Percolation Tank

1. Moistening: Prepare the solvent in a certain proportion, pour the solvent into the medicinal materials. The medicinal materials will fully expand after absorbing the solvent.
2. Loading into the Tank: After the medicinal materials are moistened for a period of time, load them into the percolation tank (or a multi – function extraction tank).
3. Infiltration: Slowly add the extraction solvent into the percolation tank until the liquid level is about 20 – 30 centimeters higher than the medicinal materials. Close the liquid inlet and the feeding port and let it infiltrate for 24 – 48 hours.
4. Percolation: After a certain period of time, discharge the percolation liquid, and then add the extraction solvent again. Repeat the percolation for multiple times.

1. Appropriate Particle Size: If the particles are too coarse, the extraction will be insufficient and full percolation cannot be achieved. If they are too fine, the slag discharge door will be blocked and the liquid will not flow out smoothly. Generally, coarse powder (5 – 20 meshes) is used.
2. Moistening of Solid Materials: Premoistening has an impact on the yield of percolation; insufficient leaching may occur if not done properly.
3. The pressure for compacting the medicinal powder should be uniform.
4. Control the Percolation Speed: If it is too fast, the extraction will be insufficient; if it is too slow, the efficiency will be affected.

Our company specializes in producing stainless steel percolation tanks, which are offered at favorable prices, clean and hygienic, and have an attractive appearance. To ensure sufficient solvent infiltration and extraction of medicinal materials, generally, percolation tanks adopt a large length – to – diameter ratio, usually choosing 2 – 4. For medicinal materials with good solubility, regular – cone percolation tanks are generally used, because the cone – shaped part can make the compacted medicinal materials looser to some extent and has contraction space. Percolation tanks are generally operated under normal temperature and pressure, so they are usually single – layered. They can also be designed for heating or cooling according to the process design. The slag discharge door can be a manually quick – opening type or a convenient and fast cylinder – locking type slag discharge door. Straight – tube percolation tanks are generally used for materials that are relatively easy to percolate. The percolation tank is made of high – quality stainless steel, with a feeding port, a liquid inlet, a slag discharge door, a cleaning port, a sewage discharge port, etc. It is suitable for single infiltration and extraction or multiple infiltrations and extractions, with simple operation and sufficient percolation.
