Mechotech designs and manufactures turnkey herbal extraction plants for Green Coffee Bean Extract, sourced from unroasted (green) Coffea arabica or Coffea canephora beans and standardised to Chlorogenic Acids By HPLC 60%. Because chlorogenic acids degrade substantially on roasting, the raw material is processed strictly green — cleaned, milled and extracted before any thermal roasting step ever takes place — preserving the caffeoylquinic acid complex that gives the extract its metabolic-health and weight-management relevance. We supply the complete machinery — bean cleaning, milling, hydro-alcoholic extraction, filtration, vacuum concentration, closed-loop solvent recovery, standardisation and drying — to convert green coffee beans into a consistent extract for the nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and functional-food industries. Candidate extraction technologies for chlorogenic acids: Counter-Current Extraction (CCE), Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction (UAE), Hybrid Extraction and Microwave-Assisted Extraction (MAE) (4 in total).

Mechotech's Green Coffee Bean Extract plant is engineered around the specific processing requirement that defines this botanical: the beans must remain unroasted throughout raw-material handling and extraction, since roasting drives off much of the chlorogenic acid content that roasted-coffee processing would otherwise destroy. Controlled hydro-alcoholic extraction at moderate temperature maximises chlorogenic-acid recovery from the milled green bean, and a high-efficiency closed-loop recovery system returns the bulk of the extraction solvent per batch. Built in SS 316L with electropolished product-contact surfaces, PLC-SCADA automation and full batch documentation, each plant is delivered as a commissioned turnkey system configured to meet the Chlorogenic Acids By HPLC 60% specification.

Manufacturing Process

Each extraction method follows a different process — pick a method to see its steps.

Raw-Material Preparation

Coffee green beans are cleaned and size-reduced so chlorogenic acids can be reached by the extraction medium; particle size and moisture are set during process development.

Counter-Current Loading

Prepared coffee green beans are fed into a multi-stage solid–liquid counter-current extractor where fresh ethanol/water or a suitable food-grade solvent meets the most-depleted material.

Counter-Current Extraction

Solvent flows against the solids across stages to draw out chlorogenic acids; bed flow and fines management are verified during pilot work.

Extract (Miscella) Collection

The chlorogenic acids-bearing miscella is collected from the fresh-feed end while spent solids are discharged from the solvent-entry end.

Concentration & Solvent Recovery

Solvent is removed from the clarified chlorogenic acids-bearing extract under vacuum and returned through a solvent-recovery loop; recovery performance is confirmed at pilot scale.

Standardisation & Drying

The chlorogenic acids extract is assayed against the declared target specification and dried or supplied as a concentrate, according to the requirement.

Key Features

GMP Hygienic SS 316L Construction
Electropolished SS 316L product-contact surfaces use GMP hygienic design, with CIP operation between batches.
No Roasting Step — Green Bean Processing Only
Beans are cleaned, milled and extracted strictly in their unroasted state, avoiding the thermal degradation of chlorogenic acids that roasting would cause.
Closed-Loop Solvent Recovery
Integrated recovery returns extraction solvent for reuse.
HPLC-Standardised to Specification
In-process and batch-release HPLC assay are used to check the finished extract against its declared specification (Chlorogenic Acids By HPLC 60%).
Integrated Drying
A matched spray/vacuum dryer produces a free-flowing, low-moisture powder ready for encapsulation and blending.
Scalable Batch Capacity
Plants are configured to raw-material supply and confirmed buyer volume, with modular expansion.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Mechotech supply the complete machinery for Green Coffee Bean Extract?

Yes. Mechotech is a green coffee bean extraction plant manufacturer and equipment supplier, engineering and fabricating the complete turnkey plant at our Hyderabad facility, installing and commissioning it as a single integrated system.

Why must the coffee beans stay unroasted for this extract?

Chlorogenic acids — the primary actives responsible for green coffee bean extract's weight-management and metabolic-health relevance — degrade substantially when beans are roasted. This plant processes beans strictly in their green, unroasted state through cleaning, milling and extraction, with no roasting step at any point in the line.

What specification can the Green Coffee Bean Extract plant achieve?

The catalogue lists Chlorogenic Acids By HPLC 60% for this extract. The plant is configured to the client’s target specification; the specification achieved is established during process development and pilot validation, and batch-release testing with certificate-of-analysis documentation is defined with the client.

How does this differ from Mechotech's other coffee-related product pages?

Mechotech offers several distinct coffee-derived extraction lines, each targeting a different active and standardisation: this page targets Chlorogenic Acids By HPLC 60% from whole green (unroasted) beans, within a 5%–70% chlorogenic-acid HPLC range; Green Coffee Extract targets 99% caffeine (USP); and CoffeeBean (Coffee Robusta) and CoffeeBean (Coffee Arabica) target species-specific chlorogenic-acid/caffeine grades. Confirm which active and grade your buyer specification requires before selecting a line.

What extraction method is used, and how much solvent is recovered?

Green coffee beans are milled and processed by controlled hydro-alcoholic extraction in closed, jacketed SS 316L extractors, followed by vacuum concentration and a closed-loop recovery system that recycles the extraction solvent — cutting solvent cost and meeting discharge norms. For other botanicals needing solvent-based extraction, Mechotech also builds general-purpose solvent extraction plants.

What production capacities are available for the Green Coffee Bean Extract plant?

Capacity is selected from raw-material supply, confirmed buyer volume and investment timeline; Mechotech recommends a pilot plant to validate process parameters before scaling.

What is the typical cost and delivery timeline for a Green Coffee Bean Extract plant?

Cost depends on capacity, automation level, and drying technology selected. Mechotech provides a detailed techno-commercial proposal after understanding your target specification and throughput; typical turnkey delivery — design, fabrication, installation and commissioning — runs a few months from order, depending on scope.

Which plant part or feed form does the coffee green bean plant process?

The candidate feedstock is coffee green beans (green beans). The target extract is chlorogenic acids.
