Purity Levels
20% Polysacharides
Mechotech designs and manufactures turnkey herbal extraction plants for Cucumber, standardised to 20% Polysacharides. We supply the complete machinery to process Cucumber into a consistent, specification-grade extract for the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, food, and fragrance industries.
Mechotech's Cucumber plant is engineered from first principles around the specific chemistry and processing requirements of Cucumber. Built in SS 316L with integrated solvent recovery (>95%), automation, and full documentation, each plant is delivered as a commissioned, performance-verified turnkey system that reliably meets the 20% Polysacharides specification.
Manufacturing Process
Raw Material Preparation
Cucumber raw material is authenticated, tested for moisture, and milled to a uniform particle size to maximise solvent contact before extraction.
Extraction
Milled Cucumber is extracted with food-grade solvent (alcohol / aqueous) in closed jacketed SS 316L extractors under controlled temperature and multiple cycles to maximise recovery of the target actives.
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 greater than 95% solvent recovery through the condenser return system.
Standardisation
The concentrate is assayed and adjusted to the declared specification of 20% Polysacharides before drying.
Drying & Quality Control
The standardised Cucumber extract is spray- or vacuum-dried, then released after assay, residual-solvent, heavy-metal, microbial, and moisture testing.
Applications
- Pharmaceutical standardised ingredient supply
- Nutraceutical capsule, tablet, and supplement manufacturing
- Food, flavour, and beverage applications
- Cosmetic and personal care active ingredients
- Ayurvedic and traditional medicine preparations
- Export to regulated-market ingredient buyers
Key Features
GMP-Compliant SS 316L Construction
Electropolished SS 316L product-contact surfaces meet WHO-GMP and Schedule M requirements, with CIP operation between batches.
Closed-Loop Solvent Recovery (>95%)
Integrated recovery returns greater than 95% of the solvent per batch, cutting operating cost and meeting CPCB discharge norms.
Standardised to Specification
In-process and batch-release assay hold the finished Cucumber extract within its declared specification (20% Polysacharides).
Integrated Drying
A matched spray/vacuum dryer produces a free-flowing, low-moisture powder ready for encapsulation and blending.
Scalable Batch Capacity
Plants are configured from 100 kg/batch pilot scale to 2,000+ kg/batch commercial capacity with modular expansion.
