The Curcumin Extraction Machine from Xi'an Bioland is a commercial-grade plant separation device that was made to separate high-purity curcuminoids from turmeric rhizomes. Our equipment solves the unique problems caused by curcumin's inability to dissolve in water and its sensitivity to heat by using modern ultrasonic-assisted extraction (UAE) and careful temperature control. The system works at low temperatures (40–60°C) to protect bioactive compounds and improves extraction yield by 50–500% compared to old ways. Each extraction cycle only takes 24 to 40 minutes, which is more than two thirds less time than traditional methods. The machine has a full PLC control system, an explosion-proof setup that can be chosen, and a design that meets GMP and FDA standards. All parts that come into touch with materials are made of high-quality SS316L stainless steel, and there are modular choices for solvent recovery, CIP cleaning, and automatic discharge systems.
Choosing the right extraction partner means more than just purchasing equipment. It means investing in your production success.
We've worked hard for more than 15 years to make plant extraction technology better. Around the world, our engineering team has made unique solutions for production lines that extract stevia, propolis, capsaicin, curcumin, and mushrooms.
It's important that you feel calm. That's why we have certificates from CE, ISO, UL, and SGS. From design to operation, every system has to follow strict GMP guidelines. This makes sure that your end product meets all international standards for food and drug safety.
There are different needs for output. Our OEM/ODM services provide custom process solutions, such as planning the setup of the workshop and setting up the equipment. Standard models are ready in 5–7 days, while customized systems take 30 business days to ship.
On this trip, you're never by yourself. We do full installation, setup, and training for operators. Our technical experts keep an eye on your project and send you picture and video reports every week. You'll get full inspection materials before the shipment, or you can set up an on-site Factory Acceptance Test (FAT).
Our guarantee lasts for one year and includes free upkeep for life. After installation, a specialized expert team is still there to help you get the most out of your crops and solve problems as your business grows.

The Curcumin Extraction Machine uses multiple types of extraction methods to get the most beneficial compounds back while keeping heat-sensitive curcuminoids safe.
Ultrasonic waves with a frequency of 20 to 40 kHz make cavitation bubbles in the solvent. When these bubbles pop, they make tiny jets that break the cell walls of turmeric. This mechanical motion is a lot better at getting rid of curcumin molecules that are stuck than just soaking them.
At controlled temperatures (40–60°C), food-grade ethanol or other acceptable solvents can break down the curcuminoids once the cell walls are broken. The jacketed tank keeps the exact temperature so that the active chemicals don't break down.
The mixture of extract and liquid goes through precision filtering to get rid of any solid leftovers. The liquid then goes into a multistage evaporation device. The solvent is slowly taken away under pressure, which concentrates the oleoresin that is high in curcumin.
Solvent vapour that has been evaporated goes through a dual-condenser device, which turns it back into a liquid. This recovered solvent is used again in the process, which achieves recovery rates of over 95% and greatly lowers both running costs and environmental effect.
Step 1: Raw Material Preparation
To get the most extraction surface area, dried turmeric rhizomes are ground into a 20–60 mesh powder.
Step 2: Loading and Pre-Treatment
The extraction jar is filled with powder. To get the liquid to work better, the machine may do pre-wetting or deaeration.
Step 3: Ultrasonic-Assisted Extraction
When a solvent is added, ultrasonic sensors turn on and quickly break up the structures of cells. For 24 to 40 minutes, the extraction takes place at 40 to 60°C.
Step 4: Solid-Liquid Separation
Automatic filter systems separate the spent material from the curcumin-rich extract liquid as the mixture goes through them.
Step 5: Concentration
The extract goes into evaporators, where the solvent is removed in a vacuum at low temperatures. This leaves behind concentrated turmeric oleoresin.
Step 6: Solvent Recovery
As the vapour moves through the condensers, the liquid solution is collected and saved for use in later runs.
Step 7: Final Processing (Optional)
Additional purification, crystallization, or drying steps can be integrated to produce standardized curcumin powder meeting pharmaceutical specifications.
Make curcumin that is pharmaceutical-grade (95% pure) for anti-inflammatory and antioxidant API preparations. The method effectively gets rid of lipids and terpenes to separate the pure curcuminoid profiles that are needed for medical uses.
Meet the huge need for products with high absorption of curcumin. Standardized amounts of curcumin, demethoxycurcumin, and bisdemethoxycurcumin can be extracted for use in pills, tablets, and liquids.
Make turmeric oleoresin so that it can be used as an E100 natural yellow colourant in processed foods, drinks, dairy, and sweets. The method strikes a mix between keeping the colour value and standardizing the flavour.
Curcumin can be extracted and added to skin care products, where its antioxidant qualities help make anti-aging and brightening goods.
Universities and R&D centres can use laboratory and pilot-scale models to come up with new ways to remove plants and test out new uses for plants.
At Xi'an Bioland, quality isn't negotiable. Every system undergoes rigorous verification:
We offer Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT), which let you check how well the extraction works with real raw materials before they are shipped.
FAQ
Q: How does ultrasonic extraction compare to traditional reflux methods?
A: Ultrasonic cavitation physically ruptures cell walls in minutes, whereas reflux relies on slow thermal diffusion over hours. This yields 50–500% higher efficiency and better preserves heat-sensitive curcuminoids.
Q: What solvent recovery rate can I expect?
A: Our three-stage evaporation system recovers ≥95% of ethanol or other solvents, significantly reducing operational costs and environmental discharge.
Q: Can the machine process fresh turmeric or only dried powder?
A: Industrial efficiency requires dried, ground powder (20–60 mesh). Fresh rhizomes contain excessive moisture that interferes with solvent efficiency and extraction kinetics.
Q: How do you prevent extract "caking" inside the vessel?
A: We employ optimized agitation systems and jacketed temperature control to prevent curcumin polymerization or adhesion to vessel walls during processing.
Q: What purity levels are achievable?
A: Depending on your configuration and post-processing modules, the system can produce oleoresins or crystalline curcumin at up to 95% purity, verified by HPLC analysis.
Q: Is explosion-proof configuration necessary?
A: If you're using flammable solvents like ethanol, explosion-proof motors and electrical panels (ATEX-rated) are essential for safety and regulatory compliance.
Q: What's included in your after-sales support?
A: You receive a one-year warranty, lifetime maintenance access, remote troubleshooting, spare parts supply, and optional on-site technical visits.
