Plant essential oil raw material pretreatment process

Abstract

The invention relates to a plant essential oil raw material pretreatment process. Automatic cleaning equipment is used, the automatic cleaning equipment comprises a work box, a brushing device and a rinsing device, and when the automatic cleaning equipment is used for pretreating citrus plant essential oil raw materials, the specific technological process is as follows: raw material screening, stem and leaf cutting, equipment inspection, raw material brushing, raw material rinsing and discharged material collection. According to the process, the citrus plant essential oil raw material is cleaned by adopting a mode of brushing and rinsing in sequence; the raw materials can be fully cleaned, raw material full cleaning is ensured, dirt such as silt and dust remaining in round holes in the surfaces of orange raw materials can be effectively removed, the raw materials can be pushed to reciprocate in the rinsing process, the rinsing area of the raw materials is increased, the rinsing thoroughness is guaranteed, the brushed raw materials can fall into the rinsing device without being transported by transfer equipment, and the working time is saved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of plant essential oil treatment, in particular to a plant essential oil raw material pretreatment process. Background technique [0002] Plant essential oils are the unique aromatic substances extracted from plants, which are taken from the flowers, leaves, roots, bark, fruits, seeds, resins, etc. of herbal plants.

Problems solved by technology

[0004] (1) In order to save time and work costs, many manufacturers use soaking to clean the raw materials. Although it can remove some stains attached to the skin of the raw materials, it cannot play a good role in cleaning the soil and other stains located in the pores of the skin. The quality of essential oils made from raw materials with residual stains is bound to be suboptimal;

[0005] (2) After preliminary cleaning such as soaking the raw materials, it is often necessary to rinse them again. Before rinsing, the raw materials need to be transported through the existing automatic transfer equipment, which consumes some extra working time, and the skin of the raw materials will also be damaged during the transportation process. Adhering to new stains not only reduces work efficiency but also affects cleaning effect
