R&D Vacuum concentrator CD-80 by T&T MACHINERY

The R&D Vacuum concentrator CD-80, manufactured by T&T MACHINERY, is a widely used piece of equipment in the pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic-chemical industries. It is especially designed for low-temperature concentration of solutions to preserve active ingredients, flavors, and natural colors in the raw materials.

Introduction to R&D Vacuum concentrator CD-80

A vacuum concentrator is a device used to reduce the volume of liquid solutions under vacuum conditions, allowing evaporation to occur at lower temperatures than normal. This method is particularly beneficial for heat-sensitive solutions such as herbal extracts, fruit juices, or biological enzymes.

⚙️ Main Components:

• Concentration vessel: Typically spherical or cylindrical in shape, made from SUS 304 or 316L stainless steel.

• Heating system: May use steam, thermal oil, or electric heating elements.

• Vacuum system: Utilizes a vacuum pump to reduce the pressure inside the vessel.

• Condenser unit: Cools down the evaporated vapor and recovers the solvent (commonly water or ethanol).

• Concentrated liquid tank: Collects the final concentrated solution after processing.

⚙️ Working Principle of the Vacuum Concentrator:

The system works by lowering the pressure inside the concentration vessel, which in turn decreases the boiling point of the solvent. This allows the solution to be concentrated at a reduced temperature, effectively preserving its bioactive properties, flavor, and natural aroma.
