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
- Equipment data and technical dossiers
- General arrangement and approved drawings
- P&ID and process documentation as agreed
- Operation and maintenance manuals
- Inspection and test records
- Installation and operational qualification support documents where applicable
- SOP and checklist support
- Spare-parts and preventive-maintenance documentation
1Our Documentation Approach
Our documentation approach begins with the equipment, process and the customer's quality requirements — identifying the drawings, records, manuals and qualification documents needed for traceable installation, operation, maintenance and audit readiness.
Deliverables are aligned with the contract scope and the customer's quality system. Equipment can be engineered and documented to support qualification, but final protocols and acceptance criteria remain the responsibility of the operating manufacturer. Existing plants can also be documented after document review and site verification, within an agreed scope.
2Applications
Documentation and qualification support suits quality-sensitive facilities:
- Pharmaceutical-oriented facilities
- Nutraceutical plants
- Botanical extract manufacturing
- Natural colour and oleoresin facilities
- Quality-system upgrades
- New equipment qualification and handover
