Extraction equipment is essential for the efficient processing of many materials. It helps to separate and collect substances from a mixture, such as oil from water. This process helps to refine certain products and make them more pure. Extraction equipment also serves to reduce waste and costs associated with other forms of material separation. Different types of extraction equipment are used in a variety of industries and applications. In cannabis extraction, different solvents are used for different processes, which create different end products.

Butane Extraction Equipment

Butane extraction equipment is commonly used as it provides a safe and efficient way to extract oils from plant materials with a smaller initial investment. In addition, the end product with butane extraction is often not filtered or distilled. This creates a full spectrum oil that is often higher in quality due to an increased amount of terpenes and flavonoids. This creates a better smelling and tasting end product like live resin concentrates. Butane extraction equipment is required to be located inside of a class 1 division 1 extraction room. C1D1 labs are designed specifically for Butane extraction, providing users with a compliant, contained environment to perform their work safely. This high level of safety is beneficial in both industrial and laboratory settings. C1D1 Labs provides the highest quality extraction rooms with digital control panels, optional fire ratings, explosion proof lighting, gas sensors and more.

Ethanol Extraction Equipment

Ethanol extraction is another type of extraction that is becoming increasingly popular due to its cost efficiency, when it comes to high production facilities interested in creating the end product of distillate. This is common for the hemp industry, or for vape carts in a medicinal or recreational facility. Centrifuges are used to wash and dry the biomass in cold ethanol solvent. This is the most common ethanol extraction equipment used as it allows the user to pull bags of biomass out of the unit without dripping solvent. That solution is then filtered with the C1D1 Labs 3 stage filtration skid, and sent through the X-Spiral membrane for solvent recovery. Once filtered, and separated. The oil can go through final solvent recovery stages and decarboxylation while being prepped for distillation. Depending on the quality of oil, and preparation of that oil prior to distillation, the oil may require one or two passes through a short path distillation skid or a wiped film evaporator. Please feel free to contact us if you are interested to learn more about this process or purchase ethanol extraction equipment.

Picking the Right Extraction Equipment

Extraction equipment is an essential part of success in a laboratory and is a crucial part of building a business plan around processing. Different types of extraction equipment are available to meet unique requirements and needs, and most importantly budget. Allowing users to safely and efficiently extract materials from a variety of biomass. By using the right type of extraction equipment for their application, users can maximize safety, efficiency and cost-effect and create a positive ROI business with high quality end products.
