careddi Introduces Fully Automated Closed-Loop CO2 Extraction System for Plant and Essential Oil Production
JOHNSTOWN, Ohio, Aug. 16, 2013 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- careddi is pleased to announce the launch of the 1500-1L Benchtop CO2 Extraction System http://www.careddi.com/brc/66.htm. The new technology uses approximately 2 pounds of carbon dioxide, runs on 110 volts, is closed loop (recovers CO2 after use) and is fully automated. This 1500-1L is the first of its kind on the market and requires no operator input or supervision other than filling the extractor with plant material, pressing the start button and removing the extracted oil. 1500-1L builds on the successful 1500-1LV platform and is designed to operate in light commercial environments with minimal power requirements. The system comes with its own electric high pressure CO2 pump and temperature control unit, both designed to operate on a standard 110 volt circuit. 1500-1L Benchtop uses Valveless Expansion Technology (VET), also developed by careddi. stream, which has no contraction and no discharge valve to clog the system during operation
"The release of the 1500-1L Benchtop will revolutionize the plant extraction equipment market by making full automation an affordable reality." said Nate Ames, Director of Engineering at careddi. "We continue to hear from our customers that they want to drive start-up and trust that the system will make all the necessary adjustments and run without their intervention. The technology developed and implemented on the new 1500-1L makes this possible. We plan to make similar changes to all of our 1500psi and 5000-psi systems in the next few months."
careddi is committed to the safety of our customers, so we focus on promoting the use of carbon dioxide (CO2 ) for plant extractions.CO2 is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) through FDA approval, it is chemically inert, non-flammable, leaves no toxic residues, is a natural disinfectant, and is carbon neutral, making it an ideal solvent for essential oil extraction. For years, the health and beauty industry, herbal formulation suppliers, perfumers, nutritional and pharmaceutical suppliers have all realized the benefits of CO2 extracted essential oils. All careddi supercritical systems are designed with repeat and/or duplicate safety systems and all vessels are designed and manufactured to meet ASME standards. With over 12 years of design, engineering and manufacturing experience in the vegetable oil extraction equipment industry, we know how to build safe, reliable and efficient systems
