The triple extractor configuration is the most flexible configuration in an SCF system. The machine’s flexibility is enhanced by our automation-by-recipe process. It can be configured automatically as:1. Semi-Continuous: System runs one vessel after another automatically but pauses between … [Read more...] about Hightech’s Triple Extractor Configuration Provides Maximum Flexibility & Maximizes Throughput

Operator safety is a paramount concern! Lids can be very heavy and difficult to manage. In keeping with firm EU safety standards, Hightech Extracts equips all extractor vessels over 100 Liters with robotic lid handling included. … [Read more...] about Robotic Lid Removal

Pump Flow The perfect sizing was done after the analysis of a million dozed processes data tag and efficiency evaluation. You can see the results of our efforts in this surface plot. In our systems we've found the best combination of Process Pressure, CO2 Flow / Extractor Volume ratio … [Read more...] about Our Pumps are Sized for Optimal Performance

The double extractor system gives you a great advantage: semi-continuous extraction. This kind of extraction means that the process never stops. Semi-continuous extraction reduces downtime and bacterial contamination in the system. The CO2 flows continuously in the circuit, this Avoids Accumulation … [Read more...] about Double Extractors for Semi-Continuous Extraction

The cyclonic separator is different compared to the gravimetric separator — while S1 works by gravity force, S2 works by centrifugal force. The fluid moves very quickly, creating a vortex inside the vessel. The fluid continues to spin and the particles of extract begin to separate moving toward the … [Read more...] about Our Cyclonic Separator Uses Centrifugal Force

Recycling The condenser is essential in CO2 recirculation. The condenser is a piece of apparatus or equipment that can be used to condense, or change the physical state of a substance, from its gaseous to its liquid state. We use a double-pipe configuration in small systems (up to 48-liter) and a … [Read more...] about How Condensers Work to Recirculate CO2

Our extractors don't use piston pumps or compressors, we use diaphragm metering pumps only. Although the cost is higher compared to a simple gas booster or piston pump, the advantages are considerable. In fact, diaphragm metering pumps are not affected by supercritical fluid because process fluids … [Read more...] about Why We Use Membrane Pumps

Triple Extractor While in the simple semi continuous extraction the system is equipped with two extraction vessels, for semi-continuous serial extraction the system is equipped with three extraction vessels. Taking advantage of the typical flowers and leaves extraction kinetic, the intelligent … [Read more...] about Triple Extractors for Semi-Continuous Serial Extraction

Quick Closing System Quick opening cover design needs only one-eighth of a turn rotation for sealing. Ideal for high-pressure operations requiring repetitive opening/closing. The "Clover Leaf" closure reactors provide maximum ease for quick opening or closing of the cover. The cover is simply … [Read more...] about Rapid Opening/Closing in Less Than a Second!
