EXTRAS INCLUDED IN THE PRICE

All available for our systems.

All options included in the price.

All supercritical CO2 systems need some ancillary equipment to work. We provide all the equipment necessary to operate with systems operating with CO2 in the supercritical state at no additional cost to the customer. All the equipment that are listed below are included in the price.

Chiller

Systems operating with supercritical CO2 need a chiller to liquefy the gaseous CO2 during the recirculation process or to condense some aqueous compounds in the cooled separator or cold trap. The chiller also keeps the liquid CO2 in thermodynamic equilibrium inside the working tank (accumulator), ensuring the continuous operation of the machinery 24/7. Finally, through a special exchanger, it allows the diaphragm metering pump to avoid cavitation and relative loss of efficiency. The system will switch on/off automatically the chiller. The chiller is included in the price for all Lab and Production series systems.

Heater

Systems operating with supercritical CO2 need a boiler (or heater) to produce hot water, necessary to transform liquid CO2 into supercritical CO2. In addition, the boiler, producing hot water at a given temperature, will allow you to set the process parameters of the extractors, the fractionation tower and the gravimetric and cylindrical separators. It is also essential to power the evaporators exchangers which, positioned after the pressure control valves, recover the heat loss caused by the Joule-Thomson effect. The boiler is included in the price for all Lab and Production series systems.

Hoist

Systems operating with supercritical CO2 need a canister to guarantee the absence of cross contamination and cleaness of the extractor. GMP regualtion requires baskets in which to put the raw material and seal it before inserting it into the extractor. To remove the extractor lid, unloading and reloading the basket, we supply an electric hoist that lifts up to 250 kg in weight. The hoist is equipped with a wired control with which to control the operation of the hoist. The hoist is included in the price for all Lab and Production series systems.

Stainless steel cabinet

To be compliant with GMP directives, we supply a stainless steel electrical cabinet. The electrical cabinet is included in the price for all Lab, Production and Industrial series systems.

Cold trap

Systems operating with supercritical CO2 need a cold trap to condense all the micro drops of water carried by the gaseous CO2. In this way the water extracted from the raw material will not recirculate in the hydraulic circuit. The cold trap is included in the price for all Lab, Production and Industrial series systems.

Liquid/solid to gas phase separator filter.

Systems operating with supercritical CO2 need a Liquid/solid to gas phase separator filter to guarantee that solid parts such as waxes or paraffin or liquid parts such as oil or extract can return to the circulation in the extraction system. Liquid/solid to gas phase separator filter is included in the price for all Lab, Production and Industrial series systems.

Liquid CO2 level meter

Systems operating with supercritical CO2 need a Liquid CO2 level meter to manage the automatic CO2 filling. Knowing exactly the level of liquid CO2 in the working tank is very important because it allows to automate the automatic filling by taking fresh CO2 from the cylinders or from the cryogenic tank. The control takes place continuously from 0 to 100%. Liquid CO2 level meter is included in the price for all Lab, Production and Industrial series systems.
