NagarMotha
NagarMotha
Mechotech designs and manufactures turnkey roots / husk distillation plants for NagarMotha. Mechotech’s legacy page text names Cyperus scariosus and describes the oil, produced by steam distillation, as valued in Ayurveda, perfumery, pharmaceuticals and aromatherapy. The product tree lists NagarMotha under Roots / Husk Distillation Plants without stating the plant part, and the Sureka Life Sciences catalogue has no NagarMotha distillation entry, so no marker compound is stated. The plant part and exact feed form are confirmed with the client before the plant is configured.
Mechotech’s NagarMotha plant is configured around the raw material and the target oil. It is built in SS 316L with integrated condensers and oil–water separation, PLC-based automation and full documentation, and is delivered as a commissioned turnkey system. The distillation mode and operating parameters are established 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
NagarMotha raw material is cleaned of soil and foreign matter and reduced in size where required so that steam reaches the oil-bearing tissue; the plant part, feed form and particle size are confirmed with the client and set during process development.
Charging & Distillation
The prepared NagarMotha charge is loaded into the SS 316L still and distilled by steam, hydro, vacuum or pressure distillation, selected during process development for the volatility and heat-sensitivity of the target oil.
Condensation
Vapours pass through a multi-tube condenser with chilled-water circulation, condensing the oil and hydrosol.
Oil–Water Separation
Condensate is separated in a stainless-steel Florentine flask; the oil is collected and the hydrosol is drawn off and can be recovered as a co-product.
Polishing & Drying
The crude oil is polish-filtered and dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate or by vacuum to remove residual moisture.
Quality Control
Each batch is sampled for GC-MS profile and physical parameters — specific gravity, refractive index, optical rotation — against the client’s specification.

Key Features
SS 316L Construction
Product-contact surfaces are SS 316L for corrosion resistance and product purity, with CIP capability between batches.
Efficient Condensation
Multi-tube condensers with chilled-water circulation condense the volatile oil and hydrosol and limit loss of volatile top-notes.
Root-Charge Distillation
The still is configured for size-reduced root or rhizome charges, with the distillation mode set during process development.
Hydrosol Recovery
Integrated oil–water separation allows the aromatic hydrosol to be drawn off and recovered as a co-product.
Scalable Capacity
Plants are configured to requirement from pilot scale upward, with modular expansion.
