Take advantage of the policy of "riding the wind" to extract and concentrate traditional Chinese Medicine

[editor's point of view of chinapharma.com] in recent years, China's TCM industry policies have been favorable The TCM law passed on July 1, 2017 is a "ride" for the development of TCM industry As one of the indispensable equipment for extraction of traditional Chinese medicine, the hot reflux extraction and concentration equipment of traditional Chinese medicine will also usher in a new development space However, with the trend of equipment integration, intensification and energy conservation and environmental protection, the hot reflux extraction and concentration equipment of traditional Chinese medicine will be "blocked and long" in the future (take advantage of the policy of "ride the wind" to extract and concentrate equipment of traditional Chinese medicine Photo source: Baidu photo) due to the growing demand for the development of traditional Chinese medicine industry, many pharmaceutical machinery enterprises in the market began to launch the extraction and concentration equipment unit of traditional Chinese medicine Compared with the single extraction equipment, the extraction and concentration equipment has a more compact structure, a smaller floor area and a higher space utilization ratio The market competition is increasingly fierce, and there are various kinds of products In different types of extraction and concentration equipment, the hot reflux extraction and concentration unit of traditional Chinese medicine stands out The hot reflux extraction and concentration unit of traditional Chinese medicine integrates four extraction principles: reflux, percolation extraction, countercurrent extraction and hot reflux extraction and concentration It can carry out two processes of extraction and concentration of traditional Chinese medicine at the same time, complete the new process of extraction and concentration of traditional Chinese medicine at one time, and improve the extraction tank The high-temperature decocting process with internal pressure at atmospheric pressure and low-temperature extraction and concentration with vacuum negative pressure can effectively keep the effective ingredients of Chinese herbal medicine from evaporation At the same time, the steam generated from extraction and concentration is condensed by a hot cooler and returned to the extraction tank, which is added to the medicine as a new solvent The new solvent passes through the medicine layer from top to bottom, playing a dynamic percolation role, dissolving the soluble substances of the medicine to the bottom of the extraction tank and entering the concentrator for concentration
Experts in the industry said that according to many years of practice and research, under the effect of vacuum and low-temperature heat of vaporization, the greater the concentration difference, the higher the extraction rate of effective ingredients The hot reflux extraction and concentration method of traditional Chinese medicine can keep a higher concentration difference in unit time between the solute in the tissue of traditional Chinese medicine in the extraction tank and the solute in the leaching solution, improve the utilization rate of APIs, and bring great benefits to the traditional Chinese medicine industry Great business opportunities, the future prospects are bound to be good In this context, many equipment R & D enterprises carry out the research and exploration of concentration technology, make breakthroughs on the basis of introducing technical talents and cooperating with school enterprises, and create more types of extraction and concentration equipment The author has learned that Shanghai Yuyan Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd has launched the y-tn-c ultrasonic extraction and concentration unit for traditional Chinese medicine extraction and concentration, which is applicable to many processes such as normal pressure and normal temperature ultrasonic extraction, Soxhlet extraction, dynamic thermal reflux extraction, plant essential oil extraction and vacuum concentration of extraction solution in traditional Chinese medicine, health care products, biopharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food and other industries This set of ultrasonic extraction and concentration unit is very suitable for the trial production of various varieties and small quantities in laboratories of universities, research institutes, enterprises and institutions, and R & D departments of pharmaceutical factories For another example, the traditional Chinese medicine extraction and concentration production line of Wenzhou tianwo Machinery Technology Co., Ltd can be used in various process operations of traditional Chinese medicine, food, chemical industry, such as atmospheric pressure, micro pressure, water frying, warm soaking, hot reflux, forced circulation, percolation, aromatic oil extraction and organic solvent recovery It can make the extraction effect better, the time shorter and the medicine liquid content higher The equipment mixing system is divided into screw mixing and paddle mixing At the same time, the equipment has excellent material selection and is widely used in pharmaceutical, food, chemical and other industries China's traditional Chinese medicine has a long history and strong strength On the basis of respecting the tradition, making good use of modern mechanical equipment and technology, and grasping the development trend of the industry, we can make TCM products better benefit the people As an important extraction equipment, traditional Chinese medicine extraction and concentration equipment has a bright future and will face more challenges in the future Only starting from the market demand, breaking through oneself, grasping technology and talents, can we break through the barriers and become more brave.
