The ultrasonic-assisted extraction concentration equipment is a high-efficiency extraction device that combines the cavitation effect of ultrasound with traditional extraction processes. It utilizes the acoustic energy generated by high-frequency vibrations to disrupt the structural organization of plant cells, enabling rapid release of target components into the solvent. This is then integrated with a concentration system to achieve simultaneous extraction and concentration operations.
From laboratory-scale 20L trials to 1000L industrial production, this type of equipment has been widely applied in various fields such as pharmaceuticals, food, cosmetics, and chemical industries. Compared to traditional decoction and reflux extraction methods, ultrasonic assisted extraction equipment can achieve higher extraction rates in a shorter time while preserving the activity of heat-sensitive components.
Ultrasonic assisted extraction equipment generates cavitation effect in liquid through high-frequency sound waves, instantly forming high-temperature and high-pressure microbubbles that collapse, generating shock waves and microjets to destroy cell walls. At the same time, combined with mechanical vibration and mild thermal effects, the effective ingredients are quickly released into the solvent, achieving efficient, low-temperature, and energy-saving extraction process.
Actual case: Traditional extraction of flavonoids in traditional Chinese medicine takes 6-8 hours, but with ultrasound assistance, it can be completed within 1 hour, significantly improving extraction efficiency.
Frequency range: 20-40kHz, adjustable according to material characteristics
Adjustable power: 500W-6000W, supports continuous/intermittent working mode
Temperature control: The constant temperature system can control temperature fluctuations within a range of ± 0.5 ℃
Material standard: Food/pharmaceutical grade SUS304/316L stainless steel, polished inner and outer welds of 300 mesh
A complete ultrasonic extraction and concentration process usually includes the following steps:
Step 1: Material pretreatment → Cleaning, crushing, sieving
↓
Step 2: Ultrasonic extraction → Add solvent, ultrasonic wall breaking extraction
↓
Step 3: Solid liquid separation → filtration, centrifugation, alcohol precipitation
↓
Step 4: concentration and drying → vacuum concentration and spray drying
Compared with traditional methods, ultrasonic extraction equipment achieves breakthroughs in multiple dimensions:
Extraction time: shortened from hours to tens of minutes
Extraction rate: 20% -40% higher than traditional processes
Energy consumption reduction: Comprehensive energy consumption has decreased by about 25%
ultrasonic assisted extraction equipment can be carried out under normal or low temperature conditions, effectively reducing the loss of thermosensitive components. This is particularly important for active substances such as saponins, anthocyanins, and plant essential oils in traditional Chinese medicine.
By enhancing the mass transfer process, ultrasonic extraction can reduce solvent usage by 30% -50%, lower subsequent concentration energy consumption and waste liquid treatment costs.
Microcomputer control, capable of storing multiple sets of work data
Continuous adjustable ultrasound power and automatic amplitude adjustment
CIP online cleaning system reduces cleaning time to 15 minutes
Complete fault protection and temperature protection functions
ultrasonic assisted extraction equipment is not limited by component polarity or molecular weight, and is suitable for the extraction of the vast majority of Chinese medicinal materials and various components. The equipment can be expanded from laboratory grade (50L) to industrial grade (6000L) and supports personalized customization.
