Under the double stimulation of standard and market, the extraction and concentration equipment of traditional Chinese medicine has been upgraded continuously

[product information of pharmaceutical Station] there are many kinds of extraction and concentration equipment for traditional Chinese medicine Due to the different processes adopted by each manufacturer, there are also differences in the combination of extraction and concentration equipment At present, some pharmaceutical equipment enterprises in the market have launched a set of equipment for extraction and concentration of traditional Chinese medicine, which greatly saves raw materials and working time and improves working efficiency For example, the thermal reflux unit integrates the three principles of reflux extraction, percolation extraction and Soxhlet extraction of the existing extraction equipment, and combines the external thermal circulation concentration technology to concentrate the two processes of extraction and concentration on one equipment at the same time The secondary steam generated by concentration is continuously sent to the extraction tank as a new heat source for extraction, maintaining the extraction temperature in the extraction tank A large amount of steam in the extraction tank is condensed into condensate in the reflux device and falls back to the extraction tank, which is uniformly added to the surface of the medicine as a new solvent The new solvent passes through the medicine layer from top to bottom, dissolves the soluble substances in the medicine to the bottom of the extraction tank, eliminates the cold pile of the medicine, and extracts the filling When the extract enters the concentration tank, the concentration difference of the traditional Chinese medicine solution in the extraction tank will be continuously reduced, and the yield of the effective components will be greatly increased Due to the small amount of solvent used, the amount of medicine solution to be concentrated will be less, and the time of the extraction and concentration process will be shortened, so as to save energy
Experts said that according to relevant experience and research, under the effect of vacuum and low-temperature vaporization heat, the greater the concentration difference, the higher the extraction efficiency 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 lixivium, thus improving the utilization rate of APIs and bringing about a higher concentration difference to the traditional Chinese medicine industry Business opportunities, the future prospects will be more optimistic It should be reminded that some enterprises use the heat reflux extraction unit as a multifunctional extraction tank, which is wrong Because the extraction tank of the thermal reflux unit generally adopts the inverted cone design, which is convenient for slag removal, but the bottom is not heated According to the process of multi-functional extraction tank, herbal medicine will form a cold pile at the bottom of the extraction tank, reducing the extraction amount of effective ingredients, resulting in waste of herbal medicine In addition to the thermal reflux unit, the concentration equipment is also one of the essential equipment in the extraction and concentration process of traditional Chinese medicine The traditional concentration equipment is cumbersome, cumbersome in manufacturing and transportation, large in area and low in concentration efficiency With the improvement of GMP standard and the double stimulation of the rapid development of pharmaceutical industry, the concentration equipment also needs to be upgraded Taking vacuum vacuum vacuum concentrator as an example, vacuum vacuum concentrator is suitable for concentration of material liquid in pharmaceutical, food, chemical industry and other industries, and can be used for recovery of alcohol and simple reflux extraction only The contact parts of equipment and materials are made of stainless steel, which has good corrosion resistance and conforms to GMP standard In order to prevent the material from being polluted, many vacuum concentrator manufacturers have upgraded their products again All parts contacting with the material are made of stainless steel, so as to meet the production demand of the industry Industry insiders said that thanks to the attention of domestic medicine and scientific research fields, as well as the demand for extraction and production of traditional Chinese medicine, the development scale of vacuum vacuum concentrator market will be further expanded in the next few years In this context, the competition in the concentrator market may be more fierce, which will stimulate more concentrator manufacturers to join the competition With the development of concentration technology in China for many years, the equipment is more stable With the rapid development of traditional Chinese medicine industry and the increase of market demand, traditional Chinese medicine extraction and concentration equipment is facing more and more market opportunities Under the above conditions, enterprises of extraction and concentration equipment of traditional Chinese medicine need to keep pace with the times, improve equipment structure, actively absorb and learn advanced technology, improve the overall performance and level of domestic concentration equipment, and give more intelligent, automatic and digital advantages to extraction and concentration equipment of traditional Chinese medicine.
