Bhringraj (Eclipta Alba)
Purity Levels
Alkaloides and wedloprotaloides
Mechotech designs and manufactures turnkey herbal extraction plants for Bhringraj (Eclipta Alba) (Eclipta alba), standardised to Alkaloides and wedloprotaloides. We supply the complete machinery to process Bhringraj (Eclipta Alba) into an extract configured to the client’s target specification for the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, food, and fragrance industries. The catalogue lists the leaves, roots and whole aerial parts of Eclipta alba (bhringraj) as feedstock for extraction.
Mechotech's Bhringraj (Eclipta Alba) plant is configured around the specific chemistry and processing requirements of Bhringraj (Eclipta Alba). Built in SS 316L with integrated solvent recovery, automation, and full documentation, each plant is delivered as a commissioned turnkey system. Bhringraj (Eclipta alba) is a leafy herb whose catalogue entry lists leaves, roots and whole aerial parts, so the plant part supplied decides milling and extraction conditions and is agreed first; the extract is then concentrated and dried to a powder.

Manufacturing Process
Raw Material Preparation
Bhringraj (Eclipta alba) raw material is cleaned, checked for moisture and milled to a uniform particle size; the plant part (leaves, roots or whole aerial parts) is confirmed with the client before extraction parameters are fixed.
Extraction
Milled Bhringraj (Eclipta Alba) is extracted with food-grade solvent (alcohol / aqueous) in closed jacketed SS 316L extractors under controlled temperature and multiple cycles to maximise recovery of the target actives.
Filtration
The extract (miscella) is clarified through a plate-and-frame filter press followed by cartridge polish filters.
Concentration & Solvent Recovery
The miscella is concentrated in a falling-film / vacuum evaporator, with solvent recovered through the condenser return system.
Standardisation
The concentrate is assayed and adjusted to the declared specification of Alkaloides and wedloprotaloides before drying.
Drying & Quality Control
The standardised Bhringraj (Eclipta Alba) extract is spray- or vacuum-dried, then released after assay, residual-solvent, heavy-metal, microbial, and moisture testing.

Key Features
SS 316L Construction
Electropolished SS 316L product-contact surfaces with CIP operation between batches.
Closed-Loop Solvent Recovery
Integrated condenser-return recovery reuses solvent between batches and reduces solvent loss.
Standardised to Specification
In-process and batch-release assay are used to check the finished extract against the agreed target specification.
Integrated Drying
A matched spray/vacuum dryer produces a free-flowing, low-moisture powder ready for encapsulation and blending.
Scalable Batch Capacity
Plants are configured to requirement from pilot scale upward, with modular expansion.
