Scope
Main Technical Content: 4.2 Production Operation Process and Process Conditions - Material Receiving and Weighing: Gather licorice materials from the herb storage warehouse according to the batch production instructions. After checking, fill out and hang the "Material Transfer Card" and transfer the materials to the temporary storage area for raw herbs. - Sorting: Remove the licorice from the temporary storage area for raw herbs, sort out non-medicinal parts, impurities, and moldy parts, then hang the "Material Transfer Card" and proceed to the next process. - Washing: Clean the selected materials in a drum washing machine or washing tank until there are no traces of sand, stones, or soil on the surface. Rinse them with drinking water and place them in a transfer basket. - Moistening: Place the cleaned materials in a moistening machine at 80°C ± 3°C for 0.5–1 hours, or use a moistening tank (ensure the materials are completely soaked and free of hard cores). - Cutting: Place the moistened licorice in a slicing machine and adjust the slice thickness to 2–4 mm. Use slicing machines, rotary slicing machines, or turntable-type frequency-controlled slicing machines for cutting. Stop the machine when the remaining materials are unsuitable for further processing and manually cut them. After cutting, hang the "Material Transfer Card" and proceed to the next process. - Drying: Place the cut licorice slices evenly on drying trays, ensuring the material does not exceed two-thirds of the tray height. Simultaneously send all drying carts containing licorice slices into the CT-C series hot-air circulation oven at 60°C ± 3°C for 1–2 hours. After drying, weigh the total dried material, attach the "Material Transfer Card", and proceed to the next process. - Screening: Screen the dried licorice slices using a vibratory sieve or color sorter, weigh the selected material, and attach the "Material Transfer Card" for the next process. - Intermediate and finished product
