We grouped the most popular machine types for CBD oil extraction based on the primary substance that makes extraction possible. These substances include Carbon dioxide (CO2), hydrocarbon, and ethanol. Each type is described briefly below: Carbon dioxide (CO2)  • This method uses carbon dioxide as a natural solvent, which breaks down hemp to release CBD. • There …

CBD Isolate Steps Overview What is Chromatography? Chromatography is one of the most common methods used to CBD extract from hemp, especially in large-scale production operations. Only in smaller productions is it usually excluded because it requires access to specialized equipment and a safe environment. Distillation processes, like short-path distillation and winterization, are used both …

Ethanol and carbon dioxide extraction methods are incredibly different as they are used to achieve two different results. While it is possible to extract pure CBD with ethanol, the process dissolves other unwanted compounds so it is not ideal. This is why carbon dioxide is often used to produce pure CBD oil, however, the process …

Winterized CBD oil has up to 65% potency. Winterization is crucial because it is effective in removing cuticle wax from the hemp plant, which, when consumed, can cause respiratory problems. Winterized CBD oil offers greater flexibility in how you consume it and can also be used in the treatment of patients with Dravet syndrome and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. What is …

The water vapor extraction process is a simple method used to produce CBD oil. By utilizing the steam from boiling water, hemp compounds are volatilized, condensed, and then collected in a flask. How Water Vapor Extraction Works PREPARATION • The process requires the following equipment: a boiler, distillation tank, condenser, pipette, and collecting flask with an …

Ethanol extraction is the most efficient CBD oil extraction process in the industry. Its popularity and preference stems from its ability to create large quantities of high-quality CBD at a lower production cost. The process is also safer than other methods since it creates zero vapor pressure, and is less flammable than hydrocarbon extraction. Process …

CO2 hemp extraction, alcohol hemp extraction, butane/propane hemp extraction, and ice water extraction are the four main processes for cannabis extraction in the hemp industry. Each extraction process uses different types of machines and equipment, which we discuss in the following sections. CO2 Hemp Extraction Method • Under the CO2 hemp extraction method, there are five equipment types used, …
