304SS Vacuum Alcohol Precipitation Tank

Precision Solid-Liquid Separation | Floating-Ball Decanter Technology | GMP & Explosion-Proof Certified


The Alcohol Precipitation Tank (commonly known as an ethanol settling tank) is critical equipment in pharmaceutical production for solid-liquid separation and liquid purification. Manufactured from high-grade SUS304 stainless steel, the unit consists of an elliptical head, a conical bottom, and a high-efficiency agitator. By adding ethanol to the liquid extract—often processed by a vacuum alcohol evaporator—it utilizes the solubility differences of various substances to precipitate non-alcohol-soluble impurities like starch and proteins, effectively refining the medicinal solution.

Core Value Propositions


  • Material Excellence & Compliance: Fabricated from premium SUS304 stainless steel with a mirror-polished interior (Ra ≤ 0.4μm). Equipped with a high-pressure CIP system, it fully meets CGMP and FDA hygiene standards.
  • Intelligent Decanting Design: Features a specialized floating-ball decanter that automatically tracks the liquid level. It stops precisely at the sludge interface, ensuring maximum recovery of clear supernatant without human error.
  • Explosion-Proof Safety: Specifically engineered for ethanol-rich environments, all transmission components utilize reliable mechanical seals and explosion-proof drive systems for total operational security.
  • Superior Thermal Control: The jacketed vessel is designed for chilled brine or cooling water circulation, supporting the low-temperature “freeze-precipitation” required for optimal pharmaceutical clarity.

Primary Application Scenarios


Traditional Medicine Refining: Effectively removes starch, proteins, and non-alcohol-soluble impurities from water-based extracts after vacuum evaporation.

Dual-Direction Precipitation: Highly versatile for both alcohol precipitation of water extracts and water-based precipitation of alcohol extracts to isolate complex solid-phase impurities.

Nutraceutical & Oral Liquid Production: Significantly enhances the transparency and shelf-life stability of botanical extracts, ensuring a premium final product appearance.

Fine Chemical & Dye Processing: Suitable for both room-temperature and cryogenic sedimentation of various industrial suspensions to achieve high-efficiency separation.

Solutions to Critical Technical Challenges


  • Enhancing Product Transparency: Removes micro-impurities and colloidal proteins that bypass traditional filtration, solving the “cloudy liquid” issue in pharmaceutical extracts.
  • Preventing Sediment Clogging: Sticky or hardened residues often block discharge ports. Our system incorporates a steam-assisted softening function to liquefy compacted sludge for rapid cleaning.
  • Eliminating Material Loss: The automatic decanter prevents the accidental discharge of valuable clear liquid, maximizing the yield of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
  • Maximizing Investment ROI: We offer a “One Agitator, Multiple Vessels” configuration, allowing a single motorized tank to serve multiple static settling tanks, drastically reducing energy and equipment costs.

Frequently Asked Questions


Answer: Absolutely. We specialize in providing tailored solutions. Depending on your material characteristics (such as viscosity, acidity, or heat sensitivity) and your facility’s requirements, we can customize the material grade (SS304 or SS316L), heating methods, mixing speeds, and vacuum levels to ensure optimal performance.

Answer: Quality is our top priority. Our equipment is manufactured in strict accordance with GMP and ISO standards. Before shipment, every unit undergoes rigorous testing, including hydraulic pressure tests, vacuum retention tests, and operational trials. We provide complete inspection reports and factory acceptance videos for your peace of mind.

Answer: We offer flexible heating configurations to suit your local energy resources:

Gas Heating: Ideal for facilities where gas is the most cost-effective energy source.

Electric Heating: Equipped with high-efficiency heating elements and precise temperature control.

Steam Heating: Designed with a high-pressure jacket for connection to an external boiler.

Answer: Yes. Each machine comes with a comprehensive English Operation Manual and step-by-step installation videos. We also offer remote technical support via video calls. For large-scale production lines, we can arrange for professional engineers to assist with on-site commissioning and staff training.

Answer: * Lead Time: Standard models are typically ready within 15–20 business days. For complex custom projects, the timeline is finalized during the quoting stage.

Packaging: To ensure safe transit, we use heavy-duty, fumigation-free wooden cases that meet international shipping regulations, providing maximum protection against impact and moisture during sea or air freight.
