        Sue for dispatch (reporter Zhou Jianyue) "in a year and a half, the total value of 70 million yuan, annual sales income of nearly 50 million yuan, has completed the domestic 20 Chinese medicine pharmaceutical enterprise automation construction of on-line detection of line". Recently, the reporter entered the medical equipment industrial park of zhejiang university of science and technology in jiangsu province suzhou industrial institute Chinese medicine center, a team of science and technology innovation speed is amazing.

        "This is our own design and manufacture of vacuum belt drying machine. If you import a, need WuLiuQian ten thousand yuan, and we cost less than a third of the imported equipment." Professor of zhejiang university in suzhou engineering institute, director of the center for Chinese medicine LiuXueSong pointed to a "when" proudly told reporters: "this machine has completely independent intellectual property rights, breaking the foreign technology monopoly, to fill the domestic blank." Vacuum belt drying machine adopts the extract of Chinese medicine is a new generation of high efficiency, energy saving drying technique, won a national ministry of science and technology research special major science and technology support.

        "Don't look at the machine so much, in fact the inspiration of design, from make coffee with coffee machine, can say is that we 'introduction digestion, absorption and innovation achievements." LiuXueSong said that traditional Chinese medicine with western medicine, western medicine composition is relatively single, and the Chinese native medicine ingredient is very complex, there are tens of thousands of components, and will influence each other. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is a relatively new industry automation, equipment of traditional Chinese medicines before mostly old, there are quite a few are artificial slowly with fire boil, optional the gender is big, and laborious. "So, we this line is to work to understand the process, and to understand the equipment, but also understand the Chinese traditional medicine." As zhejiang university discipline leader LiuXueSong, he himself was automation and double doctor of medicine.

        Chinese medicine center for science and technology innovation output speed is so fast, "thanks to the 'center for school + + innovative companies the mode." LiuXueSong introduces to the reporter, the pattern is mainly from school discipline, the project leader through sets up research center, key technology in industrial generic or demand combined with market demand, or through the corresponding company established, will be effective conversion technology. Based on traditional Chinese medicine center is the suzhou institute, zhejiang university this is zhejiang university in the province of the construction of the first independent legal research and development institutions, it is the energetic innovation carrier, to promote the industrialization process.

If we don't arms extended dry, make a point to could not say the past achievements." LiuXueSong says with a laugh.

        In fact, like LiuXueSong is zhejiang university suzhou engineering institute, director of the center for Chinese medicine center, is engaged in the field of zhejiang university, professor know both theories, and understand technology, give them a platform of enterprise operation, will produce a leap of industrialization. Now suzhou industrialization of traditional Chinese medicine center and affiliated company existing staff more than 80 people, among them, master's or above accounted for 20%.

        LiuXueSong said they center core team of Chinese medicine, the early undertaken more than 20 national and provincial projects, and help the enterprise special approved six development and reform commission (NDRC), 12 items of ministry of science and technology major special drug discovery, by making full use of previous team take on national and the province departmental level topic of scientific research, advanced manufacturing technology to suzhou will be Chinese traditional medicine, it is the foundation of suzhou traditional Chinese medicine center can rapid development.
