Description
Closed-loop extraction uses solvents to extract cannabinoids. In the closed-loop system, solvent moves from a containment tank into an area where it can wash over the plant material. The closed-loop system recycles the solvent, so it washes over the plant material many times repeatedly.
This washing dissolves the cannabinoids and terpenes from the plant material. The concentrate is then refined, purged of the solvent, and collected.
The Key Benefits of Closed Loop Extraction
• Safety
One key closed-loop extraction benefit is safety. Cannabis industry professionals regard closed-loop systems as the safest way to extract cannabinoids.
Hydrocarbon solvents are flammable, pressurized gases. In closed-loop systems, there are no opportunities for leaks if the equipment is maintained and operated at the appropriate standards. A contained system makes the risk of hazard almost non-existent. In fact, in our several thousand installations, we have never had a client have a safety issue or accident with Precision equipment.
• Efficiency
Another closed loop benefit includes a higher-pressure capacity than open-loop extraction equipment. High pressure allows for maximum extraction of cannabinoids.
In addition to controlling temperature, closed-loop systems are excellent at regulating temperature. Temperature directly controls the solubility of cannabinoids, so it’s essential to be able to control the temperature in the system.
Closed-loop systems also prevent the solvent from being evaporated into the atmosphere and allow the solvent to be used many times without needing to be recharged.
Cost-effectiveness
One huge benefit is that hydrocarbon solvent is unable to leak out into the atmosphere. Equipment operators can reuse the solvent for extraction after extraction. This benefit leads to savings on solvent purchasing costs for businesses.
Higher-quality product
Closed-loop extraction technologies provide exceptional control over pressure and temperature, which offer an opportunity to produce the strongest, purest concentrates available. The vacuum oven removes most or all of the solvent’s residue, so many consumers also regard closed-loop extraction products as the safest to consume.
