High capacity cannabis cryo-ethanol extraction system

Accelerate your extraction efficiency with a system that drastically reduces processing time from days to mere hours, ensuring high-purity cannabinoid outputs while seamlessly integrating solvent recovery and decarboxylation into your production line.

Extracts and Reclaims Solvents for Cannabis Processing

The CryoEXS 400 from Root Sciences is an innovative cryo-ethanol extraction system designed for high-capacity cannabis and hemp processing. This all-in-one solution integrates extraction, solvent recovery, and decarboxylation to streamline operations and reduce processing times. Utilizing a cryogenic approach, it efficiently extracts cannabinoids while leaving lipids behind, eliminating the need for winterization.

With a throughput of up to 400 pounds per 8-hour shift, the CryoEXS 400 caters to large-scale extraction companies and cannabis producers looking to optimize their workflow. The system offers automated, continuous operation through advanced sensors and a touch-screen interface, requiring minimal manpower for monitoring.

State-of-the-art energy efficiency is achieved by recapturing latent heat from cold ethanol post-extraction, resulting in significant utility savings. Constructed for durability, it features stainless steel components that withstand ethanol’s corrosive properties. With compliance to GMP standards, the CryoEXS 400 ensures product quality and safety for biopharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications.

Its modular filtration assembly permits flexible configuration for maintenance ease and element replacement, while a CIP system facilitates thorough cleaning without contamination risks. Tailored engineering support and customizable specifications make this system adaptable to specific processing needs, ensuring seamless integration into any existing production line.
