Dharu Haldi
Dharu Haldi
Purity Levels
10% Berberin
Mechotech designs and manufactures turnkey herbal extraction plants for Dharu Haldi (Berberis aristata), with a catalogue figure of 10% Berberine. We supply the complete machinery to process Dharu Haldi into an extract configured to the client’s target specification. Dharu haldi (daruharidra, Indian barberry) is used in Ayurveda, Unani and Siddha medicine and contains berberine, valued for antimicrobial, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity.
Mechotech’s Dharu Haldi 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.

Manufacturing Process
Raw Material Preparation
Dharu Haldi raw material is authenticated, tested for moisture, and milled to a uniform particle size to maximise solvent contact before extraction.
Extraction
Milled Dharu Haldi 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 Dharu Haldi 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 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.
