[0031] Example 2:

[0032] Please see Figure 1-5 This embodiment provides a technical solution based on embodiment one: the liquid inlet assembly 6 includes a liquid storage tank 61.

[0034] Furthermore, any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.

[0035] During operation, the extract first enters the storage tank 9. The PLC controller uses a vacuum pump via the suction pipe 14 to reduce the pressure inside the storage tank 9. The purpose of the drive assembly 2 is to facilitate the adjustment of the wire feeding rate. When the drive assembly 2 is working, the PLC controller starts the servo motor 21, which drives the drive gear 23 to rotate via the rotating shaft 22. The drive gear 23 drives the driven gear 12 to rotate, which in turn drives the hollow shaft 3 to rotate the rotating roller 4. The rotating roller 4 rotates continuously, increasing the evaporation area and evaporation capacity, forming a thin film evaporation. The servo motor 21 is equipped with a high-precision encoder, which can accurately feedback the rotor position, achieving precise position and speed control, and facilitating the adjustment of the rotating roller 4's speed. At the same time, the liquid inlet assembly 6 is working, and the PLC controller starts the electric heating wire inside the heating plate 62 to heat the water source. The PLC controller also starts the first water pump 63 to pump the liquid from the storage tank 61. Hot water is fed into the hollow shaft 3 and outer cylinder 10 through the outlet pipe. The hot water inside the outer cylinder 10 heats the storage tank 9, maintaining the required evaporation temperature of the extract. The hot water entering the hollow shaft 3 enters the rotating roller 4, where the material contacts the surface of the rotating roller 4 and evaporates. This process enables continuous feeding of raw materials and continuous output of concentrated liquid under vacuum conditions, greatly preserving the effective active ingredients of dragon fruit anthocyanins. Simultaneously, the recovery component 7 operates, and the PLC controller starts the second water pump 72 to send out the water obtained from the rotating roller 4 and outer cylinder 10 after heat exchange. The water is then circulated through the third water pump 8. The storage tank 9 is equipped with pressure and temperature sensors, allowing the PLC controller to adjust according to the sensor output signals. The connecting component 5 keeps the pipeline fixed when the hollow shaft 3 rotates, while simultaneously enabling continuous hot water intake and discharge, ensuring uninterrupted heating circulation.
