Distillation Plant
Distillation Plant
Mechotech engineers and manufactures the Distillation Plant as turnkey process equipment for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, food, and botanical processing lines that need conventional still-and-column separation. Each plant is designed around the client's specific process parameters and target output, then fabricated, installed, and commissioned by Mechotech as a single accountable scope.
The Distillation Plant is built in SS 316L (or a process-appropriate grade) with electropolished product-contact surfaces and integrated instrumentation, so it can be cleaned in place between batches and operated under PLC-based control. Capacity is configured to the customer's requirement, from pilot-scale systems for process validation to larger commercial installations with modular expansion, and every unit is delivered with full documentation to support GMP and regulatory qualification.

Manufacturing Process
Engineering & Design
Mechotech's process engineers size and configure the Distillation Plant around the client's feed material, target output, and throughput specification before fabrication begins.
Fabrication & Assembly
The still, column, and receiver are fabricated in SS 316L (or a process-appropriate grade), with instrumentation and control automation integrated during assembly rather than added afterward.
Installation & Commissioning
The completed system is installed at the client's site, commissioned, and commissioned as a single accountable unit before handover.
Applications
- Pharmaceutical and nutraceutical process manufacturing
- Botanical and herbal extraction industries
- Food and flavour processing
Key Features
Hygienic SS 316L Construction
Electropolished SS 316L (or process-appropriate grade) product-contact surfaces, cleaned in place (CIP) between batches; documentation supports the customer's GMP qualification.
Turnkey Engineering
Design, fabrication, installation, and commissioning are delivered as one accountable scope, so the client deals with a single engineering team from drawing to handover.
Scalable Capacity
The plant is sized to the customer's requirement, from pilot-scale validation through to commercial capacity, with modular expansion as production grows.
