CO2 extraction equipment

CO2 extraction equipment uses carbon dioxide (CO2) in its liquid or supercritical state to extract desirable compounds from plant material, such as oils or flavors. The process involves placing plant material in a vessel, then pressurizing CO2 until it becomes supercritical—meaning it has properties of both a gas and liquid—allowing it to penetrate the plant and dissolve target compounds. The mixture is then depressurized, causing the CO2 to revert to a gas and leaving behind the extracted substances. This efficient, clean method is widely used in the production of essential oils, cannabis extracts, and other plant-based products.
