Equipment Range

Six Equipment Lines For One Production Chain

Each line is built to feed the next. Extract with CO2 or cold ethanol, dewax through winterization, refine on short path distillation, and control the process on laboratory equipment from our second factory.

Solvent free CO2 Supercritical Fluid Extraction Equipment Solvent-free extraction with food-grade CO2. One extractor, two separators, 50MPa design pressure, recycled CO2. Explore 2 machines

Steam distillation Essential Oil Extraction Machine Steam distillation plants from 10L to 50L for flowers, leaves, wood, citrus peel, resin and spice. Explore 4 machines

Ultrasonic assisted Normal and High Temperature Solvent Extraction Machine Counter flow and ultrasonic assisted solvent extraction systems for herb and botanical actives. Explore Engineered per project

Dewaxing Winterization Machine Whole winterization systems that chill, hold, filter and recover solvent to remove waxes and lipids from crude extract. Explore Engineered per project

Down to -75°C Low Temperature Ethanol Extraction Machine Cold ethanol extraction systems operating down to -75°C so waxes and chlorophyll stay behind in the biomass. Explore Engineered per project

Lab and pilot Laboratory Equipment Rotary evaporators, jacketed glass reactors and short path distillers for trials, refining and pilot production. Explore 1 machine

Production Chain

From Biomass To Finished Oil

A complete line is not four machines bought separately. Each stage has to hand the next one a feed it can actually process, which is why the chain is engineered as one system.

Extraction

Supercritical CO2 or cold ethanol at -75°C takes the actives out of the biomass.

Winterization

Chill, hold and filter to drop waxes and lipids, then recover the ethanol.

Distillation

Short path distillation under deep vacuum separates and refines the fractions.

Laboratory

Rotary evaporator, glass reactor and short path distiller for trials and control.

Customer Feedback

What Customers Say About The Machines

5/5
The machine worked and the test results were better than expected

Lauren Munoz

4.5/5
Visited their factory, production specifications, timely delivery, as well as the installation of engineers training, relative to the cost-effective local equipment.

Ronald Snyder

4.5/5
The appearance of the machine is atmospheric, the material is good, the extraction efficiency is higher than other similar machines, the CBD oil obtained has high purity and less impurity content, which reduces the trouble of removing a large number of impurities in the later stage.

Jessica Hawkins

5/5
Small problem engineer online video guidance, very professional, solve problems in time.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What does BETTER need from me to quote a price?

Two things: the raw material you will process, and the production capacity you need per batch. Machines from 0.5L to 200L are supplied, and a larger capacity machine can be customised according to your request.

What material can you process with this machine?

The CO2 extraction machines are widely used in extracting hemp oil, wheat embryo oil, fish oil, tobacco essential oil, Arteannuin, Sundrops oil, Gingerol, Pepper haematochrome, Hops extract and Agarwood oil, among others.

Can we do an extraction test before purchasing?

Of course. An extraction test can be run with your raw material, and videos and pictures of the test are sent to you for reference.

Can the CO2 be reused?

Yes. CO2 can be used in circulation.

How long does it take to produce the machine once I place my order?

The process flow of a supercritical CO2 extraction machine is complex, so production generally takes about 60 workdays. Every procedure and detail has to be inspected strictly, because Better Industry is responsible for the quality of the machines its customers run.

How will my order be packed, and can you provide the installation service?

Plywood case. The machine is assembled and tested before packing, and installation service is provided.

Next Step

Tell Us What You Need To Extract

Send your raw material and the capacity you need per batch, and a specification comes back with the process parameters behind it.

Send two things and a real specification comes back: the raw material you will process, and the production capacity you need per batch.
