Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of alcohol precipitation tanks, in particular to an intelligent cyclone type alcohol precipitation tank. Background Art

[0002] Alcohol precipitation tanks are specialized equipment used for alcohol precipitation in industries such as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), oral liquids, and food and health supplements. They are also key equipment in the alcohol precipitation process. They are primarily used to improve the purity and clarity of TCM extracts, thereby enhancing product quality. Furthermore, alcohol precipitation tanks are also suitable for other industries, including pharmaceuticals, chemicals, food, health supplements, and dyes.

[0003] The working principle of the alcohol precipitation tank is based on sedimentation-type solid-liquid phase separation technology. In the production of traditional Chinese medicine, the Chinese medicine decoction concentrate is mixed with alcohol according to the process requirements, stirred to make the feed liquid evenly mixed, and then precipitated under low temperature or room temperature conditions. Non-alcohol-soluble impurities such as starch and protein will settle at the bottom of the tank, while the clear extract is located in the upper layer. After precipitation is completed, the supernatant is extracted through a specific liquid discharge device to achieve solid-liquid separation. However, since this separation method of alcohol precipitate requires long-term placement and sedimentation, the alcohol precipitation processing time becomes longer, which ultimately leads to an increase in production period and a decrease in output. At the same time, some extracts cannot be completely separated by a single alcohol precipitation, resulting in the final supernatant purified liquid still containing a small amount of impurities. At the same time, the discarded alcohol precipitation slurry also contains a certain amount of supernatant. In view of the above situation, the utility model provides an intelligent cyclone-type alcohol precipitation tank to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
