What is Herbs Coarse Crusher?
Herbs Coarse Crusher is an ultra-fine crushing equipment designed for Chinese herbal medicine processing. It is suitable for the fine processing of various Chinese herbal medicines such as roots, stems, leaves, flowers, and fruits. Whether it is fiber, heat-sensitive medicinal materials, or high-fat, high-viscosity materials, our equipment can crush them efficiently to ensure that the effective ingredients of the medicinal materials are not destroyed, while improving the solubility and bioavailability of the drugs.
What types of Herbs Coarse Crusher are there?
According to the crushing requirements and production capacity, Herbs Coarse Crusher can be divided into normal temperature, low temperature and vibration types:
Normal temperature Herbs Coarse Crusher (KFC series): It adopts air-cooling design, the crushing temperature is <45℃, which avoids the loss of heat-sensitive components. It is suitable for most Chinese herbal medicines, such as Pueraria, Gastrodia, Ganoderma lucidum, Hawthorn, etc.
Low-temperature Herbs Coarse Crusher (JCWF series): equipped with a refrigeration system, the crushing temperature can be as low as -40℃ to ensure that the efficacy is not lost. It is suitable for highly volatile and easily oxidized medicinal materials (such as mint, angelica, and frankincense).
Vibration Herbs Coarse Crusher (WFS series): adopts high-frequency vibration crushing to avoid material adhesion caused by traditional grinding. It is suitable for fibrous medicinal materials (such as houttuynia cordata and isatis root).
What are the characteristics of Herbs Coarse Crusher?
Ultrafine crushing: The particle size is adjustable from 8 to 2000 mesh to meet the needs of different preparations (such as ultrafine powder and broken wall powder).
Fiber processing capacity: For high-fiber herbs (such as mulberry branches and straw), serrated blades and multi-stage crushing processes are used to ensure crushing efficiency and uniformity.
Volatile component protection: Low-temperature crushing and fully enclosed design reduce the loss of volatile oils. For example, the retention rate of menthol is increased by 40% compared with traditional processes.
Broken cell wall and enhanced efficacy: Ultrafine grinding makes the cell wall breaking rate of medicinal materials exceed 95%, and the dissolution rate of effective ingredients is increased by 3-5 times, and the efficacy is more significant at the same dose.
What is the principle of Herbs Coarse Crusher?
The working principle of Herbs Coarse Crusher revolves around a hammer - type crushing chamber equipped with wear - resistant manganese steel hammers. When herbal materials like tough roots (e.g., Panax notoginseng, Gastrodia elata) or large - sized stems enter the chamber, the high - speed rotating hammers strike and impact the materials against the liner plates, breaking them into smaller particles. An adjustable screen at the bottom of the chamber filters the crushed herbs, allowing particles of 3 - 10mm to pass through while retaining larger pieces for further crushing. This mechanism ensures continuous coarse crushing with controlled particle size, ideal for preprocessing hard herbal roots and agricultural biomass. The hammer design and screen adjustment enable efficient processing of up to 5 tons/hour, balancing productivity and particle uniformity for subsequent manufacturing steps.
