[0015] A production process of Lu Dangshen paste, the production process of Lu Dangshen paste comprises the following steps:

[0016] Step one, net selection, the net selection is the operation personnel to remove the non-medicinal part of Lu Dangshen;

[0017] Step two, water washing, the water washing is to place the net selected Lu Dangshen into the cleaning tank, and use the cleaning tank to clean, so that the Lu Dangshen achieves the effect of non-medicinal part without dust and sand;

[0018] The Codonopsis pilosula placed in the cleaning tank is rubbed and squeezed cleaned by the output motor. The output motor drives the rotation of the rotating vertical rod, which in turn rotates the reciprocating screw inside the rotating vertical rod. This causes the connected structure to move up and down, which in turn moves the conical rubber groove block inside the spacer assembly up and down, thus achieving the effect of frequent water replacement in the cleaning tank. At the same time, the reciprocating screw inside the rotating vertical rod drives the first filter plate to move up and down. The rotation of the conversion assembly causes the first filter plate to rotate. This, combined with the rotation, squeezing and rubbing of the second filter plate, can achieve the effect of removing dust and mud from the non-medicinal parts of the Codonopsis pilosula. After cleaning, all the liquid in the cleaning tank is released, and deep purified drinking water is introduced for a final cleaning. After cleaning, the Codonopsis pilosula is taken out through the sealed door, thus ending the water washing process.

[0019] Step 3, extraction: The extraction involves putting the washed Codonopsis pilosula into an extraction tank, adding water at a volume of 5-7 times the amount of the herb, heating to boiling, and then starting a timer for hot reflux extraction for 5 hours. After the hot reflux extraction is completed, the heating of the extraction tank is stopped, and the liquid after hot reflux is filtered through a 200-mesh stainless steel screen. The liquid is then transferred to a temporary storage tank for temporary storage, awaiting concentration.

[0020] Step 4: Concentration. The concentration involves drawing all the medicinal liquid into a concentrator and concentrating it until the specific gravity reaches 1.02 to 1.10. Concentration is then stopped, and the liquid is transferred. The concentrated liquid is filtered through a 300-mesh bag, and the fluid extract is then drawn into a spherical concentrator for vacuum concentration. The concentration temperature must be 60℃ to 80℃, the vacuum degree must be -0.04MPa to -0.08MPa, the steam pressure must be ≤0.27MPa, and the liquid must be concentrated until the specific gravity reaches 1.34. During the concentration process, the relative density must be ≥1.35 when measured at 80℃, thus forming a thick paste.

[0021] Step 5: Collecting the paste. The paste collection involves connecting the thick paste through a pipeline to a cleaned and disinfected stainless steel bucket, sealing the bucket, filling out a material flow card, placing it on a stainless steel trolley and transferring it to the transfer room. The operator and the transfer manager weigh the paste together, fill in the weight on the material flow card and sign it. After the transfer manager verifies that there are no errors, the handover procedures are completed, and the material is transferred to the cold storage room and a pending inspection sign is hung.

[0022] Step 6, Packaging: The packaging involves heating and stirring the Codonopsis pilosula extract at a speed of 18 Hz. The extract, placed in the mixing tank, is heated to 35-50°C and then transported through pipelines to the packaging workshop for packaging.

[0023] Step 7: Outsourcing. The outsourcing involves transporting the packaged materials to the outsourcing room via a conveyor belt. The outsourcing receiving personnel attach a material flow card with the product name, batch number, specifications, date, and weight filled in to each material turnover container. After all the materials are packaged, the packaging operators and the outsourcing team leader calculate the weight together and record the total weight divided by the average weight of 10 bags of packaged products. The total quantity and yield are calculated, and the outsourcing ends.

[0024] Step 8: Warehousing. After confirming that the outsourced materials are correct, the packaged materials are transported to the warehouse for storage. This completes the production of Lu Dang Shen paste.

[0025] Furthermore, in step three, the reflux extraction process must meet the following requirements: reflux temperature range of 60–80°C, vacuum degree range of -0.04 MPa to -0.08 MPa, steam pressure in the extraction tank ≤0.3 MPa, steam pressure in the double-effect concentrator ≤0.2 MPa, and concentration during extraction must meet the following requirements: temperature range of 60–80°C, vacuum degree range of -0.04 MPa to -0.08 MPa, and steam pressure range ≤0.2 MPa.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a production process and equipment for Codonopsis pilosula extract, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0027] 1. This device uses up-and-down squeezing and kneading combined with a soft brush to ensure the cleaning quality of Codonopsis pilosula without damaging its surface. This avoids the problem of surface damage that may occur when cleaning Codonopsis pilosula with traditional devices, thus ensuring the efficacy of the medicinal material and preventing the growth of microorganisms, mold, or rot in damaged areas.

[0028] 2. This device utilizes several arc plates within the connecting ring to ensure that the rotational force of the screw rod within the conversion assembly drives the fixed ring to rotate. This allows the power of the first filter plate's up-and-down movement to be transmitted as the rotation of the first filter plate, increasing the cleaning effect of Codonopsis pilosula and thus ensuring the production of Codonopsis pilosula extract.

[0029] 3. The device utilizes the fixed connection between the second filter plate and the rotating vertical rod to ensure the rotation effect of the second filter plate during the operation of the rotating vertical rod, thus ensuring the production quality of Codonopsis pilosula extract in the later stage. The filter plate structure ensures better liquid passage and does not affect the liquid passage effect during the cleaning process.

[0030] 4. The device utilizes the soft material of the brush body to ensure the cleaning quality of Codonopsis pilosula without damaging its surface, thus improving the cleaning quality and preventing a reduction in its medicinal properties, thereby ensuring the production of Codonopsis pilosula extract.

Several connecting groove plates 12 are fixedly installed on the top surface of each of them with reinforcing inclined plates 15 for reinforcement. The top surface of several reinforcing inclined plates 15 is fixedly installed with a limiting slip ring 16 for limiting. The inner wall of the limiting slip ring 16 is slidably connected to the surface of the rotating vertical rod 4. A sealing door 17 for material removal is provided on one side of the surface of the cleaning tank 1.

[0047] The spacer assembly 11 includes a positioning ring block 1101 rotatably mounted on the lower side of the rotating vertical rod 4. Several positioning rods 1102 for positioning are fixedly mounted on the periphery of the positioning ring block 1101.

[0050] A production process for Codonopsis pilosula extract, comprising the following steps;

[0051] Step 1, Cleaning: Cleaning is the process by which operators remove non-medicinal parts from Codonopsis pilosula. Cleaning is carried out according to the cleaning section of the "Standard Operating Procedures for Cleaning". Impurities are removed and non-medicinal parts are eliminated so that the medicinal material meets the corresponding requirements. After passing the QA inspection, the medicinal material is placed in a clean transfer container and weighed for later use. In this application, QA refers to quality assurance.

[0052] Step 2, water washing: The cleaned Codonopsis pilosula is placed in washing tank 1 and washed in washing tank 1 to remove dust and mud from the non-medicinal parts of Codonopsis pilosula.

[0053] The Codonopsis pilosula placed in the cleaning tank 1 is rubbed and squeezed cleaned by the output motor 3. The output motor 3 drives the rotation of the rotating vertical rod 4, which in turn rotates the reciprocating screw 401 inside the rotating vertical rod 4, thus making the connected structure have the effect of reciprocating up and down. This drives the conical rubber groove block 1108 inside the spacer assembly 11 to move up and down, thereby achieving the effect of frequent water replacement in the cleaning tank 1. At the same time, the reciprocating screw 401 inside the rotating vertical rod 4 drives the first filter plate 6 to move up and down, and the rotation of the conversion assembly 13 causes the first filter plate 6 to rotate. This, combined with the rotation, squeezing and rubbing of the second filter plate 7, can achieve the effect of removing dust, mud and sand from the non-medicinal parts of the Codonopsis pilosula. After the cleaning is completed, all the liquid in the cleaning tank 1 is released, and deep purified drinking water is introduced for a final cleaning. After the cleaning is completed, the Codonopsis pilosula is taken out through the sealing door 17, which ends the water washing. QA inspection shows that the cleaned medicinal materials should be free of dust, mud, impurities and other non-medicinal parts, and then sent to the next process.

[0054] Step 3: Extraction. The washed Codonopsis pilosula is placed in an extraction tank with 5-7 times the volume of water. After boiling, hot reflux extraction is performed for 5 hours. After the hot reflux extraction is complete, heating in the extraction tank is stopped. The refluxed liquid is filtered through a 200-mesh stainless steel screen. The liquid is then transferred to a temporary storage tank for concentration. The concentration process involves transferring all the liquid into a concentrator and concentrating it to a specific gravity of 1.02–1. At 10:00, concentration should be stopped and the liquid should be transferred. The reflux during extraction should meet the following requirements: reflux temperature range of 60-80℃, vacuum degree range of -0.04MPa to -0.08MPa, steam pressure of extraction tank ≤0.3MPa, steam pressure of double-effect concentrator ≤0.2MPa. During extraction, the concentration temperature should be within the range of 60-80℃, vacuum degree range of -0.04MPa to -0.08MPa, and steam pressure range of ≤0.2MPa.

[0055] Step 4: Concentration. The fluid extract filtered through a 300-mesh bag is drawn into a spherical concentrator for vacuum concentration. The concentration temperature must be 60℃~80℃, the vacuum degree must be -0.04MPa~-0.08MPa, the steam pressure must be ≤0.27MPa, and the concentration must be carried out under reduced pressure until the specific gravity is 1.34. During the concentration process, the relative density must be ≥1.35 when measured at 80℃, which is the result of a thick paste.

[0056] Step 5: Collecting the paste. Collecting the paste involves connecting the thick paste through the pipeline to a cleaned and disinfected stainless steel container, sealing the container, filling out a material flow card, placing it on a stainless steel trolley and transferring it to the transfer room. The operator and the transfer manager weigh the paste together, fill in the weight on the material flow card and sign it. After the transfer manager verifies that there are no errors, the handover procedures are completed, and the material is transferred to the cold storage room and a pending inspection sign is hung.

[0057] When receiving the paste, the transfer manager fills out the "Production Inspection Request Form" except for the batch production quantity, and gives it to QA for sampling. After the paste is received and the sample is taken, the material is transferred to the transfer room for weighing, and the batch production quantity is filled in on the inspection request form. QA takes the inspection request form and the sample away together. Quality standard: This product is a brownish-brown thick paste with a fragrant aroma and sweet taste.

[0058] Step 6: Packaging. Packaging involves heating and stirring the Codonopsis pilosula extract at a speed of 18 Hz. The extract, placed in the mixing tank, is heated to 35-50°C and then transported to the packaging workshop for packaging.

[0059] During the repackaging process, the material handler needs to collect the composite film used in this batch according to the batch packaging instructions. After confirming that the Codonopsis pilosula paste is qualified, the material handler collects the Codonopsis pilosula paste for verification and recording. The workshop fills in the "Intermediate Product Production Instruction" and issues it to the production position.

[0060] Content requirements: This product contains no less than 16.0% inulin; theoretical fill weight: 10g / bag. Note: The bag weight should not be set at the lower limit; the average fill weight should be no less than 10g, and each bag should not be less than 95.0% of the labeled fill weight.

[0061] Packaging operation: Production operations shall be carried out in accordance with the "Standard Operating Procedures for Packaging of Pastes in Paste Workshop".

[0062] Installation: Operate the equipment according to the "Standard Operation and Maintenance Procedures for 6-column Liquid Packaging Machine" and the "Standard Operation and Maintenance Procedures for DXDY-300T Single-column Rounded Corner Back-Sealing Packaging Machine". The operator sets the product batch number and expiration date according to the batch packaging instructions, and performs a trial print on the composite film. The trial print sample bag is then verified by QA and the team leader before formal production can begin.

[0063] The retrieved Codonopsis pilosula extract was poured into the mixing tank, and the equipment was operated according to the "Standard Operating and Maintenance Procedures for the Mixing System". The Codonopsis pilosula extract was heated and stirred at a speed of 18 Hz, and the extract in the mixing tank was heated to 35-50℃. The extract was then transported through pipelines to the feeding hopper of the packaging machine for dispensing. The mixing tank and extraction tank in this device are existing mature technologies, and the mixing tank and extraction tank are only containers for storage and reaction in the whole process, and do not contribute much to the overall innovative effect. Therefore, this application will not elaborate on them further.

[0064] Trial run: Before starting the 6-line liquid packaging machine, adjust the heat sealing temperature of the equipment (horizontal seal 1 temperature: upper limit 260℃, lower limit 160℃; horizontal seal 2 temperature: upper limit 200℃, lower limit 100℃; vertical seal 1 to 6 temperatures: upper limit 260℃, lower limit 160℃, or depending on the quality of the pharmaceutical composite film). Dispensing speed: 180-360 bags / min.

[0065] DXDY-300T Single-Row Rounded Corner Back-Sealing Packaging Machine: Horizontal Sealing Temperature 1: 150℃-200℃, Horizontal Sealing Temperature 2: 100℃-120℃; Vertical Sealing Temperature: 145℃-170℃. Packaging Speed: 25-35 bags / min.

[0066] Start the trial run: Start the machine and run it empty for 1-2 minutes. Take 10 neatly sized empty bags produced during the trial run. Calculate the average weight of the empty bag, the weight of the material to be filled plus the weight of the empty bag, and the range of the single bag's capacity. Immediately fill in this information on the "Intermediate Product Production Instruction" form for this batch. Double verification and QA monitoring are required.

[0067] Adjust the filling weight of each bag to 10g / bag. Once the bag weight is within the control range, it enters the trial operation phase. During the trial operation, weigh the bags every 2 minutes, taking 12 bags sequentially and weighing them four times consecutively. If each bag's weight is within the control range and the packaging quality meets requirements, formal production can begin only after verification and signature confirmation by the responsible person and QA personnel. Any repackaged products with unqualified filling weight during the trial operation phase will be treated as waste and destroyed.

[0068] During formal production, operators weigh the bags approximately every 15 minutes, randomly selecting 5 bags each time. The average bag weight should be no less than (10g + average empty bag weight), and the lowest single bag weight should be no less than (9.5g + average empty bag weight). Operators should also continuously observe the heat sealing and printing, making timely adjustments to ensure accurate filling, tight heat sealing, and clear printing. Any discrepancies in filling weight during weighing should be treated as non-conforming products.

[0069] After the packaged materials are conveyed to the outsourcing room via conveyor belt, the outsourcing receiving personnel attach a material flow card with the product name, batch number, specifications, date, and weight filled in to each material turnover container. After all the packaging is completed, the packaging operators and the outsourcing team leader will calculate the weight together and record the equivalent number of 10,000 bags (total weight divided by the average weight of 10 bags of packaged products) in the record. The total quantity and yield will be calculated, and after verification, the materials will be inspected.

[0070] After each batch of production is completed, the operators shall promptly carry out various cleaning procedures in accordance with the "Standard Operating Procedures for Cleaning the Paste Packaging Process", "Clean Area Container Cleaning and Disinfection Procedures", "Standard Operating Procedures for Cleaning and Disinfection of Floor Drains", "Cleanliness Tool Management Standards", and "Cleanliness Management Standards". After the QA personnel check and sign, a cleanliness certificate shall be hung.

[0071] Step 7: Outsourcing. After the packaged materials are transported to the outsourcing room via conveyor belt, the outsourcing receiving personnel attach a material flow card with the product name, batch number, specifications, date, and weight filled in to each material turnover container. After all the packaging is completed, the packaging operators and the outsourcing team leader will calculate the weight together and record the total weight divided by the average weight of 10 bags of packaged products. The total quantity and yield will be calculated, and the outsourcing will be completed.

[0072] Outer packaging specifications: 10g / bag × 6 bags / box × 60 boxes / carton;

[0073] Packaging material requisition, management, and distribution: The materials clerk, based on the packaging production instructions, collects the batch of instruction manuals, small boxes, and other packaging materials, hands them over to the outsourcing team leader, keeps a requisition record, and stores the packaging materials in a designated cabinet or room. Small boxes and instruction manuals used for packaging should be stored in designated locations. Distribution records should be kept during packaging operations at the work station.

[0074] Batch Number Printing: The outsourced packaging department adjusts the box-making machine according to the production packaging instructions, printing the batch number, production date, and expiration date on a trial print. The trial print sample box is only allowed to begin normal printing after being verified and signed off by the supervisor and QA. Simultaneously, the trial print sample box is attached to the outer packaging record. During production, the batch number, production date, and expiration date on the small boxes must be checked regularly to ensure the text is clear and accurate. The printing roller on the carton is then adjusted, and the batch number, production date, and expiration date of the produced product are printed on the back of the record attachment page. After verification and confirmation by the supervisor and QA, this information is then printed on the outer packaging record before the official carton printing begins.

[0075] Packaging operations:

[0076] Production operations were carried out according to the "Standard Operating Procedures for Outer Packaging in the Paste Workshop." After confirming that the products to be packaged had passed inspection, packaging began. Each package was placed into a box according to the packaging instructions, along with one instruction leaflet. The barcode was scanned according to the "Standard Operating Procedures for the Drug Traceability Code Assignment System," and the product was then boxed. After the outsourcing team leader inspected and approved the product, a product certificate of conformity was attached. The boxes were then sealed and packaged with tape.

[0077] After packaging is completed, the number of instructions, cardboard boxes, product certificates, cartons, etc. used in this batch, the number of losses, and the remaining quantity should be balanced with the number issued. Remaining instructions, cardboard boxes, etc., should be returned to the warehouse. Damaged instructions and cardboard boxes should be counted by the workshop and destroyed under QA supervision.

[0078] Step 8: Warehousing. After confirming that the outsourced materials are correct, the packaged materials are transported to the warehouse for storage, thus concluding the production of Lu Dang Shen Paste.

[0079] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:

[0080] When the device is in use, Codonopsis pilosula is placed into the cleaning tank 1 through the sealing door 17. The Codonopsis pilosula placed in the cleaning tank 1 will be rubbed and squeezed cleaned by the output motor 3.

[0081] The output motor 3 drives the rotation of the rotating vertical rod 4, causing the reciprocating screw 401 inside the rotating vertical rod 4 to rotate, thus enabling the connected structure to reciprocate up and down. The reciprocating screw 401 on the upper side of the rotating vertical rod 4 can drive the moving sleeve 5 to reciprocate up and down. In this way, the first filter plate 6 on the moving sleeve 5 will move up and down. Furthermore, the transmission gear 1301 in the conversion assembly 13, through meshing with the moving gear plate 1303, can ensure the rotational nature of the transmission gear 1301 during the up and down movement. The rotation of the transmission gear 1301 can drive the screw rod 1304 to rotate, thus... The rotation of the screw rod 1304 will compress several arc plates 1402 on the fixed ring block 1401 through the spiral compression effect. This ensures that the first filter plate 6 under the fixed ring block 1401 rotates under the compression rotation of the screw rod 1304. The first filter plate 6 will generate a downward rotational force. The second filter plate 7 of the device is fixedly connected to the rotating vertical rod 4, which ensures the continuous rotation effect of the second filter plate 7. The compression rotation of the first filter plate 6 and the rotation of the second filter plate 7, together with the brush body 8, can squeeze and rub the Codonopsis pilosula in the cleaning tank 1 to ensure the cleaning quality of the Codonopsis pilosula.

[0082] During the rotation of the vertical rod 4, the conical rubber groove 1108 inside the spacer assembly 11 moves up and down, thereby ensuring frequent water replacement in the cleaning tank 1. The reciprocating screw 401 on the lower side of the vertical rod 4 rotates, causing the pulling hole block 1104 to move up and down. During the upward movement of the pulling hole block 1104, the damping spring 1109 slowly unfolds, ensuring that even when the pulling hole block 1104 begins to move, the conical rubber groove 1108 does not open instantaneously, guaranteeing thorough cleaning of the Codonopsis pilosula in the cleaning tank 1. When the pulling hole block 1104 moves upward, the moving block 1106 contacts the upper side of the inner wall of the fixed cylinder 1107. At this time, driven by the pulling hole block 1104, the conical rubber groove 1108 moves away from the L-shaped drain pipe 9, ensuring the discharge of wastewater from the cleaning tank 1. When water flows through the L-shaped drain pipe 9, the vane-type water flow switch 10 is activated, thus initiating water supply. The equipment delivers clean water into the cleaning tank 1 to ensure the circulation of water within the tank, thereby guaranteeing the cleaning quality of the Codonopsis pilosula. When the pull block 1104 is moved downwards, it compresses the damping spring 1109, causing the conical rubber groove block 1108 to re-engage with the L-shaped drain pipe 9, achieving a sealing effect. By rotating the reciprocating screw 401 inside the vertical rod 4, the first filter plate 6 moves up and down. Simultaneously, the rotation of the conversion component 13 causes the first filter plate 6 to rotate. This, combined with the rotation, compression, and rubbing of the second filter plate 7, achieves the effect of removing dust, mud, and sand from the non-medicinal parts of the Codonopsis pilosula. After cleaning, all the liquid in the cleaning tank 1 is released, and deep-purified drinking water is introduced for a final cleaning. After cleaning, the Codonopsis pilosula is removed through the sealing door 17. The innovative structures of the device, such as the vane-type water flow switch 10 and the connected water pump, are all existing mature technologies, and this device will not be described in detail.

[0083] The installation, connection, or setting methods disclosed in this embodiment are all common mechanical connection methods. Any method that can achieve its beneficial effect can be implemented. In addition, the electrical components in this embodiment are all electrically connected to the main controller and the power supply. The main controller can be a conventional known device such as a computer that plays a control role. Those skilled in the art can control the electrical components through simple programming. Moreover, the existing disclosed power connection technology is also common knowledge in the field. Therefore, the specific structural composition and working principle will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

After the cleaning is completed, all the liquid in the cleaning tank (1) is released, and deep purified drinking water is introduced for the last cleaning. After the cleaning is completed, the Codonopsis pilosula is taken out through the sealing door (17), thus ending the water washing. Step 3, extraction: The extraction involves putting the washed Codonopsis pilosula into an extraction tank, adding water at a volume of 5-7 times the amount of the herb, heating to boiling, and then starting a timer for hot reflux extraction for 5 hours. After the hot reflux extraction is completed, the heating of the extraction tank is stopped, and the liquid after hot reflux is filtered through a 200-mesh stainless steel screen. The liquid is then transferred to a temporary storage tank for temporary storage, awaiting concentration. Step 4: Concentration. The concentration involves drawing all the medicinal liquid into a concentrator and concentrating it until the specific gravity reaches 1.02 to 1.

10. Concentration is then stopped, and the liquid is transferred. The concentrated liquid is filtered through a 300-mesh bag, and the fluid extract is then drawn into a spherical concentrator for vacuum concentration. The concentration temperature must be 60℃ to 80℃, the vacuum degree must be -0.04MPa to -0.08MPa, the steam pressure must be ≤0.27MPa, and the liquid must be concentrated until the specific gravity reaches 1.

34. During the concentration process, the relative density must be ≥1.35 when measured at 80℃, thus forming a thick paste. Step 5: Collecting the paste. The paste collection involves connecting the thick paste through a pipeline to a cleaned and disinfected stainless steel bucket, sealing the bucket, filling out a material flow card, placing it on a stainless steel trolley and transferring it to the transfer room. The operator and the transfer manager weigh the paste together, fill in the weight on the material flow card and sign it. After the transfer manager verifies that there are no errors, the handover procedures are completed, and the material is transferred to the cold storage room and a pending inspection sign is hung. Step 6, Packaging: The packaging involves heating and stirring the Codonopsis pilosula extract at a speed of 18 Hz. The extract, placed in the mixing tank, is heated to 35-50°C and then transported through pipelines to the packaging workshop for packaging. Step 7: Outsourcing.
