Abstract

Ginseng, herbal medicines and agricultural products are most effective to reproduce seasonal foods, but they are temporarily harvested and stored for a year, and consumed in various ways. In this case, the most effective storage of the active ingredients contained in these harvesting herbs or agricultural products may be a variety of methods such as drying or processing, but the best absorbed by the human body is in the form of liquid, that is, extract.

Commercially available distilled pressure tank type extractor is a device that needs to be refrigerated only by extracting the extract, and the concentrate that can be stored for a long time at room temperature should be in the form of a high viscosity concentrate. It must be equipped.

Therefore, the present invention has been developed to be used as a combined device for extracting low-cost small- and medium-sized Chinese medicine, agricultural products, mushrooms, aquatic products and the like, and low concentration.

Containing component extraction device, such as agricultural products, there is a shochu-type pressure tank type used in small businesses, there is a large extractor. For long-term storage and management of extracts, a concentrated type of concentrate concentrated at high viscosity is appropriate, and a concentration device is required. In general, the thickener is divided into low viscosity and high viscosity, and most of them are hundreds of millions of large expensive equipment. Therefore, these facilities can be owned or used only by specialized companies such as pharmaceutical companies or large food manufacturing plants. High-viscosity enrichment is a rapid progress of instantaneous concentration, so the moment that affects the quality of the product such as fragrance, concentration, and coal is short and requires highly skilled technical experts.

Recently, as the demand for well-being life is getting stronger, the demand for health food is increasing, and there are many inconveniences such as self-manufacturing, which takes a long time because it is not easy to process or consume the food materials.

The present invention is a combined extraction and low viscosity condensation apparatus that can be generally used in homes and small businesses can be used as a condenser in a small extraction tank of about 50L or less or before and after. It is an automatic device that can determine the amount of use according to the type of extractant and control the extraction temperature and time. The evaporation is concentrated by attaching evaporation pin to the outer circumference of extraction and extraction tank. The combined extraction and condensation unit has a small installation space and low time and cost, so that the general consumer can extract and concentrate all the health foods needed. Extraction is generally carried out for several hours to several tens of hours, so in the case of low viscosity concentration of the evaporation pin outside the extraction tank, it can be concentrated by circulating to the required viscosity level.

Extraction tank 4 is made of a stainless steel material suitable for the processing of food is produced in a cylindrical pressure vessel. The extraction tank 4 is manufactured and fixed with a frame 1 of sufficient height and a rigid material so that the height for discharging the final concentrate is maintained at the bottom, and the lower part of the frame attaches a cast 2 that is easy to move. The moving cast 2 is a part of the total quantity attached to the brake so as not to be moved arbitrarily during the extraction operation. The lower part of the extraction tank 4 is spherical so that there is no remaining liquid when the extraction liquid is discharged, and the discharge valve 17 is attached to the lowest position. An electric heater 16 is installed on the bottom of the extraction tank 4 so as not to cause inconvenience or damage to the extraction material storage box 13 when entering or exiting or cleaning. The upper part of the extraction tank (4) is equipped with a lid (6) with a pressure knob (5) and the pressure control valve (8) is installed so that there is no safety problem.

Along the outer wall circumference of the extraction tank 4, the evaporation pins 11 and 12 are continuously welded to two or more lines. The evaporation pins 11 and 12 may have various shapes such as an arc 41, an elbow, and a turnnel, and may have different welding angles as necessary. Evaporation pins (11, 12) are attached to the circumference more than one rotation and welded spirally so that the flow is maintained downward. The evaporation pins 11 and 12 are combined 13 according to the amount of evaporation in which the extract is reduced in one or more revolutions. In this way, the initial starting point of the evaporating fins (11, 12) is more than 2 trillion, but the outlet 14 of the final concentrate is collected in one place. Evaporation pins 11 and 12 are attached to the outer circumference of the extraction tank 4, and an external case 3 is installed on the outside for proper temperature maintenance and safety in the evaporation space. A separate blower 9 or fan may be attached to the outer case for smooth evaporation and condensation prevention in the evaporation space.

The extraction liquid extracted from the extraction tank 4 is sent to the external tank through the extraction liquid valve 17 and is concentrated to an appropriate viscosity while circulating the evaporating pins 11 and 12 by the concentrate circulation pump 21. The distribution pipes 23 and 24 of the concentrated liquid are piped according to the quantity of the evaporating pins 11 and 12, and the respective line valves are attached to adjust the flow rate according to the viscosity of the concentrated liquid.

Extraction and concentration vary depending on the extraction material, but the extraction work is performed at a high temperature near 100 ℃, so it is configured with a separate safety device and a controller (8) for automatic adjustment of the entire device is installed in a safe place from water or steam. Automate and attach convenience devices such as timers and counters.

The preference and demand for expensive ginseng products such as red ginseng products, medicinal mushrooms, herbal medicines, and agricultural supplements are rapidly increasing. Such agricultural products or herbal medicines are harvested during the autumn harvest and stored for one year until the next harvest, but can not be processed at home, such as decoction or concentration, processing in the local shop is only extraction. Therefore, it is easy to extract and concentrate processing at home or at nearby businesses by spreading the combined extraction and concentrating device beyond the limit of the existing extraction device, and it is possible to extract, take and concentrate the health food suitable for individual constitution and economic situation. It seems to be. Therefore, it is expected to contribute to the increase of national health by expanding the base of taking red ginseng, which is widely recognized around the world, and processing and purchasing opportunities for private foods suitable for various diseases and constitutions.
