Industrial Trichome Separation Equipment for Controlled Batch Processing
Lanphan manufactures stainless steel trichome separators for solvent-free separation processes involving plant biomass, ice, and water. The TS series combines variable-speed mechanical agitation, temperature-control capability, filtration, and programmable operating cycles in a stainless steel vessel.
Available configurations include the TS-50 and TS-75, with different vessel capacities and processing loads. Custom configurations can also be discussed according to batch size, filtration requirements, electrical specifications, cooling arrangements, and downstream equipment.

How to Choose a Trichome Separator
Match the Batch Requirement:
Compare your required batch load with the available separator models and avoid sizing equipment only by nominal vessel volume.
Define the Separation Process:
Confirm whether the process uses ice, water, wet biomass, or another material combination, as these conditions affect filtration and cooling configuration.
Specify Filtration Needs:
Filter specification should be selected according to the material residue, required separation method, and downstream collection process.
Check Plant Conditions:
Before ordering, confirm available floor space, loading access, electrical supply, cooling utilities, and connection requirements.
How Does a Trichome Separator Work?
Mechanical Separation:
The equipment uses controlled mechanical agitation to process plant material in a water- or ice-based separation process.
Vortex Processing:
The rotating system creates movement within the vessel to keep the process mixture in circulation during agitation.
Bottom Filtration:
After processing, the mixture passes through a bottom filter or strainer that retains plant residue for separation and collection.
Programmable Washing:
PLC control allows washing sequences to be set by operating time, rotation direction, switching interval, and rest period.
Case-Based Equipment Selection
Commercial Batch Processing:
For regular production, select the model according to actual batch requirements and planned production frequency rather than purchasing based only on equipment size.
Ice-Water Separation:
For ice-and-water processes, consider the required cooling arrangement, water circulation, ice supply, and filtration configuration as one system.
Space-Limited Facilities:
Where installation space is restricted, compare equipment footprint, access route, operator clearance, and auxiliary equipment placement before selecting a model.
Process Expansion:
If future production may exceed the standard model range, discuss larger vessel configurations or customized equipment before finalizing the production line layout.

Processing & Application Compatibility
Botanical Material:
The separator is intended for mechanical separation of trichome-bearing plant material in batch processing.
Ice-Based Processing:
The equipment can be incorporated into processes using ice and water to separate material before filtration.
Wet Processing:
The vessel and filtration arrangement support processes where the material is handled as a wet mixture.
Solvent-Free Processing:
The listed separation method uses mechanical agitation and filtration without solvent-based extraction.
Custom Trichome Separator Solutions
Capacity Configuration: Custom vessel configurations can be discussed when standard models do not match the required batch size or production layout.
Filtration Configuration: Different filter specifications are available for processes with different separation and collection requirements.
Material Selection: 304 stainless steel is used for the standard configuration, with 316 stainless steel available for the vortex separator as an option.
Auxiliary Equipment: Chillers, stainless-steel tanks, filter bags, water pumps, ice makers, and recirculating collection tanks can be matched to the process setup.
Equipment Integration & Downstream Compatibility
Cooling System:
The separator's cooling jacket can connect to an external chiller for temperature-controlled processing.
Collection System:
Stainless-steel collection tanks and filter bags can be used downstream for material collection and handling.
Water Circulation:
Water pumps can be incorporated where the process requires transfer or recirculation between equipment.
Ice Supply:
Commercial ice makers can be integrated into ice-based processing lines according to batch frequency and ice demand.
Stainless Steel Fabrication: The separator is manufactured with stainless-steel process-contact construction, with the selected material grade confirmed in the order specification.
Equipment Assembly: The main assembly combines the processing vessel, agitation system, filtration section, cooling structure, and PLC control system.
Configuration Verification: The production specification should identify the selected model, filtration arrangement, material grade, electrical configuration, and auxiliary connections.
Pre-Shipment Inspection: The finished equipment is checked against the confirmed configuration before packing and shipment.
Installation, Utilities & Maintenance
Installation Space:
Allow clearance around the separator for loading, discharge, cleaning, inspection, and routine maintenance.
Electrical Connection:
Confirm local voltage, frequency, phase, and control-panel requirements before equipment production.
Cooling Connection:
Where external cooling is required, prepare the chiller, piping, fittings, and utility connections according to the confirmed configuration.
Routine Cleaning:
Clean the vessel and filtration components after each batch and inspect the filter for residue buildup, blockage, or damage.
FAQ
Q: What specific cooling capacity and flow rate requirements apply when connecting an external chiller to the TS-50 or TS-75?
A: The chiller must match the interlayer volume (30L for TS-50, 47L for TS-75) and target temperatures down to -20°C, with flow rates sized to your ambient load.
Q: Which specific agitation direction, switching interval, and rest period parameters can operators customize via the PLC?
A: Operators can program forward/reverse rotation times, interval pauses, and total processing duration to suit specific biomass types.
Q: How do the standard 304 stainless steel and optional 316 material grades differ under continuous ice-water operation?
A: Grade 316 provides higher resistance to pitting from organic compounds and mineral exposure, reducing long-term surface degradation compared to 304.
Q: What vertical clearance and ceiling height limitations should facilities consider for the TS-75 Pro (1950mm height)?
A: Facilities need sufficient overhead space for operator loading access, potential lifting equipment, and internal component removal during servicing.
Q: Can the electrical control cabinet be customized for non-standard regional voltages, frequencies, and enclosure ratings?
A: Yes, electrical configurations are adapted to match local power supplies and required industrial standards during order finalization.
Q: How does the drive maintain torque at the lower end of the 200-800rpm speed range under heavy loads?
A: The variable-frequency drive utilizes motor control tuning to sustain adequate torque at lower speeds, preventing stalls under dense wet-biomass loads.
Q: What testing data or inspection records are included in the pre-shipment report regarding mechanical components?
A: Factory checks cover dynamic rotation testing, electrical safety verification, and dimensional checks aligned with internal quality protocols.
