Abstract

The present invention is a device for concentrating or making powdered sugar using a herbal medicine extractor that is used in traditional Korean medicine. This makes it possible to change formulations (refills, small doses, gel packaging, granules, tablets, capsules) using this device without special equipment or large investment costs.

This device is a device that uses the medicinal shaker used in traditional Korean medicine to dry or concentrate the melted liquid at low temperature in vacuum or powder (powder). Currently, vacuum freeze drying is used as a general drying method for foods (in this case, Chinese herbal medicines containing herbal medicine), which requires a certain level of equipment at the factory level, and the installation cost is tens of millions of won. It cannot be used in small businesses, such as general acupuncture clinic. The device is a design and structure for producing powder of melted liquid in a simpler, lower cost and more efficient way. Concentration of the liquid solution, that is, reducing the amount of liquid solution (3/10-2/10) or pressed powder, that is, can be prepared in pure powder without excipients by heating the liquid solution in a vacuum bath at a low temperature. In addition, the cylindrical drying tank sealed in vacuum is designed to be detachable to both sides after the powdering is completed, it is easy to collect the finished product.

This device is a cooling system (No. 4, 5, 6 in Fig. 1) including a drying bath for baths (Fig. 2) designed to be removed both up and down, ie up and down, and a cooling fan for cooling steam generated during drying. Reservoir tanks (No. 11 and 12) where cold water is collected, vacuum pump (No. 2) to control the reservoir and cooling system and drying tank in a vacuum state, and main controller (No. 1) to electrically control all these structures. It is a device that integrates all of these components into a box-shaped structure and connects them to the medicinal baths used in traditional Korean medicine and so on, and concentrates them into powder or powder.

As described above, this design has the following advantages.

First, design is as advanced as possible to eliminate unnecessary or complicated processes.

Secondly, high purity powder can be practically produced in a short time without loss of ingredients.

Third, drying tanks, water tanks, cooling fans, vacuum pumps, etc. are integrated, but the external shape is about the size of Kimchi refrigerator, which is very practical in terms of installation space.

Fourth, it is possible to supply a practical and inexpensive supply of the medicine bath currently used in the general oriental medicine

The advanced design enables small companies such as Korean medicine to produce concentrates and liquid powders (powders), enabling the rapid development of Korean medicine through general Korean medicine. Product production is also possible.

Concentration and powder manufacturing apparatus using a herbal extractor (medicine bath) to achieve the above object (light magic) is as follows.

First, a second cooling system (largeator 5 and cooling fan 7) that cools the steam generated by the herbal extractor, a reservoir (# 11) that collects the cooled steam, and a vacuum pump that maintains the reservoir and the drying tank under vacuum ( 2), the first cooling system (larger 4 and cooling fan 7) installed to maximize the vacuum pressure, and the controller (1) that controls all the systems such as the temperature and vacuum of the concentration tank are integrated into one body. Consists of.

The cooling system is located at the bottom of the unit by connecting several cooling fans and radiators in parallel to sufficiently cool the water vapor generated in the herbal extractor. The control box (No. 1) can always maintain a constant temperature in the vacuum device. Will be controlled. At the bottom, there is a reservoir where condensed water vapor is discharged and a small compressor is installed to quickly and easily drain the water in the reservoir. A steam generator (No. 6) is needed to saturate the interior of the drying tank so that the water in the drying tank can be easily vaporized.

Drying tank for powder production can be easily opened and closed by clamps on both sides (top and bottom), and the vacuum check tube (No. 16) made of PVC is attached to the lid (stopper) at the top of the drying tank for easy determination It is. As a result, when the vacuum is applied, the vacuum check tube can be broken to easily check whether the vacuum is present. In addition, the upper lid (No. 15) is made of high-strength transparent tempered glass, so it is convenient to check the state of powdering at any time with the naked eye. In addition, the body of the drying tank is made of stainless steel to withstand the vacuum pressure. The water tanks (10 and 11) are located under the cooling fan vacuum pump, that is, at the bottom of the device. It is possible to observe the quantity in the tank, and it has the capacity to accommodate more than the maximum quantity that can be discharged from the drying tank. The clear water in the reservoir (drain tank) is discharged with the vacuum released after the process is completed.

There are various differences depending on the type of food, density, and water content, so it is not possible to stipulate the time required for the preparation of liquid milk powder, but it is about 1,000 ~ 1,500cc per hour based on the general liquid medicine liquid. It takes about two and a half hours to three hours to produce a powder of ash.

The concentrated and vacuum powder production equipment using this water bath is for all products that need to be dried, that is, herbal medicine. It is a useful device that can be easily used by any company that handles black goats, infusions, and fruit juices.

A detailed description will be given below with reference to the drawings.

How to use

When concentrating herbal medicine

1. Put the liquid solution which you want to concentrate in the mixer and close the lid to seal it.

2. Turn on the switch of the mixer and turn it on. Turn on the switch of the control box (No. 1) and start concentrating at low temperature.

3. After a certain period of time (typically two and a half hours per ash, depending on the concentration and quantity of the liquid), the vacuum pump is deactivated and the heating of the bath is stopped. After confirming that the vacuum is released in the mixer, check the pressure gauge of the mixer and open the lid of the mixer to cool.

4. Connect the separate drying tank (Fig. 2) and the above concentrated powder device (tailing magic) to apply vacuum in the drying tank, and then disconnect the connection between the drying tank and tailing magic.

5. Connect the drying tank under vacuum and the drain pipe at the bottom of the shaker with a coupling to discharge the concentrated liquid concentrated inside the mixer under vacuum pressure. At this time, no matter how high the concentration of the concentrated substance, it is easily introduced into the drying tank like a vacuum cleaner.

6. Switch off the vacuum pressure in the drying tank and take the chemical liquid.

When making powder

1. Clean the inside of the mixer and fill it with water (approximately 1/2).

2. Connect the drying tank containing the concentrate from the above 5 with the tail light magic and place it in the center of the water bath containing the water. At this time, the drying tank is in a vacuum state.

3. Cover the lid of the mixer and turn on the heating switch of the mixer to heat the water to high temperature and bathe the drying tank. At this time, through the transparent tempered glass plate which is a lid on the drying tank, the state in which the powdering proceeds in the drying tank can be checked at any time.

4. Vaporized vaporized by indirect heating (bath) in the drying tank under vacuum passes through the second cooling system (largeator 5 and cooling fan) and the second reservoir which are not yet operated, and then the first cooling system (largeator 4). And a cooling fan) to be transferred to the first reservoir. At this time, if the temperature sensor installed in front of the first cooling unit (4, 7) detects a certain temperature (usually set to about 60 degrees Celsius), the solenoid valve starts to operate momentarily to transfer the line to the first cooling unit. Immediately shut off and at this time, the vacuum pump 17 also immediately stops automatic control, that is, operation. From this time, the second cooling device (radiator 5 and the cooling fan) is operated. The vacuum pump stops operating, but the vacuum pressure is maintained, and due to this system, the vacuum pressure rises from the initial vacuum pressure (60 cmHg) to the maximum pressure (70-73 cmHg), further accelerating powder production. The working time of the cycle can be minimized as much as possible. The reason for installing the first reservoir and the first cooling device is a safety device for preventing the vacuum pump from failing due to the water vapor flowing back to the vacuum pump.

5. The powder is usually completed in 3 hours (per ash), and may be inferred if it is not hot by touching the transfer pipe connected to the drying tank and the concentrated powder system. The lack of hot vaporizing steam means that the powder is complete and there is no more water vapor to be transported, ie the powder is complete.

6. When powder production is complete, take out the drying tank to release the vacuum, disengage the upper and lower lids (the upper lid can be removed immediately when the vacuum is released, and the lower cap can be removed by removing the clamp) and the solidification inside the drying tank. The powder lump can be collected and pulverized appropriately. This completes one cycle of the manufacturing process.

7. If there is not much liquid (about 6,000cc or less), it can be concentrated and powdered at once by putting the liquid solution into the drying tank without going through the concentration process.
