Tubular separator helps the "green" development of the plant extract industry

In recent years, with the improvement of people's living standards, the concept of "return to nature" and "green consumption" has been gradually popularized, and green, natural, pollution-free food and health care products are showing great development prospects at home and abroad According to customs data, China's export of plant extracts jumped to US $1778 million in 2014, up 25.88% year on year As a new green industry, plant extract industry is in the stage of development, and its market scale is leaping Plant extract industry is becoming a new hotspot of drug research and development in the world Plant extract is a kind of product formed by taking plant as raw material, extracting and concentrating one or more effective ingredients in plant according to the needs of the final product, through physical and chemical extraction and separation process, without changing the structure of effective ingredients At present, it is widely used in the fields of plant medicine, food additive, functional food, plant pesticide and veterinary medicine It is understood that plant extract is mainly used in food, health products and other industries directly related to life and health, so the quality control of plant extract products is the core link of the whole industry The quality of plant extracts is affected by impurities, water and microorganism of plant sources or plant extracts Therefore, plant extraction is the key, plant extraction equipment will become an important guarantee for the quality of plant extracts The author has learned that due to the high degree of separation required for plant extracts, the requirements for extraction equipment are also relatively high Among them, the tubular separator is widely used in the market For example, the GQ traditional Chinese medicine tubular separator produced by Guangzhou Fuyi liquid separation technology Co., Ltd is designed for the traditional Chinese medicine product industry and plant extraction industry The machine does not lose the effective ingredients in the medicine, shortens the settling time, improves the clarity of the product and increases the output The product can fully meet the GMP certification requirements According to experts, the separation factor of the tubular separator is as high as 13000-62000, and the separation effect is good It is suitable for the treatment of the hard to separate suspension or emulsion with solid particle diameter of 0.01-100 μ m, solid concentration of less than 1%, density difference between light phase and heavy phase of more than 0.01 kg / decimeter The treatment capacity is 0.1-4 cubic meters per hour At present, in the market, the special overspeed tube separator can also be used for the separation and concentration of gas mixtures with different densities To be sure, the plant extract industry is a technology dependent industry With the rapid development of plant extract industry and the demand of related drug research and development, advanced extraction technology and equipment become the key to improve the quality of extract products China's plant extract industry still needs to work harder in the extraction process It is urgent to improve the utilization rate of raw materials and reduce waste of raw materials With the increasing number of competitors in the industry and the increasingly fierce degree of competition, we believe that enterprises will inevitably choose the development strategy of continuously improving technology and developing new technology.
