In the realm of traditional Chinese medicine, wild arrowroot, also known as kudzu, holds a significant place due to its high content of puerarin and isoflavones. However, the processing of this valuable plant poses unique challenges, especially when it comes to extracting its starch. Let's delve into the requirements for arrowroot powder making machines to ensure the extraction process is efficient and yields optimal results.
Efficient Cleaning Mechanism
Given the large size of wild arrowroot roots, conventional cleaning machines may not be sufficient. An effective arrowroot powder making machine must incorporate a robust cleaning system that can handle the bulkiness of the roots. This could range from manual cleaning methods to intermittent drum-type cleaners or customized dust-removal equipment. The key is to minimize damage to the skin of the arrowroot during the cleaning process, as isoflavones are predominantly found in its epidermis.
Precise Cutting and Grinding
Due to the robust nature of wild arrowroot, it is essential to cut the roots into smaller segments, typically 10-20 centimeters long, before grinding. For large-scale production, specialized arrowroot grinding machines, similar to those used for wood shavings, are ideal. For smaller batches, stainless steel overflow-type grinding machines offer durability and efficiency.
