ANGUO, China – June 13–15, 2026 – The 28th International Medicinal Materials Festival & 2026 China·Anguo Medicinal Materials and Healthcare Products Exchange (commonly known as the Anguo Medicinal Materials Fair) was grandly held at the Anguo International Convention and Exhibition Center in Anguo City, Hebei Province.

Under the theme “Preserving the Essence of Medicinal Herbs, Revitalizing Qizhou Medicine, Healthy China, Sharing with the World,” this year's fair brought together over 1,000 traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) enterprises and more than 10,000 domestic and international pharmaceutical traders and representatives. The exhibition spanned 40,000 square meters and featured five specialized exhibition zones covering the entire TCM industry chain—from medicinal herb cultivation and Chinese herbal decoction pieces to finished TCM products and health-oriented end products.

The opening ceremony witnessed a series of major announcements, including the release of the five-year achievements of the Anguo TCM (Chinese Pharmacopoeia varieties) quality traceability project—which now covers over 98% of Chinese Pharmacopoeia-listed varieties—the inauguration of the National TCM Industry Chain Leader Enterprise Alliance bringing together 60 leading companies including Yunnan Baiyao Group, and the debut of the Anguo City Wellness Tourism Map.

Angelon at the Forefront of TCM Processing Innovation

Angelon (Hefei Anjinglong Electronics Co., Ltd., stock code: 838092), a leading Chinese manufacturer of tracked sorting equipment, made a prominent appearance at the fair with its advanced AI-powered intelligent color sorting solutions tailored for the TCM processing industry. As traditional Chinese medicine processors face growing demands for product purity, consistency, and quality control, Angelon's sorting technology offers a reliable solution for removing impurities, discolored particles, and foreign materials from a wide variety of medicinal herbs.

Precision Sorting for Diverse Medicinal Materials

Angelon's tracked color sorters are specifically engineered to handle the unique challenges of TCM material processing. The systems leverage high-definition industrial imaging and AI deep-learning algorithms to instantly identify and separate materials based on color, shape, and texture differences. Key capabilities include:

Effective removal of moldy, discolored, or insect-damaged medicinal herbs

Separation of foreign materials such as stems, leaves, soil, and other contaminants

Adaptability to root-based, seed-based, and flower-based medicinal materials, as well as X-ray foreign object inspection for TCM sorting and processing scenarios

Low carry-over ratio and high throughput, maximizing yield while minimizing waste

Driving Quality and Safety in the TCM Industry

As quality control and traceability become increasingly central to the TCM industry's modernization—exemplified by Anguo's quality traceability project covering over 98% of Chinese Pharmacopoeia varieties—precision sorting has emerged as a critical step in the medicinal materials supply chain. Angelon's solutions enable processors to meet stringent quality standards while improving operational efficiency and reducing labor costs.

The TCM processing equipment zone at the fair featured a comprehensive display of modern processing machinery, including fully automatic TCM decoction piece packaging machines, low-temperature ultrafine pulverizers, color sorters, and herb cutting machines—showcasing the intelligent, refined, and modernized development of TCM processing.

A Trusted Partner in Food and Material Processing

With over 20 years of industry expertise and a portfolio of more than 100 patents, Angelon has established itself as a trusted partner for processors across the nut, grain, plastic recycling, chili and seasoning, and now TCM material industries. The company's products have been exported to over 45 countries and regions worldwide.

Commitment to Innovation

"Participating in the Anguo Medicinal Materials Fair allows us to better understand the specific needs of the TCM processing industry," said a company spokesperson. "We are committed to continuously innovating our sorting technology to help our customers achieve higher product quality, better quality control, and greater operational efficiency—supporting the modernization and high-quality development of the traditional Chinese medicine industry."
