Our mini co2 extractor from Xi'an Bioland Instrument is small but can remove supercritical fluids at a laboratory level. This unique piece of equipment, which has 50 MPa high-pressure safety systems and is approved by CE, ISO, UL, and SGS, fills the gap between testing new ideas and making small batches. With vessels that can hold 100mL to 5L of fluid and pressures up to 1000 bar, you can control the temperature of thermolabile chemicals while reusing more than 95% of the CO₂. Our system is great for profiling cannabis terpenes, pharmaceutical APIs, and essential oils because it has GMP-compliant design, triple overvoltage safety, and PLC intelligent control.
When you buy our supercritical extraction technology, you're working with a company that has over 15 years of experience making chemical process equipment. What makes us different:
Comprehensive Safety Architecture
Your workers can work without worrying. Several layers of protection have been built in, such as safety interlock quick-release clamp systems and choices for explosion-proof design. Every pressure tank is tested hydrostatically at 1.5 times the highest pressure that is safe to use.
Flexible Production Scaling
Start with 100g of waste samples to make sure your extraction settings are correct before going to the industrial size. By changing the pressure and temperature of our modular separators (single, double, or triple-stage), you can separate certain chemical parts by changing the CO₂ density.
Customization Without Compromise
Need a co-solvent pump for substances that are polar? Do you need ATEX grades for dangerous areas? Our in-house R&D team makes sure that the tools we sell fits your needs perfectly. OEM/ODM projects usually ship in 30 business days, and standard units are ready in 5–7 days.
Full-Lifecycle Support
From developing the process to installing it and keeping it running, we give it to committed experts who send us photos or videos every week to show how things are going. The thing you bought comes with a warranty for one year, upkeep for life, and the choice of Factory Acceptance Testing at our site.
Proven Quality Standards
For pharmaceutical-grade cleanliness, all wet parts are made of SS316L stainless steel with electropolished surfaces (Ra < 0.8µm). As well as meeting FDA/GMP production rules, our systems also meet ASME BPVC Section VIII and PED 2014/68/EU pressure vessel standards.

It works like both a gas and a liquid at the same time in a special state called "supercritical," which is used in your extraction process. Allow me to explain:
Step 1: Pressurization
Our high-pressure pump takes liquid CO from the holding tank on in. By heating the fluid above 31.1°C and raising the pressure above the critical point (73.8 bar), supercritical fluid is created.
Step 2: Extraction
The packed plant material in the extraction tube is moved through this supercritical CO₂. Target chemicals (terpenes, cannabinoids, essential oils) are quickly dissolved by its liquid-like density, which spreads like a gas through plant materials.
Step 3: Separation
Combined CO₂ and extract go into separator tanks. The CO₂ turns back into a gas through controlled depressurization. Because there is no solvent left behind, your valuable chemicals settle out as a pure extract.
Step 4: Recycling
In condensers and chillers, CO2 gas is turned back into a liquid so that it can be compressed again and used again. For running prices and environmental effect, this closed-loop design is the best.
There is a lot of control you have over which chemicals you isolate with the mini co2 extractor because you can change the pressure (which changes the density of CO₂) and the temperature (which changes selectivity).

Supercritical Extraction → Multi-Stage Separation → Extract Collection →
CO₂ Recovery & Recycling → System Reset
Detailed Operation Steps:
Pharmaceutical & Nutraceutical
Separate the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) that are very pure and get rid of any solvents that are still in the drug polymers. To improve absorption, do supercritical micronization. Our equipment is in line with GMP rules for making medicines.
Essential Oil & Perfumery
Get the delicate scent chemicals out of rose, jasmine, agarwood, and other valuable plants. Operating at temperatures close to room temperature protects volatile oils that are lost in standard steam distillation, creating luxury scents that are true to nature.
Cannabis & Hemp Processing
Look at the terpene makeup of each type before making a lot of them. Using multi-stage separators, separate the high-value "sauce" parts from the crude oil. Get extracts that are free of pesticides and solvents that sell for a lot of money.
Food & Beverage
Spices, herbs, and fruit leaves can be used to get their natural flavours, vitamins, and colours. Make coffee and tea less stimulating. Make hop extracts for craft beer without leaving behind any chemical solvents.
Cosmetics & Personal Care
Get pure plant ingredients for aromatherapy items, anti-aging serums, and skin treatments. CO₂ extraction keeps vitamins and flavonoids that break down when heated that other methods destroy.
Research & Development
Universities and research institutes use this equipment to generate thermodynamic data, optimize extraction parameters, and validate scale-up models before industrial investment.
Xi'an Bioland Instrument follows strict rules for quality control:
Before being shipped, every system goes through a lot of tests at the plant, such as checking the barometric pressure, looking for helium leaks, and making sure the control system work
Q: Can your system handle co-solvents like ethanol?
A: Absolutely. Our advanced models include an integrated co-solvent pump. Adding 2-5% ethanol expands your extraction capabilities to more polar compounds that pure CO₂ cannot dissolve effectively.
Q: How often do seals require replacement?
A: Dynamic pump seals typically need maintenance every 500-1,000 operating hours. Static vessel O-rings should be inspected after each cycle and replaced per our maintenance schedule to maintain safety integrity.
Q: What facility requirements do I need?
A: You'll need standard electrical power (220V or 110V), a chiller connection for CO₂ condensing, compressed air supply for pneumatic components, and proper ventilation with CO₂ monitoring sensors for safety compliance.
Q: Is the extract immediately usable?
A: Generally yes—CO₂ evaporates completely, leaving solvent-free crude. Depending on your pressure parameters, you may need winterization (wax removal) or decarboxylation (moisture removal) for specific end products.
Q: How does throughput compare to industrial equipment?
A: Our system prioritizes data precision over volume. While processing 0.5 lbs/hour versus industrial 100 lbs/hour, you gain the ability to predict exact parameters needed for scale-up, eliminating costly trial-and-error.
Q: Do you provide training and installation?
A: Yes. We offer comprehensive installation support, operator training, and ongoing technical consultation to ensure you maximize your extraction efficiency and product quality.
