Triphala Extract
Triphala Extract
Purity Levels
30% to 40% Tannins by Titration
Mechotech designs and manufactures turnkey herbal extraction plants for Triphala Extract, listed in the catalogue with a 30% to 40% tannin figure by titration. Mechotech’s legacy page for the Triphala Extract Plant describes Triphala as the Ayurvedic formulation of three fruits, Amalaki (Emblica officinalis), Bibhitaki (Terminalia bellirica) and Haritaki (Terminalia chebula). No source gives the proportion of the three fruits, whether they are extracted together or separately and blended, or the assay method beyond titration, so these are confirmed with the client. The Sureka Life Sciences catalogue has no matching entry.
Mechotech’s Triphala 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% to 40% tannins by titration is the catalogue standardisation; the specification actually targeted, the fruit proportions and the feed form are 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
The three Triphala fruits are authenticated, cleaned, tested for moisture and milled to a uniform particle size to maximise solvent contact before extraction. The proportion of the fruits, whether they are de-seeded, and whether they are blended before or after extraction are confirmed with the client.
Extraction
The prepared Triphala Extract 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. The solvent ratio and conditions are set during process development.
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 by titration and adjusted to the client’s target specification (catalogue figure: 30% to 40% tannins) before the final finishing step.
Finishing & Quality Control
The standardised Triphala Extract 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.
Alcohol / Aqueous Solvent Extraction
Closed jacketed extractors run food-grade alcohol or aqueous solvent over multiple cycles to recover the target fraction.
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 the agreed target specification.
Scalable Batch Capacity
Plants are configured to requirement from pilot scale upward, with modular expansion.
