Hydrocarbon Extraction

15.HX Professional Scale Hydrocarbon Extractor

The 15.HX is an advanced closed-loop, passive recovery hydrocarbon extractor, designed to process up to 15 lbs. of live/cured biomass each cycle.

This fully jacketed system is equipped with internal temperature sensors and a C1D1 compliant tablet for precision cooling to temperatures as low as -60°C. It features an in-line CRC paired with an 85 lbs. stainless steel jacketed surge tank, enabling seamless continuous operation. Its tube-in-shell falling film recovery system, complete with molecular sieves, is optimized for processing fresh biomass efficiently. In addition, integrated load sensors display solvent usage on the explosion-proof tablet.

Crafted in the USA with premium quality materials, every system is backed by a lifetime warranty.
