These CO2 extractions are being used by medical, neutraceutical, flavoring and topical companies due to their high quality, clean oils that are free of residual solvent and have not experienced any thermal degradation. "The demand for our subcritical and supercritical CO2 systems has been so strong that we felt it was necessary to devote an entire division to it," said Andy Joseph , President of Apeks Fabrication. All of Apeks Supercritical's CO2 systems use our patent pending Valveless Expansion Technology (VET). VET eliminates the need for a regulating or reducing valve to separate the extracted oils from the CO2, because valves and regulators are designed for clean gas and liquids, not viscous oils and dry ice. VET separates the botanical oils from the CO2 inside the oil collection vessel so there is no opportunity for clogging and subsequent equipment malfunction and down time. In addition to VET, our CO2 systems also include unique features such as automatic flow reversal, porous metal extraction filters, "set it and forget it" control capability, and an integral weighing scale to weigh the raw product and monitor the CO2 in the system. Apeks Fabrication also has a full line of industrial solvent based oil extraction, distillation and concentration systems, and can fabricate customized systems for specific applications.
