The role of herb sorting mainly includes the following aspects:
Improve product quality: Through sorting, impurities, non-medicinal parts, and moldy and worm-eaten herbs can be removed to ensure the purity and quality of herbs. For example, removing impurities and moldy products can ensure the safety of medication, and removing non-medicinal parts can improve the efficacy and reduce side effects.
Improve production efficiency: Automated sorting equipment can greatly increase the screening speed, reduce the time and labor intensity of manual operation, and thus improve production efficiency.
Ensure quality stability: Through color sorting technology, the color of herbs can be ensured to be uniform, which is conducive to subsequent processing and market sales.
Save resources: Removing unqualified, contaminated or defective herbs during the sorting process can reduce unnecessary waste, make full use of high-quality raw materials, and reduce costs.
