UniCare attaches great importance to the hardware conditions of production equipment and has the largest and most advanced extraction factory in China. The entire production line in UniCare is controlled by a modern, intelligent, automatic control system.
Until now, UniCare has built up two GMP workshops, containing six multi-functional extraction lines, among which there is the only production line for Ginkgo Biloba Extract of acetone process in the whole China. Here are several other production lines including fermentation production lines and Chinese medicine pieces. A total of 30,000 tons of various Chinese medicine plant raw materials can be processed each year.
Annual processing volume capability for crude botanical raw materials, securing high-volume industrial contracts.
Three annular dynamic countercurrent extraction lines (10t & 15t); two multi-functional lines (32 tanks of 6m³ each); one round countercurrent line (10t).
Hosts the sole Ginkgo Biloba Extract acetone process extraction line in China matching stringent EU GMP standards.
Six specialized fermentation tanks (20 tons capacity each) utilized for bio-enzymatic modification and structural transformation of herbals.
A pictorial walkthrough of our industrial extraction columns, sterile cleanrooms, and computerized operations.
How our localized vertical integration mitigates global procurement risks and optimizes costs.
Our factories are positioned strategically near the primary growing zones of Berberis aristata, Phellodendron, and other crucial botanical raw materials. This proximity reduces transport-induced raw degradation, guarantees immediate processing post-harvest, and significantly lowers logistical carbon outputs.
Berberis extraction requires substantial solvent volumes. Our automated factory integrates inline closed-loop solvent recovery systems that capture and recycle up to 98.5% of ethanol/water mediums. This technology significantly minimizes variable costs, transferring raw savings directly to our wholesale contract clients.
By operating within optimized modern industrial botanical parks, we utilize state-mandated steady steam grids and backup cogeneration facilities. This ensures 365-day uninterrupted extraction operations, protecting global buyers from the seasonal supply crunches common with smaller manufacturers.
A rigorous inspection network utilizing industry-leading testing apparatus to guarantee chemical and physical specifications.
United New Life (UniCare) has established a leading and complete quality control system, and strictly controls the high quality of products in accordance with the quality system. With advanced testing instruments and strict control of product quality, we provide every customer with high quality products.

UniCare invests 10% of our annual net profit in research and development. In addition to optimizing and developing the existing natural plant extraction processes, we have also established a professional R&D department for natural fermentation products. By increasing investment in natural fermentation products, we try to break through traditional processes and disrupt industry standards.
UniCare maintains deep cooperation with the Beijing University of Chemical Technology in the field of fermentation, jointly developing and transforming new raw materials for pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and natural health products into high-efficiency, mass-produced commercial solutions.
In order to control raw materials more efficiently and with higher quality, we have established a robust procurement system that extends deep into every piece of planting land. This allows us to trace the raw botanical origins of each batch. Raw material storage conforms to strict quality control guidelines, verifying active ingredient percentages, moisture levels, ash, and heavy metals prior to processing.
To secure the supply chain of critical products, UniCare cooperates with local farmers to establish dedicated ginkgo leaf, epimedium, phellodendron, and olive leaf planting bases. These bases are cultivated in strict accordance with the GACP (Good Agricultural and Collection Practices) management model. Through partnerships with botanical breeding firms, we develop optimized, high-yield hybrid strains to lower processing costs and pass savings on to our clients.
