Ethanol Extraction
Ethanol extraction offers an efficient and versatile method for cannabis processing, delivering high yields and preserving valuable cannabinoids and terpenes. Designed with safety and compliance in mind, these systems are suitable for both small-scale and industrial production. Ethanol extraction is a cost-effective and reliable option for processors seeking consistent results with scalable capabilities.
Light Hydrocarbon Extraction
Hydrocarbon extraction is a reliable solution for producing high-quality cannabis concentrates like shatter, wax, and live resin. These systems use hydrocarbons such as butane or propane to efficiently extract cannabinoids and terpenes while preserving flavor and potency. Advanced closed-loop designs ensure safety and precise control over temperature and pressure, making them ideal for consistent and scalable production.
Solventless Extraction
Solventless extraction equipment provides a natural, chemical-free way to produce pure and flavorful cannabis concentrates. Using mechanical methods like heat, pressure, or ice water, it preserves the plant’s natural profiles while delivering safe, terpene-rich products. Ideal for craft and health-focused processors, solventless systems prioritize purity and simplicity.
How It Works: Step-by-Step Extraction Process for Maximum Efficiency and Purity
At AG-Optimists, we believe that the key to producing the highest-quality extracts lies in a well-optimized extraction process. Our closed-loop extraction systems are designed to ensure that every step is executed with precision, maximizing yields and maintaining the purity of the extracted compounds. Here’s a breakdown of how our process works, from start to finish:
Preparing and Loading the Plant Material
The extraction process begins by carefully loading the raw plant material—whether it’s cannabis or botanicals—into the extraction chamber. Our systems are designed to handle various types of plant material with ease, ensuring even distribution and optimal processing.
Key Benefits:
- Maximizes the surface area for solvent contact.
- Prepares the material for efficient extraction.
Temperature Control and Solvent Circulation
Once the plant material is loaded, precise temperature control is activated with AG-Optimists’ state-of-the-art chillers and heaters. Keeping temperatures as low as -112°F (-80°C) ensure desired compounds like cannabinoids and terpenes are extracted, while unwanted lipids and chlorophyll are left behind.
Key Benefits:
- Preserves the purity of essential oils and cannabinoids.
- Prevents the extraction of impurities for cleaner, higher-quality extracts.
Extraction
With the temperature properly regulated, the solvent is introduced to the plant material in a controlled, closed-loop system. This step dissolves the target compounds, including essential oils, cannabinoids, and terpenes, while the closed-loop extraction design ensures minimal solvent loss and maximum recovery.
Key Benefits:
- Closed-loop system reduces solvent waste.
- Efficient extraction of desired compounds.
Filtration
After the extraction process, the solvent containing the dissolved plant compounds is passed through a filtration system. This step ensures that any remaining impurities, waxes, or solids are removed, leaving behind a clean extract ready for further refinement or immediate use.
Key Benefits:
- Guarantees a cleaner extract free from unwanted materials.
- Optimizes the quality of the final product.
Solvent Wash and Recovery
Once the filtration process is complete, the solvent is separated from the extracted compounds in the wash phase. The solvent is then recovered through a distillation process, ready to be reused in the next extraction cycle. This process reduces waste and ensures cost-effective operations.
Key Benefits:
- Recycles solvent for future extractions.
- Minimizes costs and maximizes efficiency.
Collection of Extracted Compounds
The final step in the process is the collection of the extracted essential oils, cannabinoids, or other valuable compounds. Depending on the target product, the extract can be further processed into vape cartridges, tinctures, or other concentrates. Our systems ensure that you get consistent, high-quality results with each run.
Key Benefits:
- Produces pure, high-quality extracts ready for use or further refinement.
- Ensures consistent results with each extraction.
