- Key Advantages of Ultrasonic Extraction (Key Selling Points)
- High extraction rate: Ultrasonic disruption of cell walls releases more active ingredients, increasing the yield by more than 30% compared to traditional methods, thereby making full use of authentic medicinal plant resources from western China and enhancing the company’s economic benefits.
- Short time: Extraction time has been significantly reduced, from the traditional 2–4 hours per batch to 30–60 minutes per batch, resulting in a significant increase in production efficiency and a reduction in energy consumption per unit of product.
- Low temperature: Extraction can be performed at room temperature, making it particularly suitable for heat-sensitive ingredients, as it prevents the degradation of active ingredients and enhances product quality and value.
- Solvent-Free: Thorough cell lysis allows for faster solvent penetration, reduces the amount of solvent needed, lowers production costs, and alleviates environmental pressure.
- Low in impurities: The extraction is more selective, the extract contains fewer impurities, and subsequent purification is easier, thereby reducing purification costs.
- Western Localization Services (Core Competitive Advantage)
Leveraging its manufacturing base in Chongqing, Heigu Tianfu specializes in serving traditional Chinese medicine enterprises in western China. By taking into account the characteristics of authentic medicinal materials from the western region, the company provides customized processes and services. Consultation Hotline: 19562136132.

- Western Region Product Selection Guide (Free Consultation)
Heigu Tianfu’s professional engineers provide free guidance on equipment selection and recommend suitable equipment based on the characteristics of the herbal materials, processing capacity, and compliance requirements. Consultation hotline: 19562136132.
- Understand the Characteristics of Herbal Materials: Different herbal materials have different requirements for ultrasonic frequency and power; it is recommended to conduct a small-scale trial first to optimize the extraction parameters.
- Determine the processing capacity: Calculate the required volume based on the daily processing capacity, allowing for future expansion to avoid duplicate investments.
- Consider the ultrasonic distribution: Both the tank-wall patch-type and tank-bottom vibrating plate-type configurations have their respective advantages and disadvantages; select the appropriate one based on the material characteristics to ensure uniform extraction.
- Consider the method of residue removal: Traditional Chinese medicine extraction produces large amounts of residue; a quick-opening bottom cover or pneumatic residue removal system can significantly reduce labor requirements and improve efficiency.
- CIP Cleaning Requirements: If used in a GMP facility, a CIP cleaning system must be installed to ensure compliance with cleanliness requirements.
- Choose local suppliers: Give priority to manufacturers with local service teams to reduce shipping costs, shorten response times, and lower after-sales service costs.
