The entire system comprises reaction equipment, decolorization and filtration equipment, and crystallization equipment.
Reaction equipment typically requires precise control over temperature, pressure, and agitation to ensure the smooth progress of chemical reactions and the quality of the products. For instance, in certain drug synthesis reactions, reactors equipped with stirring paddles and heating/cooling jackets are commonly used.
Reactors can adjust their temperature based on the reaction requirements by using heat transfer media (such as steam, hot water, or heat transfer oils) or coolants (like cold water, ethylene glycol, etc.) within the jackets to control the temperature of the reaction system. The role of the stirring paddles is to ensure thorough mixing of the reactants, promoting uniform progression of the reaction.
Additionally, monitoring equipment such as thermometers and pressure gauges may be required to continuously monitor the reaction conditions. In some cases, safety measures such as explosion-proofing and inert gas protection are also necessary to ensure the reaction's safety.
Decolorization and Filtration Equipment:
Activated carbon is commonly used in the pharmaceutical industry for decolorization. Decolorization equipment typically includes an activated carbon addition system and a filtration separation system.
There are various types of activated carbon, such as powdered activated carbon and granular activated carbon. During the decolorization process, the medicinal solution to be decolorized is mixed with activated carbon, which removes colored impurities through adsorption.
For example, when using powdered activated carbon, it can be added to the medicinal solution and then thoroughly mixed by stirring. After decolorization, the activated carbon is separated from the solution through filtration using the equipment.
Crystallization equipment plays a crucial role in pharmaceutical manufacturing. These devices are characterized by:
Precise temperature control: High-precision temperature control systems allow for accurate adjustment and control of the temperature during the crystallization process, achieving the desired crystallization effect.
High efficiency and energy-saving: Designed with energy-saving features, they optimize heat transfer structures to enhance thermal efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and possess rapid heating and cooling capabilities to shorten production cycles.
High level of automation: Equipped with advanced automation control systems, they precisely regulate parameters such as temperature, concentration, and stirring speed. Once operators set the parameters, the equipment can run automatically, reducing labor costs and increasing work efficiency.
Strong stability: High-quality materials and advanced manufacturing processes ensure stable performance over long periods of operation, minimizing the rate of failures.
High safety: Safety considerations are fully taken into account in the design and manufacturing, including explosion-proofing, corrosion resistance, etc., ensuring safe operation under harsh conditions. Additionally, they feature automatic fault diagnosis and alarm functions.
Each set of equipment is equipped with a separate Temperature Control Unit (TCU) to meet different temperature control needs. The equipment is connected with pneumatic diaphragm pumps for automatic material transfer.
