Guest guest Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 Hi all, Sometime back we discussed Korean herbal condenser machines. A number of members highlightes their advantages and disadvantages. Well, now that i am in Korea. i've had the chance to check them out and see what's what. The drawbacks members talked about before included the use of stainless steel, contamination between decoctions, speed, etc. I believe that these disadvantages are with the older machines that wer first introduced into the market. Today i had the opportunity to view the latest model on the market. It looks like an advanced washing machine, with it's top loading window. A hefty thing, it can cook upto 3kg of herbs in 45 mins. The bowel is high quality ceramtic and held under pressure. The herbs are steamed cooked first then boiled. All of this is done under full automation. There is also a compulsory automated washing program between decoctions. Alas with minerals and fine flowers that need to be decocted before or at the end, there is no program to take care of that, probably due to the variables of this. You'll just have to remember when to add the herbs manually. This, i believe, has ironed out quite a few of the old down points to these machines. Technology now really can help an ancient form of medicine. If anyone wants any further info on this machine and it's filtering- packing partner, contact me off list. I have the website address (Korean only), but you may be able to get some English info out of them. There is also an office in L.A. lucky Americans (don't have details of it however-email head office). Attilio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
