Turmeric / Curcumin
Turmeric / Curcumin
Mechotech designs and manufactures turnkey spices oleoresin extraction plants for Turmeric / Curcumin. We supply the complete machinery to process Turmeric / Curcumin into a consistent, specification-grade extract for the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, food, and fragrance industries.
Mechotech's Turmeric / Curcumin plant is engineered from first principles around the specific chemistry and processing requirements of Turmeric / Curcumin. Built in SS 316L with integrated solvent recovery (>95%), automation, and full documentation, each plant is delivered as a commissioned, performance-verified turnkey system.
Manufacturing Process
Raw Material Preparation
Turmeric / Curcumin raw material is authenticated, tested for moisture, and milled to a uniform particle size to maximise solvent contact before extraction.
Extraction
Milled Turmeric / Curcumin 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 target specification before drying.
Drying & Quality Control
The standardised Turmeric / Curcumin 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 Turmeric / Curcumin extract within its declared specification.
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.
