Ultrasonic Essential Oil Extraction Advantage

The ultrasonic plant essence extraction system is an outstanding representative of modern plant extraction technology. With its high efficiency, environmental protection and precision, it plays an important role in the development and utilization of plant resources. The following is a detailed introduction to the system:

System Principle

The ultrasonic plant essence extraction system uses the physical effect of ultrasound to form strong shock waves and shear forces in the liquid through tiny bubbles generated by high-frequency vibration, effectively destroying the plant cell wall and releasing the active ingredients in the cell. Under the action of ultrasound, the essence components in the plant cells can be dissolved quickly and efficiently, greatly improving the extraction efficiency.

System Composition

Ultrasonic plant essential oil extraction equipment generally includes ultrasonic generators, ultrasonic probes, extraction tanks, separators, purifiers and other parts. Among them, the ultrasonic generator is the core part of the equipment. It can generate high-frequency vibration ultrasonic signals and transmit the signals to the extraction tank through the ultrasonic probe.

Performance Characteristics

1. High efficiency: Compared with traditional distillation, leaching and other methods, the ultrasonic plant essence extraction system can quickly release the essential oils in plant cells, accelerate the dissolution and diffusion of essential oils, and improve the extraction efficiency. In general, the extraction time can be shortened to several hours or even tens of minutes, significantly improving production efficiency.

2. Stable quality: The tiny impact and shearing effect of ultrasound on plant cells can promote the permeability of cell membranes, which is conducive to maintaining the original fragrance and efficacy of essential oils. At the same time, it reduces the mechanical losses of plant materials such as heat and oxidation during the extraction process, thereby reducing the deterioration and volatilization of essential oils.

Cost saving: Compared with traditional distillation, leaching and other methods, the ultrasonic plant essence extraction system does not require the use of high temperature, high pressure and a large amount of solvents, which reduces production costs. In addition, it has a high degree of automation and can greatly reduce labor costs.

3. Environmental protection: The ultrasonic plant essence extraction system does not require the addition of any chemical reagents, and can be extracted only with the help of sound waves. Therefore, it has minimal pollution to the environment, which meets the requirements of modern people's pursuit of green production and environmental protection concepts.

4. Diversity: The system is suitable for the extraction of a variety of plant materials, including flowers, leaves, stems, roots and other different parts and different types of plants. In addition, it can also be combined with other technologies such as microwaves and supercritical fluids for comprehensive utilization to achieve more efficient and professional extraction methods.

Advantages and Disadvantages Analysis

1. High efficiency: significantly improve the extraction efficiency.

2. Stable quality: maintain the original fragrance and efficacy of essential oils.

3. Cost saving: reduce production costs and labor costs.

4. Environmental protection: minimal pollution to the environment.

5. Diversity: suitable for the extraction of a variety of plant materials.

Disadvantages:

1. Sample destruction: The high energy density of ultrasound may cause sample destruction.

2. The process is difficult to control: It is not easy to control the effect of ultrasound during ultrasonic extraction, which may cause adverse effects such as decomposition and inactivation of some compounds.

3. The top is difficult to handle: During the ultrasonic extraction of large batches of samples, the top is difficult to handle, which may lead to insufficient extraction.

In summary, the ultrasonic plant essence extraction system has a wide range of application prospects in the field of plant extraction due to its unique advantages. However, in actual application, it is still necessary to pay attention to its potential shortcomings and take corresponding control measures.
