Closed-Loop Hydrocarbon Extractor

Our closed-loop hydrocarbon extraction equipment presents from the lab scale to commercial grade.

Hydrocarbon extraction usually utilizes butane, propane, and isobutane as the solvent to extract cannabinoids, which preserves temperature-sensitive terpenes from the concentrate due to the solvent’s low boiling point. Moreover, with closed-loop structure, the flammable and combustible solvent gas will not release into the atmosphere, thus safe to operate.

  • Highly promised safety, and premium vessels' quality and excellent thickness

  • Pre-inspected by water-pressure testing and x-ray radiographic testing

  • Flexible setup with casters, easy to fix and move.

  • Each column is equipped with sight glasses to view the extraction process.

  • The sieve and coil ensure the solvent recovery effect and improve the solvent utilization rate.

  • The jacketed material column is with a 50-micron sintering filter and collection vessel on the bottom, for easy collection.

  • Vacuum jacketed on the solvent vessel with internal cooling coil, increasing the heat transfer area.

The Extraction Output

The output is any cannabis extract that was produced by a closed loop hydrocarbon extractor that uses butane as the primary solvent. Those concentrates encompass different specific types that vary in consistency, color, texture, and cannabinoids contents. They include badder, wax, crumble, sauce, shatter, tincture, edibles, and more. They are affected by many factors such as the strain, techniques, production process, and so forth.
