1LB Apollo Top Fill Closed Loop Extractor

1LB Top Fill Closed Loop Extraction System

The 1lb closed loop hydrocarbon extractor performs incredible botanical extraction within a sealed, vacuumed system. With the help of a top-fill input, solvent washes through the material column, collecting oils as it passes over the material. The oil-bearing solvent is collected in the collection base under the material column. Once collected, the solvent is distilled and recovered, leaving the oils in the collection base. This is a passive unit that utilizes pressure differences created by manipulating temperature to move solvent.

***Note: Solvent not included with systems unless ordered separately. Any order with butane WILL NOT SHIP EXPEDITED.***

***DISCLAIMER: This unit is intended for LEGAL purposes only, to be used in accordance with local laws and ordinances. Use only in extremely well-ventilated areas. Check with your local fire marshal for guidance when operating indoors.

KEY BENEFITS

• Meets or exceeds all industry listed standards
• Versatile in running butane, propane, and other blended solvents
• Perfect for /production facilities
• Faster run times and less degradation in the process

Extractor Configuration:

• Explorer: Our standard, most economical setup, perfect for the entry level extractor on a budget. Comes with a welded bottom base and standard LP tank. This model has minimal features to keep cost low, while providing the necessary equipment to get the job done.
• Professional: This model features upgrades to help produce a higher quality extract. Solvent is input into the material column with a showerhead endcap, ensuring the full material column is saturated with solvent. The Professional comes with a sleeved spool, allowing users to utilize dry ice to freeze the material column. This will help lock in fats and waxes to the material. An inline ball valve is used to allow solvent to be suspended in the material column, as well as closing the collection base off during recovery. Upon completion of the run, extract removal is made simple by adding a removable bottom to the collection base.
• Compression: The Compression series is a modified upgrade to the Apollo model. The compression series extractor uses sanitary fittings on the material column and collection base to ensure sanitary connections on all areas that may come in contact with your extract. It features a larger bore on valves and hoses, jacketed collection base, and a stainless steel LP tank. The compression series boasts increased efficiency on both solvent input and recovery by bumping up all valves and lines to 3/8” JIC. The stainless steel LP tank is able to be opened and cleaned, making solvent contamination a non-issue. The jacketed collection gives precision during recovery, allowing a heated fluid to be circulated around the base. This method keeps temperature both accurate and consistent. *NOTE* This model requires a heater circulator or chiller

*Note: Column capacity may vary depending on the density of packed material and packing density. Capacity is calculated using the industry standard of 4.2g/in3. This is the upper limit for column capacity. Low density, uncut, and/or lightly packed material can reduce capacity by 50%. For best results, we recommend to tightly pack coarse ground material.
