1500L Ethanol Extraction Equipment - PURE5™

Benefits of PURE5™ Ethanol THC Extraction Equipment

With PURE5™ Ethanol extraction equipment, you benefit from

• a relatively quick, effective, fully automated, and inexpensive process,
• a highly concentrated extract, making it more potent than extraction by other equipment,
• a safely build extraction system, that can be safely used in food or medical applications,
• an eco-friendly extraction method.

Ethanol extraction is popular for hemp and cannabis extraction because the equipment is relatively inexpensive, efficient, and yields a high-cannabinoid concentrated product.

Ethanol is ideal for those looking to produce high-potency extracts, such as CBD or THC distillate, isolate or crude.

Ethanol extraction equipment is also a preferred method for quality control in the cannabis industry, as it can produce a wide variety of products at large-scale volumes with precise levels of cannabinoids, and other semi polar compounds.

It also allows for quick turnarounds, making it an attractive choice for producers.

More Information on Ethanol (EtOH) Extraction, and How Does It Work?

Ethanol (EtOH) solvent extraction is an efficient, clean, and safe method used for the optimal extraction of cannabinoids from the cannabis plants without sacrificing efficiency.

It utilizes pure ethanol as a solvent to break down the cannabis biomass material and separate the desired compounds from unwanted materials.

The process begins by soaking the plant at cold temperature in ethyl alcohol, which allows the desired molecules to dissolve in the ethanol. 

The mixture is then centrifuged, filtered and heated for removing solvent and any impurities and fully evaporating the ethanol from the extract. 

Finally, the remaining solution is cooled down, resulting in a concentrated extract that contains all the desired cannabinoids from the original plant material.

Ethanol Extraction vs. Hydrocarbon Extraction

Ethanol is much safer than hydrocarbons and other solvents. Compared to hydrocarbon systems, ethanol is safer to operate with because it is not explosive and less toxic.

In addition, it can provide complete extraction of various compounds from the cannabis plant, which is why it has become so popular for CBD and THC. Ethanol-extracted products tend to have a higher level of cannabinoids.
