Scope
GB/T 37497-2019 is the English-translated version of 粮油机械 软化锅.
China's national standard for softening kettles in grain and oil processing. It specifies the terms and definitions, the working principle, the classification, the model designation and basic parameters, the technical requirements and the testing. Softening is the step immediately before flaking, and it exists because oilseed as it arrives is too brittle to flake. The kettle is a vertical stack of steam-jacketed pans with a stirrer through the centre, and it raises the seed's temperature and moisture to a point where the cell structure becomes plastic rather than glassy. A seed flaked without softening shatters into fragments and fines instead of forming a coherent flake, and the extraction that follows is compromised by the fines. Too much heat or moisture and the flake becomes sticky and closes the percolation bed in a different way. The window is narrow and specific to the seed, and holding a batch within it uniformly is what the machine is designed to do.

China's national standard for softening kettles in grain and oil processing.

Too much heat or moisture and the flake becomes sticky and closes the percolation bed in a different way. The window is narrow and specific to the seed, and holding a batch within it uniformly is what the machine is designed to do.
This standard specifies the terms and definitions, working principle, classification, model preparation and basic parameters, technical requirements, and test of grain and oil machinery softening pot. Test methods, inspection rules, marking and packaging, transportation and storage requirements. This standard applies to the design, manufacture and quality inspection of grain and oil machinery softening pans.
