At SKE, we are well aware that the true value of innovation lies not only in creating world-class side-conical extraction tanks, but also in ensuring that these devices operate precisely as designed from the very beginning of their startup. For this reason, we have developed an advanced digital process simulation service that can vividly present your entire extraction workflow in a virtual environment, helping you achieve flawless debugging on the first day.
Understand where the risks lie
Whether it is extracting active pharmaceutical ingredients, flavor compounds from hops, or powerful plant extracts for nutritional health products, temperature control, solvent flow rate, etc. all require extremely precise precision. Traditional on-site commissioning often discovers hidden control logic conflicts or problems with the Settings only when it is too late – leading to extended downtime, solvent waste, and the high cost of modification and change.
The virtual debugging method of SKE
After unremitting efforts, the R&D team of SKE has developed a technology that can precisely replicate every step of the debugging process of the side cone extraction tank equipment. The successful development of this technology has significantly increased the success rate of the debugging of the extraction tank. Process simulation is reflected in the following aspects:
1. Multi-domain system modeling: The same platform can seamlessly integrate multiple physical scenarios including mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic and control
2. Dynamic physical simulation: The dynamic behavior of the computing system based on physical laws can achieve parameter visualization
3. Virtual PLC debugging can be carried out, reducing on-site debugging time
4. Conduct fault diagnosis and safety verification, and optimize system performance
Application scenarios of extraction tanks
Pharmaceutical API production: Verify multi-stage ethanol extraction of herbal active ingredients to ensure consistent activity and compliance with regulatory requirements.
2. Craft and commercial beer brewing: Optimize the hop particle extraction process, precisely control the bitterness and aroma characteristics, whether for 100-liter small batches or 10,000-liter large-scale production.
3. Plant nutritional health products: Optimize the supercritical CO₂ extraction process for plant antioxidants to ensure that laboratory verification results can be seamlessly scaled up for production.
Why choose SKE's process simulation service?
1. Accelerated production start-up: The time for on-site commissioning and start-up is shortened, enabling profits to be achieved more quickly.
2. Minimize risks and waste: Eliminate the trial-and-error process in the workshop, eliminating the need to re-lay pipes or waste solvents.
3. Predictable scalability: Our process model ensures that the process variables in the pilot stage are exactly the same as those in the production stage.
At SKE, we are not merely equipment manufacturers; we are your partners in achieving outstanding delivery. By combining our expertise in side cone extraction tanks with industry-leading digital process simulation, we ensure a seamless transition from design drawings to large-scale production.
