Ethanol Extraction Equipment

What Equipment is Used in Extraction?

There are three main types of extraction equipment used in the chemical industry:

-Mixer-settler extractors

-Extraction columns

-Centrifugal extraction equipment

Among them, centrifugal extraction equipment is known as centrifuges and ethanol extraction equipment as well. It mainly refers to a device that used to extract CBD from cannabis plant by ethanol, which is highly efficient and more and more well received.

What is the Ethanol Extraction Equipment?

The ethanol extraction equipment, known as centrifugal extractor as well, is a device that utilizes the centrifugal force to separate liquid and solid particles or components of a liquid mixture. It is initially used for separating the compositions of milk, and now expands into the scientific, medical and other fields. It is an extremely popular and effective solid-liquid extraction technique, and widely used in many fields, such as the chemical engineering, petroleum, food processing, pharmaceutical, mineral processing, carbon, water treatment, nuclear energy industry and shipbuilding, and other fields.

How does an Ethanol Extraction Equipment Work?

The working process of ethanol extraction equipment can be roughly concluded as follows. The centrifuge has a cylinder(drum) that rotates at a high speed, which is usually driven by an electric motor. After the suspension (or emulsion) is added to the drum, it is rapidly driven to rotate at the same speed as the drum, and the components within the mixtures are separated under the function of the centrifugal force and discharged separately. Generally, the higher the drum speed is, the better the separation will be. When the suspension containing fine particles is left still, the suspended particles gradually sink due to the action of the gravitational field. The heavier the particles are, the faster they sink.

Ethanol (Alcohol / Ethyl Alcohol) Extraction

In the process of ethanol extraction, the material is soaked in room or chilled temperature ethanol, which can draws out the terpenes and cannabinoids. Then the residual solvent can be removed by evaporation using heat and vacuum. It can obtain a crude extract. In order to get a purified CBD, CHC or other components, the crude extract can be further distilled and refined. Ethanol is suitable for almost any type of botanical extraction, and it is even regarded as the safest and most effective solvent for extracting cannabis and hemp.

Its benefits can be concluded as follows: 

It can be easily produced, and it is safe and easy to operate.

It possesses an affinity for cannabinoids at cold temperature.

It can dissolve most polar as well as non-polar components.

It can extract quickly as a kind of non-viscous liquid at atmospheric pressure.

It can be efficiently recaptured and then separate the extracted components with a low boiling point.

It doesn’t require dewaxing or winterization if done under cold conditions properly.
