Purity Levels
95% Ajmlocin
Mechotech designs and manufactures turnkey herbal extraction plants for Vinicia Rocia, listed in the catalogue with a 95% figure for ‘Ajmlocin’. Mechotech’s legacy page is titled Vinca Rosea (95% Ajmalicine) Extraction Plant and describes extraction of the compound from Vinicia Rocia or related plant species, standardised to 95%; the catalogue spelling ‘Ajmlocin’ corresponds to the legacy page’s ajmalicine. The sources disagree on the plant: the legacy title names Vinca rosea, while Mechotech’s earlier page graphic names Vinicia rocia (Rauwolfia serpentina) and describes roots. The Sureka Life Sciences (SLS) catalogue has no ajmalicine entry; its Vinblastine Extract names the Madagascar periwinkle. The plant, the part and the assay are confirmed with the client.
Mechotech’s Vinicia Rocia 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 95% is the catalogue standardisation; a 95% grade implies a purification step beyond a plain extract, and the route, the specification actually targeted and the assay method are set during process development and pilot validation.
Technical Specifications

| Utility Requirements | Steam, chilled/cooling water, compressed air and power (project-specific) |
| Compliance | GMP hygienic design; full documentation for qualification |
| Final Product Form | Vinicia Rocia extract — 95% Ajmlocin / ajmalicine (catalogue figure) |
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
Vinicia Rocia raw material is authenticated, cleaned, tested for moisture and milled to a uniform particle size to maximise solvent contact before extraction. The species and the plant part are confirmed with the client.
Extraction
The prepared raw material is extracted with a solvent system suited to alkaloids in closed jacketed SS 316L extractors under controlled temperature and over multiple cycles. No Mechotech source describes the route, so the solvent, the pH and the 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 and, for a 95% grade, purified further and adjusted to the client’s target specification (catalogue figure: 95% ajmalicine) before the final finishing step. The purification route and the assay method are agreed with the buyer.
Finishing & Quality Control
The standardised vinicia Rocia 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.
