Manufacturing Process

1

Raw Material Preparation

Medicinal and botanical herb raw material is authenticated, tested for moisture, and milled to a uniform particle size to maximise solvent contact before extraction.

2

Solvent Extraction

Milled herb is extracted with food- or pharma-grade solvent (alcohol / aqueous / hydroalcoholic) in closed jacketed SS 316L extractors under controlled temperature and multiple cycles to maximise recovery of the target actives.

3

Filtration

The extract (miscella) is clarified through a plate-and-frame filter press followed by cartridge polish filters.

4

Concentration & Solvent Recovery

The miscella is concentrated in a falling-film / vacuum evaporator with integrated solvent recovery through the condenser return system.

5

Standardisation

The concentrate is assayed against the declared target specification and adjusted before drying.

6

Drying & Quality Control

The standardised herbal extract is spray- or vacuum-dried, then released after assay, residual-solvent, heavy-metal, microbial, and moisture testing.

Applications

  • Engineered Around Each Herb

    Extraction parameters — solvent, temperature, cycle time — are engineered around the specific herb's chemistry and target specification.

  • Integrated Drying

    A matched spray/vacuum dryer produces a free-flowing, low-moisture powder ready for encapsulation and blending.

  • Turnkey Manufacturer & Supplier

    Mechotech engineers, fabricates, installs, and commissions each plant as a single accountable turnkey supplier, exporting to regulated markets worldwide.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a herbal extraction plant?
A herbal extraction plant is turnkey machinery that recovers the active compounds from medicinal and botanical herbs — using solvent (alcohol or aqueous) extraction, filtration, concentration, and drying — to produce a consistent herbal extract.
How does a herbal extraction plant work?
Raw herb material is prepared and milled, then extracted with a food- or pharma-grade solvent in closed extractors. The resulting extract is filtered, concentrated with solvent recovery, and dried to a stable extract or powder. Mechotech engineers each plant around the specific herb and target output.
What is the difference between a herbal extraction plant and a nutraceutical/botanical extraction plant?
The two terms describe closely related machinery. Mechotech's herbal extraction plant range covers the broad spectrum of medicinal and traditional herbs — including shared botanicals such as ashwagandha, moringa, ginseng, aloe vera, and turmeric — for herbal and Ayurvedic extract manufacturing. For buyers specifically targeting standardised, marker-compound extracts for dietary-supplement or nutraceutical formulation, see our nutraceutical & botanical extraction plant range.
Which herbs can be processed on a herbal extraction plant?
Mechotech builds dedicated extraction plants across a wide range of medicinal and botanical herbs — see the full list of herbal extraction products below for the specific herb you're sourcing.
What is the process flow of a herbal extraction plant?
The process flow runs raw material preparation and milling, solvent extraction, filtration, concentration with solvent recovery, standardisation, and drying — with quality control checks at each stage. See the process steps above for the full sequence.
What technical specifications should I confirm for a herbal extraction plant?
Key specifications to confirm with your manufacturer include contact-part material (Mechotech uses SS 316L), solvent type and recovery method, batch or continuous operation, extractor and evaporator capacity, drying method, and the documentation package (IQ/OQ, GMP compliance, materials of construction) provided with the plant.
What does a herbal extraction plant cost?
Cost depends on the target herb, batch or continuous configuration, extractor and evaporator capacity, and the documentation package required, so we don't quote a fixed price without those details. Share your target herb, capacity, and specification through a project consultation and we'll provide a project-specific quotation.
Who manufactures herbal extraction plants and equipment?
Mechotech is a herbal extraction plant manufacturer, supplier, and exporter, engineering and fabricating the complete turnkey machinery at our Hyderabad facility for buyers in India and export markets.
