Jinlu Machinery’s Custom-Made 30-Meter Scrophularia-Specific Mesh Belt Dryer for Anhui Customer Officially Goes into Production
Facing the growing demand for large-scale and standardized processing in the traditional Chinese medicine industry, Jinlu Machinery has officially launched its innovative solution – the JL-30×2.3-6L Scrophularia-specific biomass pellet mesh belt dryer. With its 30-meter ultra-long drying tunnel, six-layer three-dimensional design, and intelligent control, this equipment aims to thoroughly solve the three core problems of uneven quality, insufficient capacity, and excessive energy consumption faced by root and rhizome medicinal materials such as Scrophularia in traditional drying methods. This marks the official entry of primary processing in traditional Chinese medicine production areas into a highly efficient and precise industrial era.
1. Core Technology: A Large-Scale Continuous Drying Solution Tailored for Scrophularia
The Jinlu Machinery JL-30×2.3-6L dryer is specifically designed for the material characteristics of Scrophularia. Its core advantages include:
Ultra-large processing capacity: The 30-meter (long) × 2.3-meter (wide) drying tunnel combined with a 6-layer mesh belt structure creates a huge effective drying area, capable of processing up to 36 tons of fresh Scrophularia per batch, meeting the large-scale continuous operation needs during the peak harvesting season in production areas.
Precise process control: The equipment integrates intelligent temperature and humidity sensing and a PLC control system, which can accurately simulate and execute the optimal three-stage process curve of “dynamic wilting – gradient dehydration – steady-state shaping” for Scrophularia drying, ensuring that the temperature fluctuation throughout the drying process is ≤±1.5℃, and key components (harpagoside, harpagogenin) are preserved to the maximum extent.
Energy-saving and environmentally friendly design: Using clean biomass pellets as the heat source, combined with a patented hot air circulation and waste heat recovery system, the overall energy consumption is reduced by more than 35% compared to traditional coal-fired drying methods, and emissions meet national environmental protection standards.
2. Customer Feedback: Achieving a Double Leap in Production Capacity and Quality
The equipment has officially gone into production and has received high praise from customers. “This equipment has completely transformed our production model,” said Mr. Tan from Anhui, “Previously, we used small drying rooms, resulting in significant variations in color and content between batches, leading to constant customer complaints. Now, using Jinlu’s 30-meter mesh belt dryer, our production capacity has increased by nearly three times. More importantly, the moisture content of the finished product is consistently stable at below 12%, the cross-section is dark and oily, and the extractable content consistently exceeds the pharmacopoeia standards, earning recognition from several well-known pharmaceutical companies.”
3. Industry Value: Empowering the Upgrading of the Entire Traditional Chinese Medicine Industry Chain
The successful application of Jinlu Machinery’s equipment goes beyond simple equipment sales, bringing deeper value to the entire industry chain:
Promoting Standardization: It provides a replicable and verifiable standardized process equipment foundation for the initial processing of traditional Chinese medicinal materials at their origin, assisting in the implementation of GACP (Good Agricultural Practice for Traditional Chinese Medicinal Materials).
Promoting Sustainable Development: The utilization of biomass energy, combined with high-efficiency and energy-saving technologies, reduces the environmental pressure of traditional processing methods, aligning with the development direction of green agriculture.
