Puskar mool
Purity Levels
30% Alkaloids
Mechotech designs and manufactures turnkey herbal extraction plants for Puskar mool, listed in the catalogue with a 30% alkaloids figure. Mechotech’s legacy page for Pushkar Mool names the raw material as Pushkar-Mul (spelled there “Innula Rasmosa”, with the alternative names Pushkarmula and Pushkar Mul) and describes an Ayurvedic herbal extract. No plant part and no assay method are stated for this entry. Mechotech also lists Inula Racemosa Extract as a separate page at a different figure (40% saponins), so the grade and assay method are agreed with the client.
Mechotech’s Puskar mool 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 30% Alkaloids 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
Puskar mool raw material is authenticated, cleaned, tested for moisture and milled to a uniform particle size to maximise solvent contact before extraction. The plant part and feed form are confirmed with the client.
Extraction
The prepared Puskar mool 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: 30% Alkaloids) before the final finishing step.
Drying & Quality Control
The standardised Puskar mool 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: 30% Alkaloids).
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.
