Chinese herbal medicine decoction pieces have achieved rapid development, and the level of automation and intelligent production has been greatly improved

[ Focus on Chemical Machinery Equipment Network ] Under the influence of various factors such as national policy encouragement, market demand, and economic driving, the Chinese medicine industry will continue to have a better policy environment, and the cultural foundation of Chinese medicine will continue to be strengthened.
The data shows that after years of development, the market share of traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces has been increasing.
The market size of the Chinese herbal medicine processing industry has increased from 178.
6 billion yuan in 2016 to 273.
2 billion yuan in 2019, with an average annual compound growth rate of 15.
65%.
It is estimated that by 2021, the market size of the Chinese herbal medicine processing industry is expected to reach 337.
63 billion yuan.

Promoted by the two-way favorable factors of the aging population and various policies of traditional Chinese medicine, my country's traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces industry has developed rapidly.
However, it is worth noting that under the trend of consumption upgrade and high-end industrial development, the traditional Chinese medicine decoction piece industry needs to achieve segmentation and high-quality, large-scale development.
Therefore, automation and intelligent equipment play an important role in the production and development of Chinese medicine decoction pieces.

It is understood that many Chinese herbal medicine companies now take the production of high-quality Chinese herbal medicines and rare and authentic herbal medicines as their responsibility, and strengthen the application of automated production lines to promote the better development of Chinese herbal medicines.
For example, a company said that the company currently has about 6000 square meters of traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces production workshop, equipped with various functions such as cleaning, moisturizing, cutting, drying, frying, screening, and sun shed.
It is equipped with an automatic screening and chipping machine, a high-efficiency thermal dryer, a new type of electromagnetic thermal frying machine, and integrated equipment for screening and winnowing, etc.
, to produce safe, effective, and delicious Chinese herbal medicine pieces.  

　　In addition, some companies said that the application and promotion of automatic dispensing equipment for decoction pieces in a large number of manufacturing enterprises and medical institutions will promote the improvement of production efficiency in the whole industry of decoction pieces and contribute to the innovation and development of the industry.
It is reported that the average dispensing speed of the company’s Chinese herbal medicine automatic dispensing system is 15 seconds/dose.
It adopts an industrial assembly line operation method of taste-by-flavor weighing and parallel processing.
A single decoction cabinet of the system covers an area of ​​about 1 square meter and can hold up to 42 The taste medicine can achieve an average speed of 15 seconds/dose, and the error is small and accurate.
After testing, the automatic dispensing system of herbal medicines can dispense 1920 doses of drugs in 8 hours, which is equivalent to the workload of 13 dispensing pharmacists, and can save users about 1.
3 million yuan in labor costs each year.  

　　Nowadays, traditional Chinese medicine is constantly embarking on the road of modern production, and the application of automated production equipment will greatly improve the production efficiency of Chinese herbal medicine.
For example, a quantitative automatic packaging machine can complete more than 50 small packages per minute on average, and close to 30,000 packages in 8 hours, which can greatly reduce labor costs, reduce labor intensity of workers, and improve product quality.

 

　　The improvement of the automation and intelligence of the production of Chinese herbal medicines is conducive to the realization of scale, standardization and standardization of the production of Chinese herbal medicines, improving the production efficiency and product quality of the products, ensuring the efficacy of the products, and promoting the further development of the industry.
The "Opinions on Promoting the Inheritance and Innovation and Development of Traditional Chinese Medicine" also proposed: "Promote the application of modern information technology in the production of Chinese medicine and improve the level of intelligent manufacturing.
" In the context of the continuous advancement of intelligent manufacturing, the automation and The level of intelligence will be gradually improved.  

　　In recent years, although the degree of automation in the production of Chinese medicine decoction pieces has been greatly improved, from the current point of view, the level of automation and intelligence in the Chinese medicine decoction pieces industry is not high.
On the one hand, because the products of Chinese herbal medicine processing enterprises present the characteristics of "small and complete", product varieties and specifications, and different processing techniques, the processing process is mainly based on modular unit operations, and the integration of the entire line of processing equipment has not yet been realized.
And optimization.
On the other hand, the current "small and fragmented" state of the traditional Chinese medicine decoction piece industry has not been completely changed.
Many small-scale, extensively operated enterprises have a low level of production automation.  

　　Now benefiting from the strong support of industrial policies, the gradual improvement of national processing standards, the continuous implementation of GMP management standards, and the gradual implementation of packaging management of decoction pieces, the overall development of the traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces industry has been continuously standardized, the market environment has gradually improved, and the industry has been concentrated.
The degree and technical level continue to improve.
It is believed that through various efforts, the automation and intelligence level of the traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces industry will be improved just around the corner.
