The multi-functional extraction tank is a versatile equipment widely used in the traditional Chinese medicine, food, and chemical industries. It supports various extraction processes such as atmospheric pressure extraction, vacuum extraction, water decoction, warm soaking, heat reflux, forced circulation, essential oil extraction, and organic solvent recovery. Its user-friendly design and efficient operation make it an ideal choice for industrial applications.
The working principle of the multi-functional extraction tank varies depending on the type of extraction being performed:
1. **Water Extraction**: The medicinal materials and water are placed into the extraction tank, and the heating source in the jacket is activated. Once the mixture starts boiling, the heat source is reduced to maintain a gentle boil. The duration of this process depends on the specific pharmacological requirements. After the extraction is complete, the steam is cooled and condensed back into water, which then circulates within the tank to maintain temperature and enhance efficiency.
2. **Alcohol Extraction**: In this process, the medicinal material and alcohol are sealed inside the tank. Steam is introduced into the jacket to provide heat, while cooling water is circulated to regulate the temperature. As the alcohol vapor rises, it passes through a condenser, where it condenses into liquid and returns to the tank as a reflux. To improve efficiency, a pump can be used to force circulation, moving the liquid from the bottom of the tank to the top, ensuring even distribution and better extraction.
3. **Essential Oil Extraction**: For extracting volatile oils, the medicinal material and water containing the oils are added to the tank. The oil separator’s circulation valve is opened, and the bypass return valve is adjusted. The heating source is turned on until the desired temperature for volatilization is reached. Cooling water is then applied to condense the vapor, allowing the oil to separate in the oil-water separator. This process is often repeated using alternating separators for maximum yield.
4. **Solvent Recovery**: When recovering solvents like alcohol, the solvent is added to the tank, and the steam cooling system is activated. The recovery valve is then opened, allowing the vaporized solvent to be condensed and collected for reuse.
This flexible and efficient system ensures high-quality extraction results while reducing waste and improving overall productivity. Whether you're working with water, alcohol, or essential oils, the multi-functional extraction tank offers a reliable and adaptable solution for your industrial needs.
