ABSTRACT:
A preferred embodiment the present invention provides a system for extracting and concentrating active ingredients from herbs. The herbs are boiled in a suitable extraction medium, such as water or alcohol, in an extraction vessel. The extraction vessel is connected to a vacuum line that both serves to lower the pressure of the extraction vessel and to draw off herbal vapor formed in the boiling process. A vapor condenser cools the herbal vapor, forming an herbal condensate that is collected and periodically reintroduced into the extraction vessel, thereby lowering the density of the herbal liquid. After a predetermined period of time, a first portion of herbal liquid is transferred from the extraction vessel to a concentration tank, while the remainder of the herbal liquid continues to boil in the extraction vessel. In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the concentration tank is provided with side and bottom heating elements work together to minimize burning of the contents of the concentration tank.
