Product Overview

Model HTK-CQG-01 extraction tank from 1000 L to 5000 L, built in SUS304 or SUS316L. It extracts herbal or tea liquor from leaves, using a vertical three layer construction with insulation and a dimple jacket and a paddle type agitator. Standard fittings include product inlet and outlet, an airtight manway, a top elliptical cover, a bottom conical cover, a CIP cleaning ball, a temperature sensor, high and low level sensors, lifting ears and four adjustable legs.

Key Benefits

Dimple jacket with insulation gives even heating and holds temperature during extraction
Paddle agitator keeps leaf material moving without shredding it
Bottom conical cover drains the vessel and eases spent leaf removal
CIP cleaning ball fitted as standard so the vessel cleans in place
SUS304 or SUS316L depending on the product

Problems It Solves

Extraction temperature drifting during a long hold in an uninsulated vessel
Uneven extraction when leaf material is not kept in suspension
Spent leaf that is difficult to discharge from a flat bottomed vessel
Vessels that cannot be cleaned in place between batches

Compared With The Alternatives

Blending tank	A blending tank mixes liquids; the extraction tank is built to hold leaf material at temperature and then separate the liquor from it.
Open extraction vessels	The airtight manway and jacketed construction hold temperature and volatiles far better than an open vessel.
