A collection tank 5 is detachably connected to the bottom end of the discharge pipe 4. A control valve 6 is installed on the discharge pipe 4.
[0023] The gas heating system 2 includes a heating box 201, which is located on the left side of the drying tower 1. A heat exchange tube 202 is installed inside the heating box 201. The left end of the heat exchange tube 202 passes through and extends to the left side of the heating box 201, and the right end of the heat exchange tube 202 passes through the heating box 201 and extends into the interior of the drying tower 1.

[0027] The top end of the drying tower 1 is connected with an exhaust pipe 15, and the other end of the exhaust pipe 15 is sequentially connected with a condensing pipe 16 and a cyclone separator 17.
[0028] When the decolorization and drying operation of caspofungin needs to be performed, the user first fills inert gas into the heat exchange pipe 202 of the gas heating system 2, and then starts the electric heating wire 8 in the heating box 201, so that the electric heating wire 8 generates heat, and since the electric heating wire 8 is sleeved on the heat exchange pipe 202 in a continuous bending state, the inert gas in the pipe can be fully heated, and the temperature cut-off valve 14 can monitor and control the temperature of the heated gas, so that the temperature of the gas reaches a suitable drying temperature.
