Medicinal herb recycling and dust removal equipment: safeguarding clean production and ensuring the quality of medicinal herbs

In the current booming development of the traditional Chinese medicine industry, the recycling and reprocessing of medicinal materials has become an important link in improving resource utilization and reducing production costs. However, during the recycling process of medicinal materials, such as screening, crushing, and drying, a large amount of dust is generated. These dust particles not only affect the production environment and endanger the health of workers, but may also be mixed with impurities, reducing the quality of medicinal materials. Therefore, choosing appropriate dust removal equipment has become the key to achieving efficient and clean production for medicinal material recycling enterprises.

Characteristics and dust removal challenges of medicinal herb recycling dust

The dust generated during the process of medicinal herb recycling has unique properties. Firstly, the composition of dust is complex, and in addition to the powder of medicinal herbs themselves, it may also contain impurities such as sediment and debris; Secondly, some medicinal dust has hygroscopicity, such as medicinal materials with high sugar content, which are prone to clumping in high humidity environments, leading to clogging of dust removal equipment; Furthermore, the dust from medicinal herbs is relatively small and easily suspended and dispersed in the air, making it difficult to capture; In addition, due to the high demand for hygiene and safety in the fields of pharmaceuticals and health products, it is necessary to avoid secondary pollution during the dust removal process to ensure the purity and quality of the recovered medicinal materials are not affected.

Selection of dust removal equipment and key points of system design

1. Analysis of dust characteristics: Before selecting dust removal equipment, it is necessary to conduct a detailed analysis of the composition, particle size distribution, humidity, moisture absorption, and other characteristics of the dust during the medicinal material recycling process, and choose the appropriate equipment type and configuration according to the actual situation. For example, for medicinal dust with strong moisture absorption, priority should be given to selecting dust removal equipment and filter materials with moisture-proof functions.

2. Hygiene and safety design: Given the strict requirements of medicinal herbs for hygiene and safety, dust removal equipment should use food grade or pharmaceutical grade materials to avoid contamination of medicinal herbs by equipment materials. The internal structure of the equipment should be designed for easy cleaning and disinfection, reducing dust residue and bacterial growth. At the same time, the sealing performance of the equipment should be good to prevent dust leakage into the production environment.

3. Explosion proof and safety design: Some medicinal dust may be flammable under certain conditions, and dust removal equipment should have explosion-proof design, such as using anti-static filter materials, installing explosion-proof devices, setting up anti-static grounding, etc., to prevent dust explosion accidents and ensure production safety.

4. Intelligent monitoring and maintenance: Introduce an intelligent monitoring system to monitor the operating parameters of dust removal equipment in real time, such as inlet and outlet pressure difference, air volume, dust cleaning status, etc. When the equipment malfunctions, the system can promptly sound an alarm and prompt maintenance measures, making it easier for enterprises to handle faults in a timely manner and ensure the stable operation of dust removal equipment. Regularly maintain the equipment, including cleaning dust, checking the condition of filter materials, lubricating components, etc., to extend the service life of the equipment.

The reasonable selection and application of dust removal equipment for medicinal material recycling is an important link in ensuring the quality of medicinal materials and achieving clean production. By understanding the characteristics of dust from medicinal herb recycling, selecting suitable dust removal equipment, and focusing on selection and system design points, enterprises can effectively solve the problem of dust pollution, improve the quality and safety of recycled medicinal herbs, occupy an advantageous position in the development of traditional Chinese medicine industry, and provide high-quality medicinal resources for the global health industry.
