EVO Extracts has created a disruptive technology that is unique in the plant oil extraction industry. We are able to extract WITHOUT the use of solvents.
Current extraction processes use some combination of high pressures, solvents, and combustible substances which are time and energy inefficient and unnecessarily costly.
Our patent-pending, continuous flow process:
reduces time spent and steps required, with minimal labour costs associated with its use
fractions multiple constituents simultaneously (terpenes, THC and CBD); with the ability to further separate and distill specific compounds if required
produces high quality, bioavailable oil
eliminates the need to use, store and handle solvents or safeguard against the explosion of combustible gases
eliminates the need to refine the oil after extraction to remove the lipids (fats) and waxes, all of which lower the purity of the oil
minimizes and neutralizes waste
is “green” and energy-efficient
takes little space, is easy to disassemble for cleaning, and has a state of the art monitoring system
can manage a continuous feed of 10-15 pounds per hour, and can easily be scaled to meet larger production needs
Thanks for the quick replies. We just filed our patent so we will be able to discuss in more detail and share. We are employing vapour deposition. This has been “tried” in the past because it’s a very efficient and dependable process but NOT with organic matter. What the problem has been is with heat diffusion which creates side reactions and selectivity because heat “travels” around too easily. However, we have designed a system with full heat separation and dynamic cooling while keeping the vapour mobile so we control when it gets deposited in each fraction bulb. Yes, we are able to control temperature very precisely throughout the process. THC fractioned first (if necessary) and then each step in the process can be tweaked. Minimal waste as well and our energy consumption is about 84% less than other systems.
It’s far more sophisticated than that. There is a heated screw “conveyor” but the heat control is segmented and insulated along each section. Computer calibrated and cooled. The temperature does not vary by more than 1 or 2 degrees (if that).
I agree - but it’s definitely appropriate in this case. We have taken an accepted and tested technology and thought outside the box to apply it to organics. We’ve done proof of concept “runs” and analytics and it works. What has been missing in this tech with organics is the ability to control heat and flow so that it can be scaled to commercial levels. We can do that - we have a 10-15 lb/hour unit now and there is nothing in the engineering that says we can’t do 100 lbs/hour.
I see they are closed down (or at least no website anymore) and a lot of lay-offs. Can you tell me more detail about what they were claiming so I know exactly how to answer your questions?
So then this is direct distillation from plant material essentially?
That would be interesting and something I’ve looked at several times but as far as claiming you can separate cannabinoids and dewax with it i would like to see some proof!
Notice the Current Assignee as well as expiration date.
Cant dewax with it, maybe with proper condensation conditions though.
The patent does say the cannabinoid fraction is low in wax/lipids, or something to that affect.
Hope the OP’s is as claimed or similar to the patent. Ive always thought this had huge potential. I actually just recently came up with simple design that could be adapted to most every cls.
depends on what your trying to dissolve and what polarity you manipulate it to, its way more versatile than most think.
