CO2 Extraction Plants

Coriander Seed Oil (CO2)

Mechotech designs and manufactures turnkey CO2 extraction plants for Coriander Seed Oil (Coriandrum sativum). We supply the complete machinery to process Coriander Seed (seed) into a CO2 extract configured to the client’s target specification for flavour, fragrance and related ingredient applications.

Mechotech’s Coriander Seed Oil (CO2) plant is configured around the raw material and the target oil. It is built in SS 316L, rated for the high-pressure supercritical CO2 process, with integrated CO2 recovery and recirculation, PLC-based automation and full documentation, and is delivered as a commissioned turnkey system. Coriander seed is a small, dry, aromatic seed, so the line is built around cleaning and milling the seed and closed supercritical CO₂ extraction, with linalool as the listed marker compound.

Manufacturing Process

Raw Material Preparation

Coriander Seed raw material is cleaned, sorted, and (where required) milled to the optimal particle size to maximise extraction efficiency.

Supercritical CO2 Extraction

Prepared Coriander Seed is charged into the high-pressure SS 316L extraction vessel, where CO2 is pressurised and heated past its critical point to act as a solvent-free extraction medium, drawing out the target oil.

Separation

The CO2-oil mixture is passed to a separator vessel where pressure is reduced, causing the CO2 to revert to gas and release the extracted oil.

CO2 Recovery & Recirculation

Released CO2 gas is recompressed, condensed, and recirculated back into the extraction cycle, minimising solvent consumption.

Collection & Quality Control

The extracted Coriander Seed Oil is collected and each batch is tested against the agreed specification, with test methods defined during process development, before release.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Mechotech supply the complete machinery for Coriander Seed Oil (CO2)?

Yes. Mechotech is a CO2 extraction plant manufacturer and equipment supplier, engineering and fabricating the complete turnkey plant for Coriander Seed Oil (CO2) at our Hyderabad facility, then installing and commissioning it as a single integrated system. Final process parameters are established during process development and pilot validation.

What specification can the Coriander Seed Oil (CO2) plant achieve?

The plant is configured to the client’s target specification for Coriander Seed Oil (CO2); the specification achieved is established during process development and pilot validation, and each batch is released with batch-release testing and certificate-of-analysis documentation.

What production capacities are available for the Coriander Seed Oil (CO2) plant?

Capacity for the Coriander Seed Oil (CO2) plant is configured to raw-material supply, confirmed buyer volume and investment timeline, starting at pilot scale; a pilot plant is recommended to validate parameters before scaling.

Which industries use the Coriander Seed Oil (CO2) plant?

The end-use areas listed for Coriander Seed Oil (CO2) on this page are given under Applications. The end use and the target specification are confirmed with the client before the plant is configured.

Which part of coriander seed is processed in the CO2 plant?

The catalogue lists Coriander Seed as seed. The exact feed form is confirmed with the client before the plant is configured.

How is coriander seed oil produced by supercritical CO2 extraction?

Prepared raw material is charged into a high-pressure SS 316L extraction vessel where CO2, pressurised and heated past its critical point, draws out the oil. Pressure is reduced in a separator vessel so the CO2 reverts to gas and releases the oil; the CO2 is recompressed, condensed and recirculated.

Does Mechotech list other routes or related plants for Coriander Seed Oil (CO2)?

Yes. This page covers the supercritical CO2 route. Coriander seed is also listed as a steam-distillation oil plant (Coriander) and as an oleoresin extraction plant (Coriander Oleoresin).

How does coriander seed oil by CO₂ differ from the other coriander pages?

This page covers supercritical CO₂ extraction of the seed. Coriander seed is also listed as steam distillation and as an oleoresin, and cilantro leaf oil is on Cilantro / Kothimeera. Each route gives a different product, so the route follows the buyer’s specification.
