In the modern Chinese medicine production process, precise control of the extraction, concentration and preparation of medicinal materials is the key to improving product quality.
As an important part of this process, the accurate measurement of the liquid level of Chinese medicine liquid is crucial to ensure the stability of the production process and the quality of the product.
This article will introduce the characteristics of Chinese medicine liquid and explore the application of radar level meter in the liquid level measurement of Chinese medicine liquid.
Traditional Chinese medicine liquid is usually made by boiling and concentrating a variety of Chinese medicinal materials, and has the following characteristics:
1. Complexity: Traditional Chinese medicine liquid contains a variety of chemical components, including volatile oils, alkaloids, glycosides, sugars, proteins, etc., and the physical and chemical properties of these components are different.
2. Viscosity changes: Due to differences in raw materials and extraction processes, the viscosity of different batches of traditional Chinese medicine liquid may vary, affecting the accuracy of liquid level measurement.
3. Temperature sensitivity: Traditional Chinese medicine liquid may need to be heated or cooled during the production process. Temperature changes will affect the density and viscosity of the liquid, and then affect the liquid level.
4. Corrosiveness: Some traditional Chinese medicine liquids may have certain corrosiveness, which puts forward special requirements for the material selection of measuring equipment.
In view of these characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine liquid, radar level meter has become an ideal liquid level detection instrument with its advantage of non-contact measurement.
Radar level meter measures the liquid level by emitting microwave signals and receiving reflected signals. It is not affected by the color, density, temperature and corrosiveness of the liquid, and can provide high-precision and high-stability measurement results.
Case analysis: When a Chinese medicine pharmaceutical company produces a compound Chinese medicine oral liquid, it needs to monitor the liquid level in the extraction tank in real time.
Because the liquid has high viscosity and certain corrosiveness, traditional float or pressure level gauges are difficult to meet the measurement requirements.
Therefore, the company chose a radar level gauge for level measurement. In actual application, the radar level gauge is installed on the top of the extraction tank. By adjusting the parameters of the instrument, it is ensured that the microwave signal can penetrate the foam on the surface of the liquid and accurately measure the real liquid level.
At the same time, since the radar level gauge adopts non-contact measurement, the problem of liquid medicine corroding the measuring equipment is avoided.
In addition, the radar level gauge also has high temperature tolerance and can work stably during the heating process of the liquid medicine.
Through the application of the radar level gauge, the Chinese medicine pharmaceutical company has achieved precise control of the liquid level of the liquid medicine during the extraction process of the compound Chinese medicine oral liquid, ensuring the continuity of the production process and the stability of the product.
At the same time, the high-precision measurement of the radar level gauge also saves costs for the company and improves production efficiency.
Radar level gauges have shown significant advantages in measuring the level of Chinese medicine liquids, and can meet the complex and changeable measurement needs of Chinese medicine liquids.
With the acceleration of the modernization of traditional Chinese medicine, radar level gauges will play an increasingly important role in the production process of Chinese medicine.
