A Herbal Extraction Plant is a system designed to extract active ingredients, essential oils, or other valuable compounds from herbs and plants. These plants are widely used in industries like pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food, and nutraceuticals to produce medicines, supplements, and natural products.
Feed Handling→ (Raw herbs are received and transferred for processing)
Cleaning / Washing → (Removal of dust, dirt, and foreign particles using water jets or washing tanks)
Moisture Removal → (Drying the cleaned herbs using tray dryers or hot air dryers to achieve optimal moisture levels)
Size Reduction → (Herbs are crushed or ground using crushers, grinders, or pulverisers’ to increase surface area for extraction)
Extraction → (Active compounds are extracted using solvents (water, ethanol, oils), steam, or supercritical fluids in an extraction vessel or reactor)r)
Filtration → (Solid residues are separated from the extract using filter presses, centrifuges, or membrane filters)
Evaporation → (Solvent is removed from the extract using evaporators or distillation columns, concentrating the product)
Product Drying → (Final extract is dried using vacuum dryers, spray dryers etc.to achieve powder or semi-solid form)
Storage & Packaging→ (Dried extract is stored in tanks to preserve quality & Final product is packed for distribution or further processing)
Cleaning (Washing tanks, spray nozzles)
Drying (initial) (Tray dryers, hot air dryers)
Agitators / Mixers (Ensures uniform solvent contact for better yield)
Size Reduction (Crushers, grinders, pulverisers’
Extraction (Extraction vessels, reactors (solvent/steam/supercritical))
Filtration (Filter presses, centrifuges, membrane filters)
Evaporation (Falling film evaporators, rotary evaporators, distillation units)
Final Drying (Vacuum dryers, spray dryer etc.)
Final Collection Tanks & Packaging Line (Safely stores purified extract for packaging or distribution) |
