What are the applications of TQ series multifunctional extraction tanks in the pharmaceutical indust
source:www.sjbyj.com Release time:2026-03-19
      The TQ series multifunctional extraction tank is a core extraction equipment in the pharmaceutical industry, especially in the field of traditional Chinese medicine. It can adapt to various working conditions such as normal pressure, pressure, and negative pressure, and meet the full process of water decoction, alcohol extraction, reflux, percolation, aromatic oil extraction, and solvent recovery. It is widely used for raw material extraction and production of traditional Chinese medicine, plant medicine, animal medicine, and some chemical medicines.
1、 Core application scenario (pharmaceutical industry)
1. Extraction of active ingredients from traditional Chinese medicine (core application)
      Water extraction (decoction): extract water-soluble ingredients such as alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, polysaccharides, etc., and use them in the production of traditional Chinese patent medicines and simple preparations such as oral liquids, granules, tablets, capsules, etc.
      Alcohol extraction (ethanol reflux/percolation): Extracting fat soluble or alcohol soluble components (such as volatile oil precursors, some alkaloids, terpenes), suitable for traditional Chinese medicine extracts, tinctures, wine preparations and other processes.
      Warm soaking/hot reflux/forced circulation: improves extraction efficiency and component yield, suitable for heat sensitive or insoluble component extraction.
      Percolation extraction: used for continuous and efficient extraction of valuable medicinal herbs and herbs with low content of active ingredients.
2. Extraction and Separation of Aromatic/Volatile Oils
      Extract essential oils from Chinese medicinal herbs containing volatile oils such as peppermint, patchouli, angelica, and chuanxiong, and use them in aromatic Chinese medicine preparations, topical ointments, aerosols, etc.
      Equipped with oil-water separator and condenser, achieve efficient collection of volatile oil and solvent recovery.
3. Extraction of animal medicinal materials
      Extract collagen, polypeptide, amino acid and other effective ingredients from animal drugs (such as ass hide glue, tortoise shell, turtle shell, earthworm, leech, etc.), and use them in the production of traditional Chinese medicine for nourishing, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.
4. Organic solvent recovery
      Recycling extraction solvents such as ethanol and acetone reduces costs and pollution, meeting environmental and GMP requirements.
5. Scientific research and pilot application
      Universities, research institutes, and pharmaceutical R&D departments are used for the development of new drug extraction processes, parameter optimization, and small/medium scale trial verification.
2、 Adaptation process and advantages (pharmaceutical production)
      Multi process compatibility: supports normal pressure/pressure/negative pressure, water decoction/warm soaking/hot reflux/forced circulation/percolation/volatile oil extraction/solvent recovery.
      GMP compliance: SUS304/316L material, internal and external polishing, CIP cleaning, reliable sealing, meets the requirements of clean production.
      Efficient and energy-saving: bottom heating, large heat exchange area, uniform temperature, shortened extraction time, and improved component yield.
      Operational safety: multi cylinder safety door, explosion-proof design, pressure/temperature self-control, suitable for various working conditions.
      Convenient slag removal: The inverted cone/mushroom shaped structure ensures clean slag removal and minimal residue.
3、 Typical pharmaceutical product application examples
      Chinese herbal oral solution/granules: water extraction+concentration+drying, such as Banlangen granules and Shuanghuanglian oral solution.
      Chinese medicine tablets/capsules: alcohol extracted/water extracted extracts, such as Ginkgo biloba leaves and Danshen capsules.
      Traditional Chinese Medicine Tinctures/Alcoholic Beverages: Ethanol percolation/reflux, such as Huoxiang Zhengqi Water and Rheumatoid Medicinal Wine.
      External preparations: volatile oil extraction+matrix preparation, such as cooling oil and bone injury ointment.
      Traditional Chinese Medicine Injection: High purity extraction+refinement, such as Qingkailing Injection and Shenmai Injection.
4、 Key selection points (pharmaceutical production)
      Tank form: straight tube type (alcohol extraction/percolation), regular cone/oblique cone (universal), inverted cone/mushroom type (easy to slag).
      Volume: TQ-0.5~TQ-10m ³, matching production capacity and feeding amount.
Pressure/temperature: Choose atmospheric pressure, slightly positive pressure (≤ 0.09MPa) or negative pressure according to the process.
      Supporting equipment: condenser, cooler, oil-water separator, filter, CIP system, etc.
