Ethanol alcohol extraction system for botanical compounds

Achieve high-purity extractions efficiently with a closed-loop ethanol system that combines alcohol extraction and centrifugation, designed to streamline production times and maximize yield for intricate botanical processes.

Extracts and Separates Botanical Compounds with Precision

The CUP Series Ethanol Alcohol Extraction Centrifuge Platform from Delta Separations is designed to streamline the extraction of botanical compounds with precision and efficiency. Utilizing a closed-loop ethanol extraction system combined with mechanical centrifugation, it maximizes yield especially for cannabis oils, CBD isolates, and botanical extracts. The platform offers three models—CUP-5, CUP-15, and CUP-30—each tailored to different batch sizes and capable of processing up to 600 pounds of biomass per eight-hour shift. Automation is seamless with programmable sequences and a PLC-controlled system, ensuring consistent outcomes and integration with existing plant operations. By optimizing energy use and facilitating up to 98% ethanol recovery, it enhances both solvent efficiency and operational cost-effectiveness. Constructed from 304 and 316L sanitary stainless steel, the platform withstands corrosive environments and adheres to compliance standards, being UL/CUL 1389 certified and ISO 9001 compliant. Low maintenance demands are supported by features like controlled alcohol residence time and vapor-tight, pressure-free vessels, enabling ease of cleaning and reduced downtime.

Benefits

  • Enhances extraction yield with precise ethanol processing and high-purity outputs.
  • Reduces operational costs through efficient solvent recovery and reuse.
  • Simplifies operation with single-operator control and automated cycle programming.
  • Minimizes downtime with easy cleaning and maintenance features.
