The Alcohol Extraction Skid is designed to separate cannabinoids from the rest of the plant material (biomass) using -40° C food grade ethanol to strip off the desired compounds from the plant material. This process creates a “Wash” solution of cannabinoid content and alcohol. Extracting at a cold temperature eliminates the need for winterization and prevents undesirable compounds such as lipids, fats, waxes, and chlorophyll from being extracted from the biomass in the initial stages of the process.
