Spherical essential oil extraction and separation device

Spherical essential oil extraction and separation device

1、 Product Overview：
  Spherical essential oil extraction and separation deviceCompared with traditional cylindrical vacuum concentration tanks, spherical vacuum concentration devices have a series of significant characteristics due to their unique spherical structure, especially suitable for specific process requirements.

It mainly consists of five parts: the main body of the concentration tank, the gas-liquid separator, the condenser, the liquid receiving tank, and the stirring device. It can be used in industries such as pharmaceuticals, food, and chemical industry for the concentration, distillation, and recovery of organic solvents of liquid materials. Due to the use of vacuum concentration, the concentration time is short and the effective components of heat sensitive materials will not be damaged. The parts of this equipment that come into contact with materials areOCr18Ni9Stainless steel has good corrosion resistance, durability, and meets the requirements of pharmaceutical hygiene.

2、 Main structural features

1. Spherical container

Uniform force distribution: able to withstand higher vacuum levels, the equipment operates more stably and safely under deep vacuum, and is less prone to instability and deformation.

● No dead corners structure: The spherical inner wall is smooth and flowing, without the corners of traditional rectangular or cylindrical tanks. This makes the material flow smoothly during mixing, greatly reducing the phenomenon of material adhesion, wall hanging, and coking.

● Surface area/Volume ratio optimization: Although the heating area may need to be supplemented by built-in coils or jackets, its smooth inner surface is very conducive to forming a uniform liquid film.

2. Special heating system

In order to adapt to the spherical structure, the heating method is usually:

Spherical jacket heating: The entire sphere or the lower half of the sphere is made into a jacket structure, and steam or thermal oil is introduced for uniform heating.

Built in serpentine coil heating: Install spiral heating coils inside the sphere to increase the heat transfer area.

3. Mixing system

Spherical tanks are usually equipped with efficient agitators, such as anchor, frame, or scraper agitators. The shape of these stirrers will be as close as possible to the inner wall of the sphere.Scraper mixerIt is a major highlight of the spherical concentration tank. The scraper on the mixer can continuously scrape the inner wall or heating coil surface during rotation, forcing the renewal of the liquid film. This is crucial for handling materials with high viscosity, easy scaling, and easy crystallization, greatly improving heat transfer efficiency and preventing material coking.

3、 Main application areas

The spherical vacuum concentration device, with its unique advantages, performs outstandingly in the following fields:

● Pharmaceutical industry

Chinese herbal extract: high viscosity, easy to coking, spherical concentration tank is one of the first choices.

Western medicine syrup and extract: Ensure the stability of active ingredients and prevent local damage.

● Food industry

Concentrate high viscosity products such as jam, honey, chocolate, etc.

Preparation of high-end seasoning sauce.

● Chemical industry

Concentrate polymer solutions, resins, and adhesives.

Post processing of high viscosity fine chemicals.

● Biotechnology

Mild concentration of thermosensitive biological products such as enzyme preparations and fermentation broths.
