Dehumidification of medicinal materials storage

The benefits of drug quality are directly related to people's physical and mental health. Inferior drugs not only can't cure diseases, but also threaten people's life safety. It has always been a headache for people that medicinal materials can't be stored for a long time because of damp. With the development of science and technology and the birth of industrial dehumidifier, this problem can be solved easily.

For those pieces with more sugar and mucilage, such as Cistanche deserticola, Rehmannia glutinosa, asparagus root and Codonopsis pilosula, they should not be dried after processing. They are easy to absorb moisture, become soft and sticky with high temperature and humidity, and are easy to be polluted, and then rotten and eaten by insects. Therefore, they should be stored and maintained in a ventilated and dry place. The industrial dehumidifier can keep the storage space dry, which can keep the medicinal materials for a long time.

The drying temperature should not be too high and should be maintained at 60 ℃ ° C below, in order to avoid the loss of effective ingredients. Storage room temperature should not be too high, otherwise easy to lose aroma or oil; Indoor humidity is also easy to absorb moisture, mildew and insects, should be placed in a cool, dry place storage.

Processed pieces of honey, such as Tussilago farfara, licorice, loquat leaves, etc., contain more sugar and are difficult to dry. They are especially susceptible to moisture and become soft or conglutinated. If the temperature is too high, the honey can melt. Honey fried pieces are easy to be polluted, moth eaten, moldy, try to be closed to avoid moisture absorption; Store in ventilated, dry and cool place for maintenance.

Some mineral pieces, such as borax and mirabilite, are easy to lose crystal water and weathering in dry air; And humidity is big and easy to dissolve, so should seal, maintain in cool place.

From the original artificial moisture-proof method to the present industrial dehumidifier for humidity control, the preservation method of Chinese herbal pieces or medicinal materials has achieved good economic benefits for pharmaceutical and medicinal materials business enterprises or units.

Industrial dehumidifier can effectively reduce the cost of medicine storage, and it is an essential dehumidification and drying equipment for medicine storage.
