Winterization reactor for botanical extraction
When extracting botanicals, ensuring a pure and high-quality final product often involves precise winterization. This process separates fats, waxes, and lipids from plant extracts, a critical step in avoiding impurities in final formulations, especially in the production of oils and tinctures.
Optimizes botanical extraction with superior temperature control.
The Winterization Package 100L Dual-Jacketed 316L SST Reactor from Across International is designed specifically for botanical extraction. This reactor features a dual-jacketed system and pharmaceutical-grade 316L stainless steel, ensuring optimal temperature control and chemical resistance. With a volume capacity of 100 liters, it includes a sealed outer insulation jacket for enhanced temperature performance. The reactor’s interior is electro-polished, significantly reducing surface roughness and improving vacuum pressures, out-gassing rates, and pumping speed, which prolongs the lifespan of the reactor. Included are dual collection tanks with large sight glasses for easy draining without vacuum loss, and a shell and tube heat exchanger with 70 tubes to deliver the best condensing results. The system can be powered by either an electric stirring motor, compliant with UL and CSA standards, or a pneumatic motor approved for use with various solvents like Acetone and Ethanol. The equipment is mounted on a heavy-duty stainless-steel frame with swivel casters for mobility. Across International offers customization options for various impeller types and motor configurations to suit specific application needs.
