What solvents can be used in Mechotech solvent extraction plants?

Our plants are engineered for food-grade and pharmaceutical solvents including hexane, ethanol, ethyl acetate, acetone, and methanol. Solvent selection depends on target compound polarity, yield requirements, and regulatory classification of the final product.

How is solvent recovery handled to ensure safety and economy?

Mechotech plants feature closed-loop solvent recovery with vacuum evaporation and multi-effect condensers. Solvent recovery efficiency exceeds 95%, significantly reducing operating costs, emissions, and hazardous waste — compliant with Pollution Control Board norms.

What industries use Mechotech solvent extraction plants?

Our solvent extraction plants serve pharmaceutical API manufacturers, nutraceutical producers, oleoresin exporters, spice extract companies, fragrance ingredient suppliers, and food additive manufacturers across India and internationally.

What is the difference between counter-current and percolation extraction?

Counter-current extraction maximises yield by continuously exposing fresh solvent to spent botanical material, achieving 95%+ extraction efficiency. Percolation is simpler and suitable for high-volume commodities. Mechotech designs both systems and recommends the most economical approach for your specific raw material and throughput.
