Shilajit Extraction Plant Manufacturer in India

A shilajit extraction plant is a stainless steel process line that purifies raw shilajit, the mineral rock resin collected in the Himalayas. Crushed raw shilajit is dissolved in warm purified water, the rock and plant debris is settled and filtered out, and the clear solution is concentrated under vacuum at low temperature into purified shilajit resin. A drying section can then turn that resin into powder.

In six stages. Raw lumps are sorted and crushed, then soaked in warm purified water or a Triphala decoction under slow agitation. The heavy debris settles and the clear solution is decanted, passed through bag, sparkler and cartridge filters, and concentrated under vacuum below 60 degrees Celsius into soft resin. The resin is filled as it is or dried and milled to powder, then tested and packed.

No organic solvent is needed. Shilajit is purified with purified or RO water, or with a herbal decoction such as Triphala when the buyer wants traditional Shuddha Shilajit. Because there is no hexane, acetone or ethanol on site, the plant does not need a solvent recovery train or flameproof hazardous area fittings, which keeps both the capital cost and the consent process simpler than a solvent extraction plant.

Fulvic acid and the other bioactive compounds in shilajit are sensitive to heat. Boiling the solution in an open vessel darkens it, can scorch resin on the wall and lowers the fulvic acid figure on the lab report. Concentrating under vacuum lets water evaporate below 60 degrees Celsius, so the resin keeps its colour, gloss and assay.

Batch lines start at 25 kg of raw shilajit per charge for pilot and sample work and run up to 500 kg per batch. Turnkey plants of 1000 kg per batch and above are built with two or more dissolving tanks working in rotation. Tell us how much raw shilajit you want to process each month and we work backwards to the tank size, filtration area and evaporator capacity.

It depends on the raw lot. Rock-heavy shilajit gives much less recoverable resin than semi-processed lumps, and the figure changes from one collector to the next. Rather than quote a number blind, we run a dissolution and filtration trial on a 5 kg sample of your own raw shilajit and give you a yield figure you can budget against.

Yes. The dissolving, settling, filtration and concentration sections alone give purified shilajit resin, which is what most jar and D2C brands sell. Adding a vacuum tray dryer or spray dryer, with a pulveriser and sifter, turns the same concentrate into powder for capsules, tablets and churna. Many units start with resin and add the powder block later.

The plant removes stone, sand, soil and plant debris, which is where much of the insoluble contamination sits. Metals that dissolve along with the resin are not removed by filtration, so the heavy metal result of the finished product depends largely on the raw lot. We advise testing each raw lot for lead, arsenic, mercury and cadmium before purchase, and testing every finished batch before release.

Cost is driven by five things: the batch size, whether you stop at resin or go on to powder, SS 304 against SS 316 contact parts, the filtration stages you need, and manual valves against PLC control. Because those swing the figure widely, we do not publish a single price. Send your batch quantity and final form and a specification sheet with a price comes back within one working day.

Typically a consent to establish and consent to operate from your state pollution control board, a factory licence, and a product licence that matches how the shilajit is sold: an AYUSH manufacturing licence for Ayurvedic products, or an FSSAI licence where it is sold as a food or nutraceutical. Export buyers usually add GMP or third party audit requirements of their own. We supply the equipment list and layout details that these applications ask for.

Yes. Erection, process and utility piping, electrical tie-in, water trial, the first shilajit batch and operator training at your site are part of the supply scope. Our own crew travels from the Saharanpur works with the consignment and stays until the plant has run a full batch on your own raw shilajit.

A batch resin line with dissolving, filtration and concentration ships in 8 to 10 weeks from order confirmation. A full turnkey line with powder drying and PLC control takes 12 to 14 weeks. We dispatch to every state in India and export the same plants overseas, with sea worthy packing, marine insurance and documentation handled from our side.
