Jiangsu BOLAIKE Completes Freeze-Drying Process Test for Traditional Chinese Medicine Liquid

Recently, Jiangsu BOLAIKE completed a mid-stage production test of its freeze-drying process for traditional Chinese medicine liquid, verifying the advantages of freeze-drying technology in herbal medicine processing. Test data showed that the retention rate of active ingredients in freeze-dried traditional Chinese medicine liquid can reach over 90%. The finished products can be stored at room temperature for 3 to 5 years, while significantly reducing weight and improving transportation convenience. This provides an efficient solution for the long-term storage and cross-regional distribution of traditional Chinese medicine products.

Traditional Chinese medicine materials are commonly processed through drying methods such as sun drying, shade drying, or hot-air drying. However, high temperatures or prolonged exposure during these processes may cause oxidation and degradation of active ingredients, making it difficult to achieve satisfactory ingredient preservation. Freeze-drying technology is carried out under low-temperature and low-pressure conditions, effectively reducing oxidation and degradation of heat-sensitive components and addressing key challenges in traditional drying processes.

Freeze-Drying Solutions for Different Application Stages

To meet the requirements of different stages of traditional Chinese medicine liquid freeze-drying applications, Jiangsu BOLAIKE provides two types of equipment solutions.

For customers in the product research and development stage, BOLAIKE recommends small-scale silicone oil freeze dryers. The equipment adopts an industrial-grade silicone oil circulation system and can completely freeze materials within 2 to 3 hours. Under the same freeze-drying area, the overall efficiency can be improved by 30% to 50% compared with conventional equipment, significantly shortening experimental cycles.

For customers who have entered the stage of large-scale production, BOLAIKE industrial freeze-drying equipment provides an appropriate solution. The equipment is equipped with residual cooling recovery technology and an intelligent control system as standard, reducing overall energy consumption by 20% to 30% compared with traditional equipment. For the core temperature control components, the industrial equipment adopts an integrated full-panel radiation shelf made by directly stretching a whole aluminum plate. The temperature difference between shelves is controlled within ±1℃, helping improve the appearance and color performance of freeze-dried traditional Chinese medicine liquid products.

Supporting the Modernization of Traditional Chinese Medicine Processing

Jiangsu BOLAIKE focuses on the research, development, and manufacturing of high-performance freeze-drying equipment. Its products account for 80% of overseas exports and are shipped to multiple countries and regions, including Europe, America, Russia, and Kazakhstan. The company has established close cooperation with universities and research institutions such as Jiangnan University and China Agricultural University. From experimental research and development of traditional Chinese medicine liquid to large-scale production, BOLAIKE provides comprehensive freeze-drying equipment solutions and technical support, helping promote the modernization and standardization of traditional Chinese medicine processing.
