Extraction

Extraction

Whether you are processing THC cannabis material or hemp material with high CBD content, this is the most important step in the processing chain.

Extraction

Winterization

Cannabis / Hemp Winterization

Winterization is an important step in the purification of oils-including cannabis extracts-that allows for the removal of inactive compounds like fats, waxes, and lipids.

Winterization

Filtration

Cannabis / Hemp Filtration & Remediation

Filtration often goes hand-in-hand with winterization. The fats, waxes, and lipids that precipitate during the winterization step are removed via filtration systems.

Filtration & Remediation

Solvent Recovery

Cannabis / Hemp Solvent Recovery

Solvents are used in initial extraction, winterization, isolation, and other key steps in the processing chain. This solvent must be separated from the cannabis oil prior to consumption.

Solvent Recovery

Degas/Decarb

Cannabis / Hemp Degas / Decarb

Degassing removes trace amounts of solvents and volatile compounds from the cannabis oil prior to distillation, or before cannabis oil is sent to market.

Decarboxylation

Distillation

Cannabis / Hemp Distillation

To create distillate, cannabis crude oil is distilled at very high temperatures. The cannabis oil evaporates and becomes purified in its vapor state.

Distillation

Isolation

Cannabis / Hemp Isolation

When a cannabinoid is isolated, it is in its purest form. Isolation is often associated with the cannabinoid CBD and other minor cannabinoids.

Isolation

Remediation

THC Remediation

Pesticides, heavy metals and color contaminants can all be remediated from cannabis oil to make it safe for consumption. THC can also be remediated from CBD oil to make it legal for consumption.

Remediation

Formulation

Cannabis/Hemp Formulation

Some consumer end products take the form of beverages, pills, or ingestible powders. To create these, cannabinoids must go through a process to make them water-soluble.

“We have been cranking out golden distillate thanks in large part to our 20L short path distillation system from Lab Society. Our team has been using this machine consistently for two years and it still runs like a dream! Take care of it and it will take care of you! Thank you again Lab Society!” […]

Mark G.

“I have been performing short path distillation for the last 5 years. When I first started, I had a 5 Liter short path from [a competitor]. It was ok, but primitive for the processing I needed to do. I constantly had problems with vacuum leaks due to hoses. One day, I was so annoyed with […]
