The material enters the one effect and two effect heater along the axis of the evaporator. After the negative pressure is formed through the steam, the one effect heater is heated and concentrated, and the specific gravity is detected through the circulation tube under the heater to reach the standard post ointment or to the storage tank of the concentrated liquid.
The lower part of the evaporator is equipped with a temperature sensor, which controls the steam intake by controlling the steam regulating valve through the remote signal. The material within the evaporator is lower than the low level sensor or higher than the high level sensor. The material intake valve is manually adjusted to keep the material level in the high and low level in the evaporator and finally reach the balance. The material level of the evaporator is stable, and the feed valve is maintained after continuous feed and discharge. When the liquid level is low, the pneumatic feed valve is opened. When the liquid level is high, the pneumatic feed valve is closed to form intermittent inlet / discharge.
After collecting the liquid level of the tank to the high liquid level, after the signal is detected, the liquid discharge pneumatic valve and the exhaust valve are opened, while the liquid drainage centrifugal pump starts, and the condensate in the tank is discharged. After collecting liquid level to the low level switch, shut off the centrifugal pump, then drain the pneumatic valve and the exhaust valve to close automatically.
