Herbal Extraction Plant in Maharashtra
Maharashtra runs several herbal processing economies side by side. Sangli and Satara move turmeric at mandi scale, and the buyers there want curcuminoid numbers on paper. Pune, Pimpri-Chinchwad, Nashik and Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar hold the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical belt. Mumbai, Thane and Navi Mumbai carry ayurvedic formulation and export contract manufacturing, while Gadchiroli, Melghat and the Vidarbha forests supply amla, harra, gum and honey to processors in Nagpur and Amravati.
One catalogue extractor cannot serve all of them. As a herbal extraction plant manufacturer in Maharashtra, Mecha Engineering starts from the material you feed, the solvent you are allowed to use and the yield your buyer audits, then sizes the vessel, jacket, condenser and filtration around that. Fabrication happens at our own Saharanpur works, so drawings, welding, polishing and trials stay under one roof and one engineering team.
- Delivered and erected. Saharanpur to Nashik, Pune or Nagpur is a three to five day trailer run, and our erection crew travels with the consignment.
- Engineers who visit. Commissioning, trial batches and operator training happen on your floor, not over a phone call.
- Audit ready paperwork. MOC certificates, GA drawings, weld and polish records and IQ or OQ documents go with the plant.
- Spares held in stock. Gaskets, mesh baskets, seals and sight glasses ship the same week you ask.
What you get with every plant
Four Commitments Behind Each Maharashtra Installation
These are the points UP buyers check before releasing a purchase order, so we put them in writing rather than in a brochure line.
Trial Before Dispatch
Water run, vacuum hold and leak test at our Saharanpur shop. Send your herb sample and we run a yield trial before the plant leaves.
Installation by Our Team
Erection, piping tie-in, utility connection, commissioning and operator training at your Maharashtra site, covered in the supply scope. Our engineer travels with the trailer to Nashik, Pune, Nagpur or the Mumbai belt.
Direct Manufacturer Pricing
You buy from the fabricator, not a trading house. No dealer margin, and any design change is quoted against actual material and labour.
Build features
Features of Mecha Engineering Herbal Extraction Plants:
Every feature below exists to protect one of two things: the actives in your herb, or the hours your operator spends on a batch.
01
Controlled Temperature Extraction
Limpet coil or dimple jacket with steam, thermic fluid or electric heating, plus a PT100 sensor in the liquid. Heat sensitive actives hold their profile instead of degrading at the vessel wall.
02
Yield Repeatable Across Batches
Fixed solvent to solid ratio, timed soak and controlled agitation give the same extract strength from the first batch to the hundredth. That is what a Sangli curcuminoid buyer pays for, and what a Pune nutraceutical audit checks.
03
Fast Charging and Discharge
Top manhole for charging, removable SS mesh basket for spent marc and a bottom flush outlet. Turnaround between batches drops instead of holding the line up.
04
Solvent Recovery Built-In
Shell and tube condenser with receiver and vapour line sized for your solvent. Ethanol and hexane come back into the cycle rather than going up a vent.
05
Insulated and Cleanable
Mineral wool insulation under an SS 304 cladding sheet cuts steam consumption. Internal 220 grit mirror finish and a CIP spray ball make changeover between herbs practical.
06
Manual to Fully Automatic
Start with hand valves and a local panel, or take PLC control with HMI recipe storage, batch logging and audit trail when your export buyer asks for it.
Systems we supply
Extraction Plant Range for Maharashtra Processors:
Pick the line that matches your material, or send your process sheet and we will tell you which of these fits.
Multifunctional Herbal Extractor
The workhorse for ayurvedic and nutraceutical units. Handles decoction, percolation, reflux and hydro-alcoholic extraction in the same vessel with a condenser and oil separator.
Curcumin Extraction Plant
Solvent circulation and vacuum concentration sized for turmeric oleoresin and curcuminoid recovery, with crystalliser and dryer tie-in available.
Shilajit Extraction Plant
Low temperature water extraction with multi-stage filtration and vacuum concentration so fulvic acid content survives the process.
Rotary Extractor
Rotating drum with internal baffles for better solvent contact on light, fluffy material such as flowers, leaves and tea. Lower solvent volume for the same yield.
Solvent Extraction Plant
Battery of extractors with counter-current flow, ethanol or hexane circulation, solvent recovery column and safety fittings for flammable duty.
Essential Oil and Mentha Distillation Unit
Steam distillation vessel with gooseneck, condenser and Florentine oil separator. Built for mint, lemongrass, citronella, rose and khus loads.

What changes for Maharashtra material
- Turmeric and oleoresin duty. Counter-current contact with vacuum concentration downstream, and the vessel sized for the crushing season peak in Sangli and Satara rather than the annual average.
- Forest produce from Vidarbha. Amla, harra and gum arrive at uneven moisture, so these builds get a coarse removable basket and a bottom strainer that drains fibrous marc instead of blinding.
- Mumbai and Pune pharma duty. SS 316 contact parts, electropolished internals and a full DQ, IQ and OQ document set where the buyer audits to GMP.
Choosing a method
Which Extraction Method Fits your Maharashtra Material?
The method decides the vessel, not the other way around. This is the shortlist we work through with a Maharashtra buyer on the first call.
| Method | Solvent or medium | Best suited to | Typical Maharashtra application |
|---|---|---|---|
| Decoction and Water Extraction | Hot water | Polysaccharides, tannins, water soluble actives | Ayurvedic kwath and syrup units in Mumbai, Thane and Nashik |
| Hydro-Alcoholic Percolation | Ethanol and water blend | Flavonoids, alkaloids, standardised extracts | Nutraceutical and export units in Pune, Pimpri-Chinchwad and Navi Mumbai |
| Reflux Extraction | Ethanol under condenser | Higher recovery from dense roots and barks | Ashwagandha, shatavari and root processors across Marathwada |
| Solvent Extraction | Hexane, ethyl acetate, ethanol | Oleoresins, curcuminoids, seed oils | Turmeric oleoresin plants in Sangli, Satara and Kolhapur |
| Steam Distillation | Steam only, no solvent | Volatile essential oils and aromatic waters | Lemongrass, citronella and aromatic grass units in Vidarbha |
| Counter-Current or Rotary | Ethanol or water, staged | High yield with lower solvent consumption | Large volume contract extraction units in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar |
| Vacuum Concentration | Downstream of any method | Heat sensitive actives, thick extracts | Kokum, amla and forest produce concentrates from Konkan and Gadchiroli |
Not sure which row you belong to? Share the herb name and the part used and we will confirm the method along with an indicative yield range.
How the plant runs
The Extraction Cycle, Step by Step
Six stages from raw herb to finished extract. Your operator sees the same sequence on every batch, which is what keeps the output consistent.
01
Raw Material Preparation
Herb is cleaned, dried to the target moisture and cut or coarsely milled so the solvent can reach the cell wall.
02
Charging the Extractor
Material goes into the mesh basket through the top manhole, then measured solvent is added to the set solid to solvent ratio.
03
Extraction Under Control
Jacket heating brings the batch to the set temperature. Agitation and soak time run to the recipe, with reflux where the solvent is volatile.
04
Separation of The Extract
Liquid extract is drained through the bottom strainer and filtered. Spent marc is lifted out with the basket for disposal or a second pass.
05
Concentration and Solvent Recovery
The extract is concentrated under vacuum. Condensed solvent collects in the receiver and returns to the next batch.
06
Collection and Packing
Output is drawn off as liquid, soft or semi-solid extract, or sent forward to a spray or vacuum dryer for a free flowing powder.
Where these plants are used
Application Areas of Herbal Extraction Plants:
Ayurvedic and Pharma Manufacturing
Kwath, ghrita, asava and standardised extract lines. AYUSH and GMP units in Mumbai, Thane and Nashik ask for SS 316 contact parts and IQ or OQ documentation.
Turmeric and Oleoresin Plants
Curcuminoid and oleoresin recovery for the Sangli and Satara turmeric trade, with solvent circulation and vacuum concentration sized to mandi season volumes.
Nutraceutical and Supplement Units
Capsule, tablet and gummy makers around Pune and Navi Mumbai needing consistent marker compound levels batch after batch, usually with PLC batch logging.
Forest Produce and NTFP Processors
Amla, harra, baheda, gum and honey lines for Vidarbha and Gadchiroli collectors, built for variable moisture and seasonal throughput.
Food, Spice and Beverage Plants
Natural colour, spice oleoresin and fruit extract lines where food grade construction and CIP cleaning are not negotiable.
Contract Manufacturers and Exporters
Multi-product units in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar and the Mumbai belt that switch herbs weekly, so they buy for quick changeover and audit readiness.

Questions we are asked
Herbal Extraction Plants in Maharashtra: FAQs
Straight answers to what Maharashtra buyers ask before and after a site visit.
Who manufactures herbal extraction plants in Maharashtra?
Mecha Engineering Pvt. Ltd. designs and fabricates herbal extraction plants at its own works at Village Meharbani on Behat Road, Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh. The company was set up in 2022 and supplies extraction, blending, drying and process equipment to pharmaceutical, ayurvedic, nutraceutical, food and cosmetic units across Maharashtra, the rest of India and export markets.
What capacity range can you supply for a Maharashtra plant?
Single vessels run from 100 litres for pilot and R and D work up to 10,000 litres for commercial lines. Multi-vessel batteries are built where counter-current extraction or continuous operation is needed. Tell us the daily herb quantity you want to process and we work backwards to the vessel size and the number of batches per shift.
Which material grade do you use, and can I get certificates?
The standard build uses SS 304 for the shell and product contact parts. SS 316 and SS 316L are used where the solvent or the herb is corrosive, or where a pharma audit requires it. Mill test certificates for every plate and pipe are issued in your company name and handed over with the plant along with the GA drawing and test report.
Can you build a turmeric oleoresin and curcumin line for Sangli volumes?
Yes. The curcumin line is built around solvent circulation, counter-current contact and vacuum concentration, with a crystalliser and dryer tie-in where you want curcuminoid powder rather than oleoresin. Sizing starts from the daily rhizome quantity you plan to crush, so tell us the season peak rather than the annual average.
Do you supply curcumin and shilajit extraction lines separately?
Yes. The curcumin line is built around solvent circulation and vacuum concentration for turmeric oleoresin and curcuminoid recovery. The shilajit line uses low temperature water extraction with multi-stage filtration so fulvic acid content is protected. Both can be quoted as a standalone plant or as an addition to an existing extraction hall.
Is installation and commissioning included for Maharashtra sites?
Erection, piping tie-in, utility connection, water trial, first herb batch and operator training at your Maharashtra site are part of the supply scope. Our engineer travels with the consignment, so commissioning starts within a day or two of the trailer reaching Nashik, Pune, Nagpur or the Mumbai belt.
What documentation is provided for AYUSH, GMP or export audits?
Standard handover covers the general arrangement drawing, material of construction certificates, hydro and vacuum test reports, weld and polish records, the operating and maintenance manual and a spare parts list. DQ, IQ and OQ protocols, along with a validation document set, are prepared on request for GMP and export buyers.
How long does delivery take, and what about freight to Maharashtra?
Standard vessels ship in 4 to 8 weeks from order confirmation. Automated and multi-vessel plants take 10 to 12 weeks. Road transit from Saharanpur to Maharashtra is three to five days, quoted at actual cost, and for larger vessels we arrange the trailer, route survey and unloading crane along with the dispatch.
Can you modify an extractor I already have on site?
Yes. Common jobs include adding a condenser and recovery line to a plain vessel, changing a jacket from steam to thermic fluid, replacing an agitator and gearbox, adding a PLC panel to a manual plant, and repolishing an internal surface that has lost its finish. Send photographs and a nameplate reading to start.
How do I get a price for my plant?
Call +91-9084351006 or +91-7500378000, send a WhatsApp message, or email info@mechaengg.com with four details: the herb and the part used, the batch quantity in kilograms, the solvent you intend to use and the form of extract you want at the end. A specification sheet and price come back within one working day.
