Vacuum Low-Temperature Liquid Extraction & Concentration Unit

Integrated 3-in-1 System | Pharmaceutical Grade 304/316 SS | Precision Pilot Scale


This specialized liquid extraction equipment is engineered specifically to protect the bioactive integrity of sensitive compounds. Unlike traditional high-temperature decoction methods that may degrade pharmaceutical efficacy, this system utilizes high-vacuum technology to create a vacuum evaporator environment. By enabling boiling at low temperatures (70°C – 100°C), the unit integrates boiling, low-temperature extraction, and liquid concentration into a single, user-friendly system. It is the premier choice for university research, TCM hospitals, and customized herbal paste centers requiring rigorous potency standards.

Vacuum Low-Temperature Liquid Extraction & Concentration Unit

Core Value Propositions


  • Protection of Active Compounds: Boiling points are controllable at 70°C-100°C for water extraction and 70°C-80°C for alcohol extraction, effectively locking in biological activity and preventing efficacy loss.

Solutions to Critical Technical Challenges


  1. Preventing Potency Loss: Traditional boiling often deactivates enzymes and volatile oils; this Low-Temperature vacuum evaporator completes extraction at low temperatures to ensure component stability.
  2. Enhancing Extraction Efficiency: Vigorous boiling under negative pressure creates a natural stirring effect, accelerating solute exchange and outperforming static extraction methods.
  3. Simplifying Complex Operations: The integrated design allows for precise boiling point adjustments, bridging the gap between independent boiling and concentration stages.
  4. Optimizing Limited Lab Space: Designed with a compact footprint to meet the requirements of small-scale, high-performance production in tight laboratory environments.
  5. Ensuring Hygiene & Compliance: The fully enclosed negative pressure system prevents component evaporation and external contamination, fully complying with food and drug hygiene standards.

Operating Principle


The unit achieves low-temperature processing through scientific vacuum pressure management:

  1. Feeding & Heating: Crushed raw materials and solvents are added to the tank and heated gently via a thermal oil jacket.
  2. Negative Pressure Boiling: The vacuum pump creates a negative pressure environment where the liquid begins to boil at approximately 70°C, accelerating the dissolution of active ingredients.
  3. Cyclic Concentration: The extract enters the evaporator system. Under vacuum, the secondary steam is condensed and returned through a reflux pipe, achieving rapid dehydration while maintaining pressure balance to produce high-density fluid extracts (specific gravity 1.1-1.25).

Frequently Asked Questions


Answer: The Liquid Extraction & Concentration Unit is specifically engineered to combine two complex chemical processes into a single, high-efficiency workflow. By integrating the extraction and evaporation phases, PCM eliminates the traditional “transfer loss” that occurs when moving raw extracts between separate vessels. This closed-loop configuration prevents exposure to external contaminants and reduces solvent evaporation during handling. For industrial pharmaceutical and food processing, this means a more streamlined operation that occupies less floor space while maximizing the final yield of high-purity concentrates.

Answer: Our Low-Temperature Vacuum Evaporator utilizes advanced vacuum technology to reduce the internal pressure within the concentration chamber. By lowering the atmospheric pressure, the boiling point of the liquid medium is significantly reduced, allowing evaporation to occur at temperatures as low as 40°C to 55°C. This thermal precision is essential for processing heat-sensitive botanical compounds, essential oils, and biological active ingredients. Maintaining these low temperatures prevents thermal degradation and oxidation, ensuring the final product retains its natural color, potency, and aromatic profile.

Answer: The Low-Temperature Vacuum Evaporator system is equipped with a high-efficiency vertical condenser designed with a large heat-exchange surface area. As the solvent vapors rise from the concentration tank, they are rapidly cooled by the circulating chilled water in the condenser jacket, reverting into a liquid state for collection in the recovery tank. This robust design allows for a solvent recovery rate of over 95%, which drastically reduces the cost of raw materials and minimizes the release of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). This high recovery efficiency makes the unit an environmentally responsible and cost-effective solution for solvent-intensive extraction processes.

Answer: To ensure consistent results across every production run, the liquid extraction equipment unit features an integrated digital control panel that monitors temperature, vacuum levels, and agitation speed in real-time. By providing precise control over the Variable Frequency Drive (VFD), operators can adjust the stirring intensity to match the viscosity of the liquid. This level of technical oversight allows for the “Mastering” of the extraction parameters, ensuring that every batch of concentrate meets the exact same quality specifications. This repeatability is vital for companies supplying the pharmaceutical and high-end cosmetic industries where consistency is a legal requirement.
