Blue to Bluish Purple Colour
Blue to Bluish Purple Colour
Mechotech designs and manufactures turnkey natural colour extraction plants for Blue to Bluish Purple Colour. We supply the complete machinery to process the blue to bluish purple colour raw material into a colour extract configured to the client’s target specification. The catalogue lists blue to bluish purple colour extraction from fruits, from hyacinth and cornflower flowers and from indigo foliage.
Mechotech’s Blue to Bluish Purple Colour plant is configured around the raw material and the target colour extract. It is built in SS 316L with integrated solvent recovery, automation and full documentation, and is delivered as a commissioned turnkey system. The raw material is confirmed with the client and final parameters are established during process development.

Manufacturing Process
Raw Material Preparation
Blue to Bluish Purple Colour raw material is authenticated, tested for moisture, and milled to a uniform particle size to maximise solvent contact before extraction.
Extraction
Milled Blue to Bluish Purple Colour 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 target specification before the final finishing step.
Drying & Quality Control
The standardised Blue to Bluish Purple Colour 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 Blue to Bluish Purple Colour extract against its declared specification.
Integrated Drying
A matched spray/vacuum dryer produces a dry extract powder; drying parameters are set during process development.
Scalable Batch Capacity
Plants are configured to requirement from pilot scale upward, with modular expansion.
