闽产太子参主产区连续式清洗机的设计及应用效果

Design and Application Effect of Continuous Cleaning Machine in Main Producting Area of Pseudostellaria heterophylla in Fujian

闽东柘荣县是太子参的道地主产区,也是中国太子参之乡。太子参的清洗是道地产区初加工的必需环节,直接影响太子参饮片品质,目前太子参清洗以传统人工清洗为主,主产区太子参清洗技术滞后凸显。为此,本文基于柘荣太子参清洗特性研制了一种连续式清洗机,具体包括太子参进料组件、清洗滚筒、气泡清洗装置和传输带等。该连续式清洗机可实现高效的太子参清洗作业,清洗效率为传统人工清洗的10.7倍,清洗后的太子参色泽好、均一度高,重金属和药残含量显著降低。该机器有利于道地产区太子参清洗标准的制定。

Zherong County in eastern Fujian Province is the main authentic production area of Pseudostellaria heterophylla,and also the hometown of Pseudostellaria heterophylla in China.Cleaning of Pseudostellaria heterophylla is a necessary step for primary processing in authentic producing areas,which directly affect the quality of sliced Pseudostellaria heterophylla.At present,the cleaning of Pseudostellaria heterophylla is mainly done by traditional manual cleaning,the cleaning technology of Pseudostellaria heterophylla in main producing areas lags behind.Therefore,this paper developed a continuous cleaning machine based on the cleaning characteristics of Pseudostellaria heterophylla,including feeding components,cleaning drum,bubble cleaning device and transmission belt,etc.The continuous cleaning machine could realize efficient cleaning operation of Pseudostellaria heterophylla,the cleaning efficiency was 10.7 times that of traditional manual cleaning,the cleaned Pseudostellaria heterophylla had good color and high average degree,the content of heavy metals and drug residues significantly reduced.It is conducive to the establishment of cleaning standards for Pseudostellaria heterophylla in authentic producing areas.
