Ultrasonic extraction technology, also known as ultrasonic extraction, is gaining increasing favor among innovators due to its significant advantages of low extraction temperature, high extraction yield, and short extraction time. This technology is widely used to extract active ingredients from traditional Chinese medicines and various plant and animal sources, becoming a modern alternative to traditional shearing processes, achieving efficient, energy-saving, and environmentally friendly extraction.

How Ultrasonic Works？

The essence of ultrasonic extraction lies in its unique effects, such as cavitation. The mechanical effects of ultrasound significantly increase the molecular speed of the medium, enhancing penetration and effectively extracting the chemical components of the medicinal product. Simultaneously, the cavitation effect causes microbubbles in the medium to vibrate and resonate under the influence of ultrasound. The resulting closure creates micro-shock waves that instantly rupture plant cell walls and biological structures, further promoting the release of active ingredients. Furthermore, the thermal effects of ultrasound also contribute to the extraction process. Highly Efficient, Energy-Saving, and Environmentally.

Friendly Features

1. Efficient Extraction: The unique physical properties of ultrasound can promote the disruption or deformation of plant cell tissue, resulting in more complete extraction of active ingredients from traditional Chinese medicines. Compared to traditional processes, the extraction rate is significantly increased by 50-500%.
2. Shortened Extraction Time: Ultrasound-enhanced extraction of traditional Chinese medicines typically achieves optimal extraction efficiency in just 24-40 minutes, significantly shortening the extraction time compared to traditional methods and increasing efficiency by more than two-thirds.
3. Low-Temperature Extraction: The optimal temperature range for ultrasonic extraction of traditional Chinese medicines is 40-60°C. This temperature range effectively protects active ingredients in heat-labile, easily hydrolyzed, or oxidized herbs, while also significantly saving energy.
4. Widely Adaptable: Ultrasonic extraction of traditional Chinese medicines is not limited by polarity or molecular weight, making it suitable for the extraction of most types of traditional Chinese medicines and various ingredients.
5. Low Impurities and Easier Separation and Purification: The traditional Chinese medicine solution obtained through ultrasonic extraction contains few impurities, making the active ingredients easy to separate and purify in subsequent processes. 6. Reduced Operating Costs: Ultrasonic extraction processes have relatively low operating costs and can significantly improve overall economic benefits.
7. Simple Operation and Maintenance: Ultrasonic extraction equipment is easy to operate and maintain.
