What is Herbs Coarse Crusher?

The Herbs Coarse Crusher is a pre-processing machine for traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). It crushes various types of TCM raw materials, such as blocks and strips, into the desired particle size through high-speed blade or hammer impact, shearing, or extrusion. Its particle size is adjustable from 3-500 mesh. It is primarily used to reduce the volume of whole plants or blocks of TCM raw materials by breaking them into coarse particles or fragments, preparing them for subsequent fine grinding and extraction processes while preventing large pieces from clogging the equipment. The entire machine is constructed of stainless steel, and the crushing chamber is easy to clean, preventing contamination of the TCM. Depending on the application scenario and the type of TCM being crushed, the crushing capacity ranges from 0.1 to 5 tons/hour.

The Herbs Coarse Crusher can be used to crush different types of Chinese medicinal materials, including the fine processing of rhizomes such as ginseng and licorice, fruits such as wolfberry and hawthorn, and bark materials such as cinnamon. It can also be used for the efficient crushing of fibrous, heat-sensitive medicinal materials, or high-fat and high-viscosity Chinese medicinal materials, while ensuring that the active ingredients of the medicinal materials are not destroyed, thereby improving the solubility and bioavailability of the drugs.

What types of Herbs Coarse Crusher are there?

Herbs Coarse Crusher can be divided into three types normal temperature type with air cooling design, low temperature type with refrigeration system and high frequency vibration type, depending on the different properties of the crushed Chinese medicinal materials such as hardness, viscosity, water content, particle size and different crushing requirements.

Normal temperature Herbs Coarse Crusher (KFC series): Featuring an air-cooled design, it can crush Chinese medicinal herbs below 45°C, preventing the loss of heat-sensitive ingredients. It is suitable for most Chinese medicinal herbs, such as Pueraria lobata, Gastrodia elata, Ganoderma lucidum, and Hawthorn.

Low-temperature Herbs Coarse Crusher (JCWF series): Equipped with a built-in compressor cooling system or external liquid nitrogen cooling, it can reduce the crushing chamber temperature to -10°C to -60°C, ensuring that the medicinal properties are not lost during the crushing process. It is suitable for highly volatile and easily oxidized herbs, such as mint, angelica, and frankincense. It has a crushing particle size range of 20-400 mesh and a crushing capacity of 10-3000 kg/hour.

Vibration Herbs Coarse Crusher (WFS series): Uses high-frequency vibration impact force to crush Chinese medicinal materials, which can avoid the adhesion of Chinese medicinal materials caused by traditional grinding, and the crushed particle size is uniform. The crushing force can be adjusted by the vibration frequency to control the coarseness and fineness uniformity. The crushed particle size is 15-100 mesh and the crushing capacity is 10-1000 kg/hour. It is suitable for fibrous medicinal materials such as Houttuynia cordata and Isatis root, and brittle and easily brittle medicinal materials such as almonds, gypsum, and oysters.

What are the characteristics of Herbs Coarse Crusher?

The Herbs Coarse Crusher uses a gentle crushing method and a fully enclosed design to prevent high temperatures or excessive grinding from damaging heat-sensitive active ingredients such as volatile oils and alkaloids in traditional Chinese medicines. This maximizes the preservation of the original medicinal properties of the herbs and solves the problem of manual crushing or the loss of efficacy caused by ordinary crushers. Its crushing particle size is adjustable from 8-500 mesh, meeting the needs of crushing different types of Chinese herbal medicine raw materials, such as ultrafine powder and broken wall powder. Ultrafine crushing achieves a cell wall breaking rate of over 95% and increases the dissolution rate of active ingredients by 3-5 times, resulting in more significant efficacy at the same dosage. The use of serrated blades and a multi-stage crushing process ensures crushing efficiency and uniformity. It can be used to crush a variety of Chinese herbal medicines, including roots, fruits, and those with dense and brittle textures. Customized products are supported, including size, feed particle size, discharge material structure, and configuration.

What is the principle of Herbs Coarse Crusher?

When the Herbs Coarse Crusher is working, Chinese herbal medicines are put into the crushing chamber from the feed port. The motor drives the high-speed rotating rotor to drive the hammer head/toothed disc to generate impact and shear force, or the high-frequency vibration device generates impact force to crush the Chinese herbal medicines in the crushing chamber to the ideal particle size, and then discharge from the discharge port.

What are the applications of Herbs Coarse Crusher?

The Herbs Coarse Crusher can be used to crush various forms of Chinese medicinal materials, including rhizomes, leaves, fungi, fruits, high-value-added Chinese medicinal materials, and heat-sensitive materials, such as: Pueraria root, Gastrodia elata, ginseng, Chinese angelica, licorice, astragalus, liquorice, andrographis paniculata, houttuynia cordata, mint, dandelion, perilla leaf, Ganoderma lucidum, shiitake mushroom, hawthorn, gallnut, cordyceps sinensis, American ginseng, almond, wolfberry, Amomum villosum, lotus seeds, etc., laying the foundation for subsequent processing or decoction, extraction, and preparation of Chinese medicinal materials.

How to choose Herbs Coarse Crusher?

When selecting a Herbs Coarse Crusher, you must first determine the characteristics of the crushed Chinese medicinal materials, such as particle size, hardness, viscosity, moisture content, feed and discharge particle size requirements, hourly crushing capacity (10-5000 kg), and other requirements. Generally, for coarse crushing with 20-100 mesh, such as the primary processing of Chinese herbal medicine slices, the WFS series Herbs Coarse Crusher is recommended; for ultra-fine crushing with 100-500 mesh, such as broken wall powder and granular Chinese medicinal materials, the KFC series Coarse Crusher can be selected; for some high-end extracted Chinese medicinal materials, 500-2000 mesh nano-level crushing is required, and the JCWF low-temperature crusher is preferred.
