Traditional Chinese Medicine Extraction and Concentration Unit

Specifically, engineers design it to extract and concentrate active ingredients from Chinese herbal medicines and various plants.

Notably, this unit fully complies with GMP pharmaceutical standards.

Therefore, it enjoys wide application in TCM factories, research institutes, university laboratories, and small-to-medium-sized pilot production lines.

Meanwhile, its rational structural design supports efficient, energy-saving, and environmentally friendly operation.

Importantly, it effectively solves typical problems in traditional TCM extraction and concentration.

These issues include long processing time, high solvent consumption, and easy loss of active ingredients.

Consequently, the unit greatly improves both production efficiency and product quality.

All parts work together to ensure stable and efficient performance.

Furthermore, engineers design each component to meet the professional demands of TCM extraction and concentration.

Specifically, the key components are as follows:

It holds medicinal materials and solvents and provides stable heating.

Moreover, it uses a sealed structure to prevent solvent volatilization and material contamination.

Additionally, it includes a safety pressure relief device to guarantee safe operation.

It concentrates the extracted solution efficiently.

Specifically, it uses an external heating circulation design.

This design shortens heating time and protects heat-sensitive ingredients effectively.

It consists of two glass cylinders.

These cylinders extend separation time and improve overall separation efficiency.

Furthermore, the transparent glass allows users to observe the separation process directly.

It converts secondary steam from concentration into liquid condensate.

Operators can reuse this condensate as a recycling solvent.

In this way, the system achieves clear energy-saving and environmental benefits.

It intelligently manages the entire production process.

This includes precise control of temperature, vacuum degree, and solvent discharge.

Moreover, it supports automatic liquid release to reduce labor intensity.

It works closely with the control box.

Together, they satisfy diverse process requirements.

For example, they enable normal-temperature extraction with low-temperature concentration.

We install this device inside the tank for convenient daily cleaning.

It ensures hygienic conditions and fully meets GMP standards.

It separates residual steam and condensate from the heating chamber.

As a result, it significantly improves the overall energy utilization rate.

The unit supports both water extraction and alcohol extraction.

Furthermore, it performs atmospheric extraction, water decoction, wet immersion, thermal reflux, and cyclic permeation.

It realizes low-temperature vacuum concentration.

This feature makes it highly suitable for heat-sensitive TCM materials.

Meanwhile, it offers short processing time and high working efficiency.

It separately recovers high-concentration and dilute solvents.

Users can reuse these solvents easily.

Consequently, it greatly improves solvent utilization.

It collects aromatic oils during the extraction process.

This ensures the integrity of active ingredients in TCM products.

Its reflux design reduces steam and solvent consumption.

Additionally, users can reuse condensate as distilled water, which supports resource recycling.

Compared with single-effect concentrators, it saves a large amount of energy every year.

It applies dynamic extraction and concentration technology.

This shortens the entire processing cycle significantly.

Typically, it finishes the full reflux extraction‑concentration process within 4–6 hours.

Moreover, its evaporation efficiency far exceeds that of national standard concentrators.

All material-contact parts use high-quality stainless steel.

Workers polish all welds smoothly.

The unit also features three-layer thermal insulation and an open structure.

Together, these designs ensure high hygiene and safety levels.

The whole process runs automatically.

It supports 24‑hour continuous operation with only one operator.

Furthermore, it includes a self-diagnosis function and an LCD screen for easy monitoring.

It suits various TCM materials and plant extracts.

Besides, it serves the pharmaceutical, food, and chemical industries.

Particularly, it performs excellently in R&D and small‑batch production.

Specifically, it applies to the following scenarios:

Then, add 5–10 times the amount of solvent (water, ethanol, etc.) according to process rules.

Next, start the heating system of the extraction tank.

Heat the solution until it boils steadily.

Then, turn off the heating in the extraction tank.

After that, start the heating system of the concentration tank.

Meanwhile, keep the vacuum degree between -0.05 and -0.08 MPa.

Secondary steam from concentration condenses into liquid.

This liquid flows back to the extraction tank for cyclic extraction.

Finally, keep concentrating until the ointment reaches the required specific gravity.

The remaining colorless liquid can be reused for the next batch.

Then, turn on direct heating and jacketed hot water.

Next, recover the organic solvent completely.

Once solvent recovery finishes, discharge the medicinal residue safely.
