Powder Grinding Mixing Solution for Chinese Herbal Medicine
Common Chinese Herbal Medicine:
| Type | Common Chinese Herbal Medicine | Physical Properties | Crushing Difficulties |
| Roots and Rhizomes | Astragalus Root, Licorice Root, Ginseng, Chinese Angelica Root, Salvia Root | High hardness and strong fibrous nature | Prone to heat generation during grinding. The challenge lies in efficiently breaking down the fibrous structure while preventing equipment from overheating. |
| Herbs and Leaves | Peppermint, Patchouli, Dandelion, Mugwort Leaf | Lightweight, fluffy, and buoyant | The primary challenges are dust control and, for herbs containing volatile components (e.g., Peppermint), preventing the loss of these components due to high temperatures. |
| Fruits and Seeds | Goji Berry, Schisandra Berry, Cassia Seed, Sea Buckthorn Berry | High sugar or oil content, with toughness/pliability | The difficulty in grinding stems from their tendency to adhere, agglomerate, and clog the sieve mesh. |
| Flowers | Honeysuckle Flower, Chrysanthemum, Safflower, Clove | Brittle/friable and lightweight | The challenge is to preserve the floral structure from excessive damage while simultaneously minimizing dust and the loss of active ingredients. |
| Fungi and Spores | Poria Mushroom, Reishi Spore | Sclerotia are hard in texture; spores have a minute particle siz | The grinding difficulty lies in breaking the cell walls (for spores) to release the active ingredients, which requires specialized ultra-micro grinding technology. |
Why are Chinese herbal medicines pulverized?
Chinese herbal medicine powders increase their surface area, maximizing the dissolution and bioavailability of active ingredients, thereby enhancing their efficacy. They also facilitate preparation, administration, and storage.
1. Improving bioavailability and increasing surface area accelerates the dissolution of active ingredients, enhancing their efficacy.
2. Powders have a wide range of uses; they can be used in tablets, capsules, granules, and other formulations.
3. They facilitate the extraction of active ingredients, conserve medicinal materials, and improve efficiency.
4. The reduced volume of pulverized medicinal materials makes them easier to package, transport, and store.
Powder Crushing Solutions:
1. Coarse Crusher (mesh size: 0.5-20mm)
MR series coarse crusher before fine crushing process in such trade as pharmaceutical, chemical and foodstuff etc. which has better crushing effect for any material without limitation on its viscosity, hardness, softness and fiber etc.
2. Universal Crusher (mesh size: 12-120 mesh)
MR series universal crusher makes use of the high-speed relative movement of the movable fluted disc and the fixed fluted disc to crush the materials through the comprehensive effect of striking and friction of the fluted disc as well as the mutual striking of the materials.
3. Mini-Efficient Pulverizer (mesh size: 60-320 mesh)
MR series mini-efficient pulverizer (air classifying mill) is made up of three parts: main machine, auxiliary machine and electric control box. The mini-efficient pulverizer has the properties of wind selection, having no sieve or net, and an even granularity of the processed material.
Powder Mixing Solutions:
1. Ribbon Blender (Volume: 300-30000L)
MR series ribbon mixer is mainly comprised of mixing barrel , spiral ribbon and driven parts. The spiral ribbon is made of two layers. That is, the inner ribbon makes the material move outwards, while the external ribbon makes the material move inwards which forms a good circulation of material. Ribbon moves so circumferentially that the mixer could achieve fine mixing efficiency in a very short time.
2. Horizontal Plough Mixer (Volume: 200-10000L)
MR series horizontal plough mixer keeps material onflow. Because of high speed and shapes of plough agitator, centrifugal vortex action, Material in plough mixer makes three-dimension movement and is mixed together.
