Pharmaceutical Grade TCM Extract Drying: A GMP Compliance Success Story
April 26, 2026
[Project Background] Drying Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) extracts is notoriously difficult due to the high sugar and fat content, which causes materials to stick to the dryer walls and char. A major pharmaceutical group required a GMP-compliant system that could handle heat-sensitive extracts while ensuring maximum product recovery.
[The Shangjin Solution] Shangjin Drying implemented the ZLPG Series Pharmaceutical Spray Dryer. This system incorporates several proprietary technologies:
- Cold-Wall Jacket: The drying tower is equipped with an air-cooled jacket to keep the wall temperature below 80°C, preventing extract melting.
- Automatic Air-Sweeping: Integrated pneumatic devices continuously clean the tower walls during operation.
- HEPA Filtration: Three-stage air purification ensures a Class 100,000 cleanroom environment.
[Key Results] The client achieved a 98% powder recovery rate, with the bioactive components of the TCM extracts perfectly preserved. The project passed all strict medical quality inspections, demonstrating Shangjin's expertise in specialized pharmaceutical thermal engineering.
