Custom Manufacturer of Extraction Tanks: Application Advantages of Low-Temperature Extraction Equipment and Extraction Technology.
Low-temperature extraction equipment is now widely used in the extraction of vegetable oils, as well as in the extraction of edible oils. Currently, hexane solvent is predominantly used for extracting edible oils, with soybean oil being a typical example. Manufacturers of low-temperature extraction equipment have introduced the application of subcritical propane and butane extraction processes, which not only ensure that heat-sensitive components in the extracted oil remain intact but also preserve the integrity of plant proteins and other valuable constituents in the oilseed meal, thereby maximizing the value of the final products.
The low-temperature extraction technology introduced by the manufacturer of low-temperature extraction equipment primarily addresses the issues inherent in traditional extraction techniques, such as high temperatures, spoilage of extraction solvents, excessive impurities, significant loss of valuable components, large solvent consumption, and high concentration costs. This has enabled innovative applications of subcritical fluid extraction products.
In the countercurrent solvent extraction of oilseed meal, the solvent is first extracted from the oilseed meal-solvent mixture, and then the solvent is evaporated under reduced pressure from the resulting oilmeal slurry, turning it into a liquid again upon pressurization. Low-temperature extraction technology primarily addresses the issues inherent in conventional extraction methods, such as high extraction temperatures, spoilage of the extract, excessive impurities, significant loss of valuable components, large solvent consumption, and high concentration costs. At the same time, low-temperature extraction technology transforms the traditional static percolation process into a dynamic percolation mode. Due to the dynamic extraction of the drug, a high concentration gradient is established between the drug and the solvent, which enhances the leaching driving force and increases the yield of the extract—by 5% to 20% compared to conventional methods. This approach also leads to substantial solvent savings. A closed-loop system can achieve savings of 30% to 50%. Moreover, it significantly reduces extraction time: the extraction and concentration processes can be completed in a single step, with a reflux ratio that is twice as high as in conventional reflux systems, and the entire process takes only 4 to 6 hours.
Custom Manufacturer of Extraction Tanks: Introducing Equipment Required for Plant Extraction
With the advancement of modern science and technology and the gradual rise in people’s living standards, both the variety and quantity of plant extracts have increased. Manufacturers of complete sets of plant-extraction equipment have observed that when purchasing food and cosmetics, consumers often prioritize products that are purely plant-derived and free from harmful chemicals! Consequently, in an increasing number of industries—such as the cosmetics industry—pure plant extracts and the absence of additives have become key selling points.
Introduction to manufacturers of plant extraction equipment: Plant extracts are products obtained by physically and chemically extracting and separating specific active ingredients from plants through targeted processes, without altering the structure of these active components, and then concentrating them. Depending on their chemical composition, plant extracts can be categorized into groups such as glycosides, acids, polyphenols, polysaccharides, terpenes, flavonoids, and alkaloids. Based on product characteristics, they can further be classified into categories including vegetable oils, extracts, powders, and capsules. These extracts find applications in a wide range of fields, including pharmaceutical raw materials, health supplements, nutritional supplements, food additives, and cosmetics.
So, how can we effectively separate plant extracts that are both market-friendly and highly regarded by consumers, ensuring product quality? What kinds of plant extraction equipment are available for this purpose? And how do we operate them? Here, a manufacturer of plant extraction equipment introduces some commonly used devices: tubular centrifuges, disc-stack centrifuges, and horizontal screw centrifuges. The underlying principle behind these machines is the use of the centrifugal force generated by the high-speed rotation of the equipment’s drum to separate components within the material that differ in specific gravity. Depending on the type of product being processed, such equipment can be categorized into clarifying, filtering, and sedimentation units. In terms of functionality, they can be further divided into semi-automatic and fully automatic models; they may feature continuous or batch operation modes; and they can perform functions such as clarification, separation, and classification.
That’s all for today’s introduction to custom extraction tank manufacturers. Thank you for watching!
