Solventless terpene extractor for cannabis processing
In the cannabis extraction industry, retaining the valuable and aroma-defining terpenes during the extraction process is a significant challenge. Traditional methods often risk the loss of these essential compounds due to high temperatures and solvent use.

Extracts terpenes without solvents
The STX 90 by Root Sciences is a solventless terpene extractor designed to address the preservation of the most volatile and valuable terpenes in cannabis processing. This extractor uses a direct distillation technique under deep vacuum, allowing the careful extraction of terpenes without the need for solvents. The extraction vessel, with a volume of 90 liters, can handle batch sizes from 5 to 30 pounds, making it adaptable for various processing needs. The process is enhanced by the integrated patented cryogenic trap technology, ensuring maximum yield with minimal run time. Its automated operation features a 15-inch HMI for programming custom extraction recipes, streamlining workflows and ensuring consistent results. This system is particularly advantageous for cannabis processors aiming to maintain strain-specific terpene profiles.
