Solventless terpene extractor for cannabis processing
Preserve the most volatile aromatic compounds during extraction, enhancing the flavor and potency of your final product with this advanced solventless terpene extraction solution.
Extracts and Isolates Solventless Terpenes
The STX 90 from Root Sciences is a solventless terpene extraction system designed to preserve the most delicate terpene profiles in cannabis and hemp products. Utilizing a patented cryogenic trap technology derived from semiconductor industry expertise, this extractor efficiently isolates strain-specific terpene isolates before cannabinoid extraction. Operable in pre-processing and processing departments, it gently evaporates volatile terpenes from both dry and fresh-frozen biomass under deep vacuum conditions, without solvents, ensuring maximum yield and purity.
Capable of processing up to 90 pounds per 8-hour shift, the STX 90 features a 90-liter biomass vessel supporting various batch sizes (5-30+ lb) for versatile production requirements. A fully-automated, industrial-scale system, its 15-inch HMI allows you to program tailored extraction recipes with minimal operator intervention, ensuring consistent quality and operational compliance. The system’s integration into your production line is seamless, supporting energy efficiency by optimizing precise thermal control during extraction.
Built with stainless steel to resist corrosion and designed for easy cleaning and maintenance, it supports compliance with industry standards. Perfect for cannabis processors, hemp extraction facilities, and vape cartridge manufacturers, the STX 90 delivers enhanced product quality by maintaining the aromatic integrity of your extracts, ultimately enabling the creation of full spectrum, terpene-rich products. Additionally, Root Sciences offers customization options and engineering support to tailor the system to your specific processing needs.
