Is supercritical CO2 extraction safe?
By using supercritical CO2, the producer has total control over the procedure, CO2 can be recycled, making this method more environmentally friendly compared to others. Further, the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) has labeled CO2 safe for industrial extractions.
What is a CO2 extractor?
CO2 extraction uses pressurized carbon dioxide to “pull” naturally occurring phytocompounds (including cannabinoids and terpenes) from raw hemp plant material. In the end, CBD oils made using CO2 extraction have a healthy-looking amber color to them – verifying a full spectrum of beneficial hemp compounds.
What’s better CO2 or distillate?
In short, distillate is essentially a blank slate extract, allowing the addition of preferred flavors and strains. On the other hand, C02 oil is closer to the plant and highlights more of the natural terpenes. Either way you look at it, the best practice is to try them both to determine which is best for you.
Is CO2 extraction better than butane?
Despite having a costlier initial setup, CO2 is cheaper than butane, making the system more cost-effective to run. As CO2 is produced by natural means, if it is released back to the environment it does not have a negative impact on the atmosphere, making it a much safer and environmentally responsible choice than BHO.
Are CO2 cartridges better?
Lighter: In general, CO2 inflators are lighter than a good hand pump. Faster inflation time: CO2 inflators will air up your tire in a minute, which is much faster than a hand pump can achieve. That is why many people prefer CO2 inflators for races because they are lightweight and get them back into the game quickly.
Are CO2 vape cartridges better?
While CO2 cartridges are highly effective and cost-efficient, live resin cartridges contain a higher amount of natural terpenes and tend to be more flavorful.

What is the best CO2 extractor for my facility?
Our e-140 CO2 extractor is our most popular machine as it fits most facilities while providing impressive throughput. There are situations when space is limited and every inch counts which is why our e-110 equipment is perfect when you don’t have a lot of space to work with.
What is a supercritical CO2 extractor?
Supercritical CO2 extractors use carbon dioxide (CO2) at an elevated temperature and pressure to extract soluble compounds from natural products.
