The alcohol concentrator mainly focuses on concentrating and recovering alcohol extracts. When workers use alcohol as a solvent for decoction and reflux concentration, the alcohol’s concentration will drop significantly, and it will also contain a large amount of medicinal residues and other impurities. To reduce consumption and costs, we must reuse this alcohol in a timely manner. This reuse not only requires us to remove medicinal residues and other impurities from the mother liquor but also to increase the alcohol content to a specific level. Fortunately, the alcohol concentrator can complete this entire technological process at the same time. Specifically, it requires the dilute mother liquor to have an alcohol concentration of approximately 45%. In addition, if the dilute mother liquor has a higher alcohol concentration, the recovery amount will also increase correspondingly.

Key Component Details
Heating Chamber
The heating chamber adopts a double-layer structure to achieve heat insulation and heating effects. Its interior has a tubular design, and we connect it to the evaporation chamber through nozzle elbows at both the top and bottom. Workers can open the cover of the heating chamber to clean the tube bundle easily. We also equip the steam inlet pipe with a steam pressure gauge and a safety valve to ensure the safety of production operations.
Evaporation Chamber
Similarly, the evaporation chamber also adopts a double-layer structure for heat insulation. The front of it is equipped with a sight glass, which allows workers to observe the working condition of the material liquid clearly. Additionally, it is equipped with a vacuum pressure gauge and a thermometer, so operators can conveniently monitor the vacuum degree and material liquid temperature inside the chamber. Furthermore, the rear of the evaporation chamber is provided with a manhole to facilitate cleaning work.
Structural Features
Firstly, the alcohol concentrator has a full stainless steel casing structure, which is not only beautiful but also durable. Secondly, its special safety cover design ensures that the distillation tank is not directly exposed, thereby providing extra protection for operators. Moreover, it is equipped with an integrally drawn stainless steel distillation tank, which is combined with a fully sealed large heat-conducting metal shell integrated with the distillation tank. This design eliminates the need for heat-conducting oil as a thermal medium, thus avoiding the cost of replacing heat-conducting oil and the hidden danger of medium failure. In addition, the distillation tank cover is equipped with a built-in spring pressure relief device to ensure that the internal pressure of the distillation tank does not exceed 1 PSI.

Control and Operation Features
Temperature Control and Heating System
The alcohol concentrator adopts digital temperature control with an LCD control display; workers can set the temperature to any value between 75°C and 240°C, and a 16-digit liquid crystal display shows the temperature clearly. For the heating system, it uses double-sealed electric heating elements with high-efficiency thermal insulation layers to improve heating efficiency and energy conservation. It also has a stainless steel condenser with an air-cooling cooling mode to ensure effective cooling effect.
Automatic Control and Operation Convenience
In terms of control, sensors monitor temperatures at various points and the operating status of the machine in real time, and an intrinsically safe microprocessor control circuit realizes automatic control. Furthermore, it features easy operation: the entire process is fully automated, enabling 24-hour continuous operation without shutdown for 365 days. When there is no material, it automatically shuts down under the control of computer intelligence. Besides, it also has a self-diagnosis function, where indicator lights display error information to help workers troubleshoot quickly.
