Used Applied Extracts Supercritical CO2 Extractor – Model AE 2 x 25L

Manufacturer Information

Manufacturer: Applied Extracts

Model: AE 2 x 25L

Category: Supercritical CO2 Extraction System

Year Built: 2019

Description
The Applied Extracts AE 2 x 25L Supercritical CO2 Extractor is a high-performance, dual-vessel extraction system designed for efficient botanical and specialty material extraction. Built in 2019, this system delivers throughput up to 250 lbs/day (material and process dependent), offering both flexibility and efficiency in large-scale extraction operations.
The system features a dual 25-liter extraction vessel design, enabling continuous operation by allowing one vessel to extract while the other is loaded or unloaded. This design also reduces CO2 consumption by approximately 50% compared to single-vessel systems when operated according to SOP (included).
The machine comes equipped with appropriately scaled tanks, electric band heaters, separator tanks, primary heat exchanger module, temperature-controlled transfer lines, supplementary pumps, and a PLC control system for precise operation.
A Lewa high-flow diaphragm pump (1.5 L/min) provides up to 4350 psi discharge pressure, powered by a 7.5 HP 3-phase motor with VFD control. Additional features include a 16L liquid CO2 storage tank and condenser heat exchanger.
