CRTO Extract
Purity Levels
Ar-termones 40% and 70% Curcuminoids 30%, Water Soluble oil 20%
Mechotech designs and manufactures turnkey herbal extraction plants for CRTO Extract (Curcuma longa, Rosa centifolia, Terminalia chebula, Ocimum sanctum (combination extract)), with a catalogue figure of Ar-termones 40% and 70% Curcuminoids 30%, Water Soluble oil 20%. We supply the complete machinery to process CRTO Extract into an extract configured to the client’s target specification. CRTO is a combination extract of Curcuma longa (turmeric), Rosa centifolia (rose), Terminalia chebula (haritaki) and Ocimum sanctum (tulsi), combined in herbal formulations for their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and rejuvenating properties.
Mechotech’s CRTO Extract plant is configured around the raw material and the target extract. It is built in SS 316L with integrated solvent recovery, automation and full documentation, and is delivered as a commissioned turnkey system. Final parameters are established during process development. The CRTO extract is a multi-botanical, water-soluble formulation, so the line is built around separate raw-material preparation and extraction lines for the botanicals that make it up, followed by blending and standardisation to the declared figures.

Manufacturing Process
Raw Material Preparation
CRTO Extract raw material is authenticated, tested for moisture, and milled to a uniform particle size to maximise solvent contact before extraction.
Extraction
Milled CRTO Extract 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 CRTO Extract extract is spray- or vacuum-dried, then released after assay, residual-solvent, heavy-metal, microbial, and moisture testing.

Plant Output
From Plant to Product
CRTO Extract
This botanical is also in the product range of Sureka Life Sciences, our sister concern in botanical ingredients.
Applications
- Combination herbal formulations (the catalogue cites synergistic antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and rejuvenating use)
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 its declared target 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.
