Handling and Metering: Pumps, Pipeline Valves, Flow Meters, Weighing and Batching Systems
Detection and Control Auxiliaries: Sampling Devices, Online Monitoring Accessories, Buffer Tanks, Defoaming Devices
Its overall function is to support the stable operation of main fermentation equipment and achieve sterile, controllable and large-scale biological fermentation preparation.
