Spherical concentrators are mainly suitable for the concentration, distillation, and reflux concentration extraction of thermosensitive materials in industries such as Chinese and Western medicine, starch sugar, dairy products, biopharmaceuticals, and chemical engineering. They can effectively reduce the damage to the effective components of thermosensitive materials. The contact parts between the spherical concentrator and the material are made of stainless steel material, which has good corrosion resistance and meets GMP safety and hygiene standards. The spherical concentrator is widely used in vacuum concentration crystallization, paste distillation, alcohol recovery, and other related fields such as traditional Chinese medicine and health products.
Operation process of spherical concentrator:
1. Before operating the spherical concentrator:
Before operation, check whether the equipment, valves, and instruments are normal, whether the pipelines are unobstructed, and whether there are leaks. Only when there are no abnormalities can the equipment be cleaned.
⑵ Check if the spherical concentrator tank is cleaned thoroughly.
⑶ Check
Spherical concentrator
Are all valves in the correct open and close positions. After retesting, it can only be operated and used.
2. Driving:
⑴ Open the vacuum valve;
⑵ Open the feeding valve for feeding, and close the feeding valve when the liquid is seen in the lower sight glass of the evaporator;
⑶ Turn on the condenser and circulating cooling water. Stabilize the water pressure at 0.1~0.2 MPa
Slowly open the steam valve. Heat up to the required pressure to circulate the heat of each evaporator in the spherical concentrator.
3. Normal operation:
(1) Adjust the opening degree of each feed valve and control the liquid level to maintain a certain height, so that the evaporation and replenishment of the liquid reach dynamic balance.
⑵ After evaporating for about 2 hours, open the exhaust valve of the distillation kettle jacket or open the bypass of the drain valve to discharge the non condensable gas.
⑶ The discharge of condensed water, evaporated condensed water is discharged once every 60-120 minutes. The discharge steps of the spherical concentrator are:
a、 Close the water valve; b、 Open the emptying valve to switch the water receiving tank from vacuum to emptying; c、 Open the drain valve and drain the condensed water; d、 After the condensate is drained, close the drain valve first, then close the exhaust valve, and open the water valve to ensure normal operation of the equipment.
4. Parking:
⑴ Close the steam valve and stop supplying steam;
⑵ Close the vacuum butterfly valve;
Open the exhaust valve of the evaporator to break the vacuum of the evaporator, and put down the concentrated paste;
Open the exhaust valve and drain valve to drain the condensed water;
⑸ Cleaning
