The expansion of Line 2 extract production facilities has tripled SHI’s extract production capacity, allowing for the production of 7,000 tons of liquid extract, 500 tons of thick extract, and 700 tons of dry extract per year. With this production capacity, SHI is ready to ensure the availability of extraction materials for both its needs and the domestic and international markets.
The extraction facilities for Line 1 and Line 2 feature dynamic extraction machines, low-temperature vacuum equipment, sterilization units utilizing Ultra High Temperature (UHT) systems, liquid extract purification units, vacuum belt dryers, vacuum dry chambers, and spray dryers.
Both extraction lines at SHI can extract parts of plants such as leaves, flowers, bark, roots, seeds, or fruits that have health benefits. These extract products are used as raw materials for the food, beverage, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, traditional medicine, and cosmetic industries.
In 2022, SHI introduced 2 new production units, namely bioethanol and essential oil production units. The bioethanol unit produces food-grade ethyl alcohol with a content of 96% derived from molasses. Ethyl alcohol is used to meet internal and external needs. The bioethanol unit has a production capacity of 7,000 liters per day or 2,200,000 liters per year. This ethyl alcohol production machine has been designed to efficient electricity consumption and is operated automatically with Programmable Logic Control (PLC) system. The distillation process can be monitored through displays on the Human Machine Interface (HMI) screen so that operation and control does not require a lot of manpower (operators).
While the essential oil production unit has a production capacity of 600 tons per year to meet local and export market demand, including demand from the United States and Europe. Essential oils are products of secondary metabolites obtained from the distillation of plant parts such as stems, leaves, flowers, bark, fruit, and roots. Essential oil products produced include patchouli oil, ginger oil, citronella oil, nutmeg oil, turmeric oil, kaffir lime oil, and many more. Essential oils are widely used as flavorings and fragrances in the flavor fragrance, food and beverage, cosmetic and personal care and homecare industries.
