So here we are in the assembly line looking at the PX5 the newest in our line of hydrocarbon
extraction systems for the growing market the system is built by extractors for extractors
trying to develop the most ergonomic and simple process on the market we start off
with our solvent tank which is jacketed and chilled a vacuum jacketed 5 lb material column
another vacuum jacketed column for the inline CRC as well as a liquid jacket heated collection tank
on this end once extracted your material moves into the collection tank where a spray ball moves
that solution over the heated jacket allowing for a highly efficient vaporization of the butane that
vapor moves through our molecular sieve and then hits a tube and Tube coil operating at
negative 20 degrees allowing for a cold solvent to come back to the solvent tank allowing for a
very quick timed attempt for your next cycle allowing this whole system to run 5 lb cycles
roughly every 30 minutes as I said this system is developed by extractors for extractors and we
really wanted to look at the day-to-day process of running in a lab some of the quality of life
features that we've developed is a built-in manifold for your nitrogen and vacuum line
allowing for easy control at each point each head on the system is exactly the same allowing for
easy maintenance easy cleaning for your material reset it's a single six inch clamp with a single
sock tube to pull out and drop back in one of the goals for the PX line was to be able
to create a facility that's truly scalable to create a process that could be duplicated
over and over again anywhere across the country or anywhere around the world a lot of municipalities
aren't allowing active recovery pumps anymore so we wanted to move to this passive design to
create a truly scalable product that can compete with the times and throughputs of active systems
next in line is the PX10 this is the next iteration of the PX line and if you'll notice
there's a lot of similarities between it and the PX5 we still have our solvent tank our 5 lb
material column our inline CRC and our collection tank along with the molecular sieve and tube
and Tube coil the difference here is once you've learned how to operate the PX5 moving to the PX10
is a very simple upgrade the PX5 can easily be upgraded to the PX10 simply by sending the system
back to our warehouse we add the exact same system to the back side so now instead of a single 5 lb
system you have a dual 5 lb system that are still running in a 30 minute cycle takes about two days
to do that upgrade and then we're able to ship the system right back to you plug directly back
into all of the infrastructure that you already have in place in your facility and you've now
doubled your capacity in under a week so we're now in precisions in-house C1D1 room taking a look at
the final version of the PX line the PX30 as we saw before the PX5 is a 5 lb run the PX10 is a
10 lb run by adding essentially the same system to the back side the PX30 takes that a step farther
some of the great features of this system we moved away from the rack based solvent tank and added an
external solvent tank which is oversized allowing you to operate all day long without having to top
off the system and do a cleaning run on that gas we converted the former solvent tanks into
material columns now so instead of having a single 5 lb column on each side you now have two seven
and a half pound columns on each side allowing you to run essentially two separate 15 lb systems or
to run it in tandem as a 30 pound cycle getting through the cycle roughly every 30 to 35 minutes
we still have our inline CRC with our welded Center discs built into the system as well as
a falling film solvent recovery collection tank with the PX line we really tried to think of
everything we tried to make sure that all of those details that somebody deals with on a daily basis
are made as simple as possible that way you're making the same quality product during our seven
and eight of your shift as you are during hour one when you come in fresh and ready
all of your controls are eye level for your solvents moving all the way through as well
as for your nitrogen and vacuum line one of the biggest headaches we face whenever we're operating
in a lab is water everywhere our our solvent tanks freeze up things melt over time and we're
always mopping we're always wiping the floors one of the best features about the PX line is
simply this drip pan any condensation that comes off of the system is caught there goes to one
corner making it easily removable from your lab removing a major safety hazard out of the process
in order to not lose that great feature of condensation control in your lab
when we were developing the PX30 we realized that we were losing that by developing the
external solvent tank the way we got around that is this tank is actually dual jacketed the the
liquid jacket is a dimple jacket allowing the greatest possible surface area of your solvent
to the steel that's in contact with the cold fluid on the outside of that jacket there's
actually a vacuum jacket which essentially acts as like a Yeti cooler once it's cold it stays
cold and it keeps this thing from turning into a block of ice due to the industry moving away from
inline d-waxing for a lot of processes a lot of people being more interested in color remediation
columns and different CRC methods we developed a inline CRC for the PX Line This is a fully
customizable CRC with a built-in stack of centered discs allowing you to try different blends of
Medias work on different problems whether it be color remediation pesticides Metals things like
that by allowing multiple layers and multiple Stacks you can work with different blends of
Medias allowing for strain specific batches and strain specific processes as well as giving you
the freedom to work with outside processors who may have some issues in their grow or may have
some type of contamination in their product the system will allow you to get a lot of that out
