Technical Process Advantages

Extraction Efficiency, Performance, and Quality

PURE5™ Extraction Systems are designed to deliver exceptional extraction performance with impressive recovery rates. For essential cannabinoids such as THC and CBD, recovery rates consistently exceed 97%, ensuring high yields of the most sought-after compounds. The recovery of minor cannabinoids also maintains impressive efficiency, achieving more than 97%, allowing the manufacturers to capture a broad spectrum of active ingredients. Regarding terpenes, PURE5™ systems preserve >99% of mono- and sesquiterpenes, essential for maintaining the full flavor and aroma profiles consumers demand.

These performance metrics are complemented by >99% extract purity without requiring extensive post-processing, ensuring the final product is of the highest quality. The consistency of each batch is remarkable, with a variance of just ±1%, which provides product reliability and repeatability. The shelf life of these extracts extends for 2+ years, offering long-term storage flexibility. Additionally, the viscosity of the extract can be customized based on process parameters, allowing for more control over the final product's texture and consistency.

Operational Cost Analysis and Energy Efficiency

The operational cost efficiency of PURE5™ systems stands out compared to traditional methods. PURE5™ technology saves over 85% of the energy typically used by older extraction systems. For instance, while CO2 systems require 15-20 kW/hour and ethanol systems use 10-15 kW/hour, PURE5™ operates with just 2-3 kW/hour, drastically lowering energy consumption. This results in annual utility savings ranging from $25,000 to $50,000 for medium-scale operations.

The labor optimization benefits of PURE5™ are equally compelling. Unlike traditional systems, which require 3-4 operators per shift, PURE5™ only needs one operator. Training time is also reduced dramatically to less than 2 hours for PURE5™ compared to 2-3 weeks for traditional methods. These improvements translate to annual labor cost reductions of 60-70%. Furthermore, PURE5™ systems eliminate the need for winterization and reduce filtration steps by 80%, significantly speeding up processing time. The final product is ready in 2-3 hours, compared to 5-7 days with traditional methods.

Below is a summary of the process economic factors such as CapEx, OpEx, efficiency, solvent recovery, energy cost, etc.

Case Studies or Testimonials

" Been working with PURE5 Extraction Technology for over 5 years...Every time I open the collector is an amazing experience! The purity of the extracts coupled with the amazing flavor profiles makes The Best Oil in the World! Once my clients experience the difference they cannot go back to the current market. Truly medicinal... "

" I collaborated with PURE 5 Extraction Solutions on both an ethanol and hydrocarbon project. They designed my lab and supplied all the necessary equipment. The entire process was seamless, and any issues that a ose were promptly resolved by my sales representative, George Stantchev. PURE 5 Extraction Solutions fully stands behind their products and services, and thanks to them, my project was a success."
