Mango Bark
Mango Bark
Purity Levels
90% Mangiferin (listed as “Mangifirin”)
Mechotech designs and manufactures turnkey herbal extraction plants for Mango Bark (Mangifera indica), listed in the catalogue with a 90% Mangiferin figure (the product tree spells the marker “Mangifirin”). Mechotech also lists mango peel and mango kernel extraction as separate pages for other parts of the same tree; this page covers the bark.
Mechotech’s Mango Bark plant is configured around the specific chemistry and processing requirements of the raw material. Built in SS 316L with integrated solvent recovery, automation and full documentation, each plant is delivered as a commissioned turnkey system. The figure 90% Mangiferin is the catalogue standardisation; the specification actually targeted is set during process development and pilot validation.

Plant Capacities
| Plant Scale | Raw Material Throughput | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|
| Pilot | Configured to your feedstock and trial plan | Product development, parameter validation |
| Semi-Commercial | Configured between pilot and commercial scale | Scale-up trials, contract manufacturing |
| Commercial | Configured to raw-material supply and confirmed buyer volume | Commercial production |
Capacity is configured to raw-material supply, confirmed buyer volume and investment timeline; a pilot plant is recommended to validate parameters before scaling.
Manufacturing Process
Raw Material Preparation
Mango Bark (Mangifera indica) raw material is authenticated, cleaned, tested for moisture and milled to a uniform particle size to maximise solvent contact before extraction. The exact bark feed form is confirmed with the client.
Extraction
The prepared Mango Bark raw material is extracted with food-grade solvent (alcohol / aqueous) in closed jacketed SS 316L extractors under controlled temperature and over multiple cycles to recover the target constituents.
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 client’s target specification (catalogue figure: 90% Mangiferin) before the final finishing step.
Drying & Quality Control
The standardised Mango Bark extract is kept as a concentrate or spray- or vacuum-dried to the required form, 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 agreed target specification (catalogue figure: 90% Mangiferin).
Flexible Finishing
The extract can be finished as a concentrate or, with a matched spray or vacuum dryer, as a free-flowing powder.
Scalable Batch Capacity
Plants are configured to requirement from pilot scale upward, with modular expansion.
