Study regarding the Conditioning Operation of Medicinal Plants and Specific Separation Equipment

Abstract

The preparation of herbs according to the use and imposed quality standards is done by a sequence of technological conditioning operations whose complexity and specificity depend on the raw plant material, the product’s destination, and the available technical level. Depending on the type of plant material and the available technical equipment, conditioning may be performed manually or mechanically. The equipment used for separating impurities from the product mass may perform a single action or more actions simultaneously and can be performed in different constructive variants, differentiated by the principle of operation.
