Quick and Safe Supercritical Fluid Extractor
Supercritical fluid extraction is a green extraction technique used for many applications, including CBD extraction. Many businesses in the cannabis industry favor it because of its unique advantages. Supercritical fluid extractors are designed to get pure, clean, and safe products with a supercritical fluid extraction solvent. It is different from the liquid used by the pressurized liquid extractor.
Why is supercritical fluid better? Because this highly-compressed fluid behaves as gas and liquid at the same time. Above the normal critical temperature and critical pressure, the supercritical fluid expands like gas with a similar density to that of a liquid. Because it diffuses like gas and solvates like a liquid, the extractor delivers higher extraction yields from organic materials such as CBD.
Below are some of the remarkable advantages of using supercritical fluid extractors:
Quick and has greater precision
The system has a unique extractor closure designed for quick batch changeovers. The supercritical fluid extraction process is not only fast but also precise. It can isolate and remove a molecule or compound at a higher degree of precision. Thus, the extracted natural oils are purer.
Cleaner and safer products
During the extraction process, the system is capable of eliminating the contamination in the material. It removes substances such as undesirable odor, tastes, and even allergenic substances, resulting in cleaner and even 100% food-grade products.
The primary drawback of this extraction technique is that the systems or machines have to operate at high pressures to keep the solvent in a supercritical state.
The good news is that companies are offering supercritical fluid extraction systems and other CBD extraction systems for businesses. You can essentially outsource the extraction process to them. They provide turnkey solutions, delivering products ready for immediate use and helping minimize production time and expenditures.
However, not all companies in the cannabis extraction field are the same. If you are looking to partner with one, make sure they use systems that meet the highest standards. See to it that their team has expertise and experience in the cannabis industry and that they have a clear understanding of your requirements and goals.
