Sizing a Hospital Herb Decoction Centre

Work Back From Prescriptions and Session Windows to Pot Count

Sizing a hospital decoction dispensary begins with the number of prescriptions arriving during peak clinical windows. If inpatient wards and outpatient clinics release orders within a tight morning period, single-pot processing creates an immediate bottleneck.

A multi-pot configuration such as the HYS22X(4+1) provides four separate 20,000 ml glass pots on a single chassis. Each individual pot accommodates a dosage of 2 to 15 pairs, allowing up to four separate patient formulas to decoct simultaneously without cross-contamination.

Computerized heating controls manage the traditional transition from slow fire to strong fire automatically. Visual timers and audible warning signals guide dispensary technicians through the extraction cycle, maintaining process consistency across all four vessels.

• Calculate the maximum prescription count arriving during your dispensary peak morning release window
• A four-pot glass vessel configuration handles four distinct formulas totaling up to sixty pairs
• Automated switching between high and low fire replicates traditional decoction protocols without manual intervention

Balance Decoction Volume With Pouch Packing Speed

Liquid extraction without integrated packing requires manual transfer of boiling broth between open containers. Combined units integrate extraction and pouch heat-sealing on a single frame to eliminate handling burns and liquid loss.

The integrated packing mechanism on the HYS22X operates at a speed of 8 pouches per minute using hermetic heat-sealing film. Dispensary operators can adjust pouch lengths between 95 and 180 mm on a fixed 100 mm width, setting dosage volume from 50 to 250 ml.

Matching pot drain volume to packaging output ensures extracted liquid moves directly into pouches before cooling. This tight cycle preserves hygiene and reduces dispensing lag in high-turnover acupuncture clinics and hospital pharmacies.

• Integrated pouch packaging seals 8 pouches per minute directly from the decoction pots
• Adjust liquid volume between 50 and 250 ml per pouch using adjustable length settings
• Hermetic heat-sealing film keeps dispensing hygienic while cutting down dispensary table clutter

Normal Pressure Herb Decoction and Packing Machine HCK2000 is the model most often specified when this is the constraint.

Match Extraction Pressure to Odour Control and Herb Extraction Needs

Normal-pressure decoction machines operate under atmospheric conditions, making them straightforward to monitor through visual glass pots. They suit standard clinic layouts where visual boiling monitoring is standard operating procedure.

When mass dosage extraction or odour containment is required, composite airtight units such as the HYY15LBX and HYY25LBX seal the boiling environment. Hermetic extraction keeps herbal aromas within the vessel rather than venting into patient treatment rooms.

Sealed systems incorporate a manual hand extrusion device. Once boiling concludes, the operator squeezes the herbal residue directly within the vessel to reclaim concentrated active liquid before sending the broth to the packing unit.

• Normal-pressure glass pots provide continuous visual monitoring of raw herbs during decoction
• Airtight composite units contain volatile herbal smells inside shared medical and clinical buildings
• Integrated hand extrusion devices squeeze herbal dregs thoroughly to maximize liquid extraction yield

Verify Electrical Supply and Floor Dimensions Before Installation

Dispensary planners must review utility feeds prior to delivery. A four-pot normal-pressure unit draws 1,800 W per pot across four vessels plus 800 W for the pouch heat sealer, resulting in a total connected power rating of 8,900 W on a 220 V line.

The HYS22X(4+1) frame measures 1,540 mm in width, 540 mm in length, and 1,170 mm in height, with a machine weight of 230 kg. Verifying door clearances and dedicated line capacity prevents costly installation delays when commissioning hospital equipment.

• Confirm that dispensary electrical supply can deliver 8,900 W total connected load at 220 V
• Plan doorway and floor clearances for a machine footprint measuring 1540 mm by 540 mm
• Standard production uses 220 V electrical systems with special voltage customization available upon request
