Hemp Processing / Hemp Extraction / Hemp Extractors

Hemp Extractors

Hemp extractors are continuous flow centrifuges that spin at much higher speeds than basket (batch) centrifuges. This allows product to flow through at much higher rates, and because there are higher g-force enacted on the mass, more solvent is removed from biomass than with basket centrifuges. The precisely-calibrated centrifugal force also extracts the highest yield possible without crushing cellular walls—a problem encountered with screw presses. The Hempfuge KG product line is the leading cannabis-specific solution, washing up to 3,275 lbs of dry biomass per hour, and featuring an infinite turn down ratio. It is made in the USA and is not similar to makes from overseas.
