At last, according to demand, send into concentrated medicament among the secondary concentration equipment F or spray among the thing drying equipment G and do respective handling the final finished material.
After entering secondary concentration equipment F, heating feed tank f1 starts agitating device f11 concentrated medicament is stirred to add the concentrated medicament of thermmal storage; Open condenser f5, start vacuum extractor f6 and begin evacuation, the absolute pressure that is evacuated in the vacuum evaporation cylinder f3 also keeps at 10600Pa.With solution feed pump f7 concentrated medicament is delivered into pre-heater f8, the while infeeds steam to vacuum evaporator f3's with pre-heater f8, and steam is along medicinal liquid mobile reverse feeding in pre-heater f8 and heater f2.Medicinal liquid falls into vacuum evaporator f3 after being vaporized in heater f2, cooling and condense into the thick paste shape in the process that the medicinal liquid of vaporization descends in vaporizer f3.The residue vapor of separating in the vacuum evaporator f3 enters carries out vapor-liquid separation in the vapour liquid separator f4, steam reclaims after stram condenser f5 condensation.In concentration process, to be controlled at about 60 ℃ by the fluid temperature that feed tank comes out to enter before the pre-heater f8, fluid temperature after the pre-heater heating is controlled at about 85 ℃, the fluid temperature of heater via f2 heating back vaporization is controlled at about 115 ℃, absolute pressure in the control vacuum evaporator f3 is at 10600Pa, temperature is about 70 ℃, and steam pressure is 0.25MPa.Thick paste shape finished product material after concentrating imports receiving vessel from outlet f10.Open vacuum-breaking valve f9, eliminate vacuum.
After entering spray drying device G, feed tank g1 is to add thermmal storage concentrated medicament wherein in heating, starts the agitating device g6 in the feed tank simultaneously, and running quantitative liquid feeding pump g2 makes concentrated medicament at closed circuit g10 internal recycle, to the concentrated medicament processing that homogenizes.Confirm steam and compressed-air actuated pressure, open the chiller of aerosol apparatus g4 and adjust the rotating speed of centrifugal atomizer g4, adjust the liquid supply rate of quantitative liquid feeding pump g2, below cyclone separator g5, g18, place dry finished product material receptor, set the control temperature of each workshop section, the general temperature of setting in the feed tank g1 is 60~90 ℃, and the hot air temperature that enters spray drying tower g3 is 150~160 ℃, and the temperature in the first order cyclone separator g5 is 80~100 ℃.The attachment that starts in centrifugal atomizer g4, the spray drying tower g3 is swept dropping control device g7, compressed air is fed attachment sweep winding-up pipe on the dropping control device g7, running air draft blower fan g15 and breeze fan g16, air filters through just imitating air filter g11, enter steam-heated air heater g12, after passing through electrically heated air heater g13 again, after filtering, accurate air filter g14 enters centrifugal atomizer g4 by hot-blast pipe line g8.When the concentrated medicament among the feed tank g1 homogenize handle reach requirement after, when the temperature in the first order cyclone separator g5 reaches setting value, opens solenoid valve g17, the liquor charging of quantitative liquid feeding pump g2 changes, medicinal liquid is carried by quantitative liquid feeding pump g2 and enter centrifugal atomizer g4 behind heating apparatus g9, the atomizer of high speed rotating becomes medical liquid atomizing the fine droplet of 50~100 μ m, this moment, droplet fully mixed in the spray dryer tower body with the hot-air of coming from accurate air filter g14, because droplet generally all is controlled between 50~100 μ m, so the surface area that the drop of per unit weight contacts with dry-heat air is very big, and the efficient of dry run is very high.A small amount of dried particles attached to spray drying tower g3 inwall is arranged, sweep dropping control device g7 by attachment and sweep.Dried solid product is transported to primary cyclone g5 with wind-force, fall in the finished product material receiving vessel by the product after the cyclone separator separation, receive 92%~95% finished product approximately, the wind that other is mixed with a small amount of dry products enters separation once more in the secondary cyclone g18 again, product after the separation falls in the finished product receiving vessel, can receive 92%~95% in the surplus products approximately.Last gas is drained by discharge duct.When the production of last batch of concentrated medicament is finished, stop agitating device g6, when liquid level drops to pot liquid and almost do not have, add low amounts of water as the washings in the pipe arrangement.
After whole Chinese medicine preparation process is finished, start rinser, the pipeline that each tank body and medicinal liquid are flowed through cleans.
