Ultrasonic Wall-Breaking Machine for Plant Extracts

Product Overview:

This pretreatment equipment utilizes high-frequency (28 kHz) vibrations to generate cavitation effects and mechanical shear forces, efficiently disrupting the cell walls of plant tissues—such as roots, stems, and leaves. Achieving a cell disruption rate of over 95%, it significantly accelerates the release of intracellular bioactive substances, making it widely applicable to pretreatment processes in fields such as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) extraction and natural product development.

Key Advantages and Selling Points:

Ultra-high cell wall disruption rate: Powerful penetration via 28 kHz high-frequency ultrasound achieves a cell wall disruption rate of ≥95%; the dissolution rate of active ingredients increases by 30%–50% compared to traditional methods, ensuring more thorough extraction.

Efficient low-temperature extraction: Temperature rise during disruption is controllable, preventing the degradation of heat-sensitive active ingredients and preserving higher biological activity and natural potency for subsequent extraction steps.

Significantly reduced extraction time: Pre-treatment via cell wall disruption cuts subsequent extraction time by over 50%, markedly boosting overall production efficiency while saving energy and labor.

Wide range of applicable materials: Suitable for processing various plant parts—including roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits, and seeds—and highly effective even on lignified Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) materials.

Flexible and simple operation: Equipment parameters (frequency, power, temperature, and time) are adjustable to suit specific material characteristics, ensuring consistent batch processing and facilitating easy scale-up for production.

Primary Applications:

Pre-treatment for cell wall disruption of Traditional Chinese Medicine materials (e.g., ginseng, astragalus, reishi mushroom, goji berry) prior to extraction

Facilitating the release of active natural plant compounds (e.g., flavonoids, saponins, polysaccharides, alkaloids)

High-efficiency pre-treatment of raw materials for health supplements and functional foods

Low-temperature cell wall disruption processing of botanical ingredients used in cosmetics

Specific problems addressed:

Low extraction yield of active ingredients → Cell wall disruption rate ≥95%; intracellular substances are fully released, significantly boosting extraction yield.

High temperatures destroying active ingredients → Controlled low-temperature disruption preserves heat-sensitive components, resulting in higher product activity.

Excessively long extraction cycles → Pre-treatment cuts extraction time by over 50%, exponentially increasing production efficiency.

Difficulty processing lignified materials → High-frequency ultrasound offers strong penetrating power, ensuring efficient cell wall disruption even for hard medicinal materials.

Inconsistent extraction results between batches → Standardized pre-treatment ensures a uniform and stable material base for subsequent extraction.

Benefits for users:

Increased extraction yield: Fully releases active ingredients, maximizes the utilization of premium TCM herbs and botanical raw materials, and significantly improves the return on investment.

Higher product activity: Low-temperature cell-wall disruption preserves natural bioactivity, resulting in end-product efficacy and quality that far surpass those achieved through traditional processes.

Multiplied production capacity: Drastically reduces extraction time and increases equipment turnover, enabling higher output within the same timeframe.

Eco-friendly process upgrade: Reduces solvent usage and energy consumption, meets clean production standards, and lowers overall operating costs.

Expanded application scope: Cell-disrupted materials can be used to produce high-value-added derivatives—such as ultrafine powders, highly active extracts, and floral waters—opening up new market opportunities.
