Tubular Separator, Chinese Medicine Extraction Separation

 

With the rapid development of the Chinese medicine industry, Chinese medicine extraction technology, as a key link in the modernization process of Chinese medicine, has become increasingly important. The extraction process of Chinese medicine not only requires efficient separation of the active ingredients in the medicinal materials, but also ensures the purity and activity of the extract. In this process, the tubular centrifuge has shown strong application potential in the field of Chinese medicine extraction with its unique separation advantages. This article aims to comprehensively introduce the principles, characteristics, application advantages and development trends of Chinese medicine extraction tubular centrifuges, and provide valuable reference for Chinese medicine pharmaceutical companies.

 

Brief description of working principle

 

The working principle of the Chinese medicine extraction tubular centrifuge is based on the action of centrifugal force. When the centrifuge is started, the drum (which contains multiple precisely designed tubular discs) rotates at high speed, generating a strong centrifugal force field. Under this action, the solid particles (such as Chinese medicine residues, fibers, etc.) in the mixed liquid are pushed to the outer wall of the centrifuge because their density is greater than that of the liquid, forming a solid phase layer; while the liquid components (containing Chinese medicine extracts) flow to the center of the drum through the channels between the discs and are discharged from the outlet. This process achieves effective separation of solid and liquid, providing high-quality Chinese medicine extracts for subsequent purification steps.

Equipment Structure Analysis

 

The tubular centrifuge is mainly composed of a drum, a drive system, a transmission device, a control system, and a feed and discharge system. The drum is equipped with a precision tubular disc, which is the core component of separation; the drive system provides power to ensure stable and high-speed rotation of the drum; the transmission device connects the drive system and the drum to achieve smooth power transmission; the control system is responsible for monitoring the operating status of the equipment and adjusting various parameters; the feed and discharge system ensures the continuous input of raw materials and the smooth discharge of products.

 

Application

 

• Purification of vaccines (uncentrifuged vaccines contain a large amount of non-essential and harmful substances)
• Purification of lubricants and industrial oils
• Clarification and purification of foods (such as essential oils, extracts, juices)
• Separation of immiscible liquids that cannot be separated by gravity
