Zach we have a R800 en route from a partner in Colorado. To clarify our needs here and the thought process i will explain what we’re working with currently and some of the pros and cons of that equipment.
Herbolea Solvent Free Enzymatic extraction
Pros:
- low energy
- solvent free
- preservation of acidic forms
- ability to run plants wet without any cooling necessary
Cons:
- high consumable cost
- low efficiency (we are seeing the efficiency at roughly 60)
- expensive
Behemoth R800 Hydrocarbon unit
Pros:
- wide SKU range for production
- high throughput
- high efficiency
- low maintenance
- low consumable cost
Cons:
- combustible solvents
- labor needed
- high compliance needs
- energy costs
Both of these machines have merits and faults. What i am looking for now is something much larger that is more geared towards industrial scale.
