Concentration equipment for traditional Chinese medicine extracts

Concentration and extraction equipment is equipment used to extract and concentrate the active ingredients of Chinese herbal medicine and various plants.

There are many types of traditional Chinese medicine concentration and extraction equipment. Due to the different processes used by each manufacturer, the combination of concentration and extraction equipment is also different.

The pre-treatment and extraction process of traditional Chinese medicine is a key process in production and also the most overlooked process.

The organic combination of equipment and production technology and the correct use of equipment are an important link in improving quality and efficiency.

Traditional Chinese medicine extraction and concentration equipment mainly consists of extraction tanks, foam traps, horizontal condensers, coolers, volatile oil separators, metering tanks, intermediate storage tanks, etc.

The unique oil-water separator design integrates vacuum conversion function to achieve better oil-water separation effect.

Made of glass material for easy observation.

The working principle of the concentration extraction equipment: The second extraction liquid is sucked into the intermediate storage tank through vacuum like the first time, and the slag discharge port of the extraction tank is opened to drain out the drug residue.

Then use vacuum to pump the two extraction liquids in the storage tank into the extraction tank. Just like extraction, the liquid in the tank is concentrated under vacuum.

After the concentration reaches the index requirements, it can be directly discharged or stored again in an intermediate storage tank for later use.

The heating method adopts electric heating.

In reflux extraction, the secondary steam foam trap generated in the tank enters the condenser for condensation, then enters the cooler, volatile oil separator, and then into the metering tank, and can be refluxed to the extraction tank as needed.

The light oil is discharged from the discharge port through manual control, and this cycle continues until the extraction is terminated.

After the extraction is completed, the extraction liquid is sucked into the intermediate storage tank through a vacuum pump.

The extraction tank then performs a secondary extraction operation.
