Mechotech supports mechanical erection, piping and utility integration, instrumentation checks, pre-commissioning, trial runs and process commissioning so that supplied extraction systems are installed correctly and brought into controlled operation.
Mechotech has engineered extraction and distillation solutions since 1997, serving pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, botanical-extract, essential-oil, oleoresin, natural-colour and food-processing applications across laboratory, pilot and commercial scales and multiple extraction technologies.
What This Service Delivers
- Site readiness and installation planning
- Equipment positioning and alignment
- Piping and utility connection checks
- Electrical and instrumentation verification
- Pressure, leak and functional checks as applicable
- Dry and wet trial support
- Process parameter stabilization
- Operator training and handover support
1Our Engineering Approach
Our installation and commissioning approach begins with the product and process — not with a standard equipment catalogue. The engineering team reviews feedstock behaviour, target specification, capacity, extraction medium, batch philosophy, solvent-recovery needs, utility availability, quality requirements, site constraints and future expansion, converting this into an executable technical scope with defined equipment duties and interfaces.
For solvent- and alcohol-based systems, special attention is given to containment, recovery, condensation, vacuum operation, compatible materials of construction and safe operating philosophy. For aqueous systems, the focus includes extraction efficiency, filtration, evaporation load, thermal exposure and downstream concentration or drying requirements. Final decisions remain project-specific and are confirmed on site.
2Applications
Installation and commissioning support covers a range of scenarios:
- New plant installations
- Capacity expansions
- Relocated equipment
- Automation upgrades
- Solvent-recovery systems
- Extraction and distillation packages
3Typical Project Workflow
Bringing a plant into operation follows a coordinated sequence:
- 1. Requirement review: Requirement and product specification review.
- 2. Process basis: Process concept and capacity basis.
- 3. Engineering: Engineering calculations and flow definition.
- 4. Equipment & layout: Equipment selection, layout and utility integration.
- 5. Implementation: Manufacturing, procurement and implementation.
- 6. Installation: Inspection, installation and integration.
- 7. Commissioning: Pre-commissioning and commissioning.
- 8. Handover: Training, documentation and post-startup support.
