As THC-based products continue gaining regulatory approval and mainstream popularity in both medicinal and recreational cannabis sectors, manufacturers are under pressure to deliver safe, pure, and potent extracts. The extraction system used plays a crucial role in achieving this.
In this context, the co2 supercritical extraction machine from Shanghai North Brooks Co.,ltd. emerges as a top choice for THC extractors seeking precision, temperature control, and GMP compliance. This article explores the architecture, use cases, and ROI of advanced CO2 systems tailored for THC extraction.
THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) is a highly sensitive cannabinoid — prone to degradation under heat, light, and chemical exposure. This makes supercritical CO2 extraction a superior method, offering:
Low-temperature operation
Solvent-free extraction
Adjustable solubility and selectivity
No post-process purification required
A co2 supercritical extraction machine enables producers to extract THC with high efficiency and purity — ideal for pharmaceutical and high-end cannabis products.
Controlling temperature within ±1°C makes a big difference when extracting cannabinoids and terpenes. The advanced systems from Shanghai North Brooks Co.,ltd. offer:
Independent control of extractor, separator, and pump
Thermal jacket systems
PID programmable temperature interface
Reduced risk of thermal degradation
This ensures preservation of terpenes, THCa, and minor cannabinoids, which contribute to the entourage effect.
