What's the CBD Isolate Extraction Process
The process starts using Cannabis fresh plant material with a moisture content of 7 - 10% as raw material. CBD Supercritical Fluid CO2 Extraction Equipment Process : Process flow diagram - CBD isolate manufacturing SCFE Using a pin milling equipment, cannabis size is reduced to about 3 - 5 mm increasing extraction surface area and therefore cannabinoids recovery efficiency. Cannabis decarboxylation (transforming acid cannabinoids into their neutral forms with higher activity) is achieved by a heating process under specific time and temperature conditions using a forced ventilation oven. Besides decarboxylation, drying process also reduces initial moisture content of the plant. The process continues using SC-CO2 as solvent for the extraction. Temperature and contact time conditions between the solvent CO2 and the plant ensure the greatest amount of extractable material with the highest concentration of active compounds. After extraction is completed, wasted material...
