Industrial-grade efficiency in a small size is provided by our small CO2 extraction machine. With pressures of up to 50 MPa (500 bar), this specialized supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) machine can handle amounts of 0.5 to 5 kg per run. It's the perfect size for lab research and development, pilot testing, and small-scale production, with tank capacities ranging from 1L to 10L. Using our integrated circulation system, you'll be able to collect more than 95% of the CO₂, which will cut your running costs by a huge amount. The pharmaceutical-grade 316L stainless steel used in its construction meets GMP/FDA standards and keeps liquid traces and heat degradation to a minimum. When working on APIs, sensitive botanicals, or cannabis terpene profiles, this machine lets you precisely control temperature and pressure to target particular compounds.
We've been making chemical process tools for more than 15 years, so we know a lot about extraction technology. Our product is the result of decades of engineering development, not a guess.
Certifications from CE, ISO, UL, and SGS give you peace of mind. Multiple interlocks, quick-release clamps, and separate pump overvoltage protection are all part of our 50 MPa high-pressure safety system. Right out of the box, every unit meets GMP/FDA guidelines.
For hands-on study, you can choose manual control, or you can switch to full PLC automation. We have smart control systems that can precisely change temperature and pressure, restore CO2 automatically, and switch between fluids with different isobaric pressures. These systems balance safety and economy.
We don't think that one size fits all. You can set up single-, double-, or triple-stage separation systems with our OEM/ODM services. Need a plan that won't explode? Gas moving around? We'll plan it out. You'll get your custom order in 30 business days, and your normal units in 5–7 days.
You're not just getting tools; you're also getting a partner. Our team helps with process research and development, makes tools, and does upkeep for life. We assign experts to keep an eye on your project and send you picture and video reports every week. We also offer Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) at our site before the goods are sent out.

The unique supercritical state of carbon dioxide is used in the extraction process. How it works:
Step 1: Pressurization
A high-pressure pump takes liquid CO2 from a holding tank. The pump lifts the pressure above 73.8 bar, which is the key point.
Step 2: Heating & Supercritical Transition
The pressed-up CO2 moves through a heat exchanger. When the temperature goes above 31.1°C, it turns into supercritical, a gas-like liquid whose solvent qualities can be changed.
Step 3: Extraction
Supercritical CO₂ is poured into the extraction tube that has your waste in it. You can change the polarity of a solvent by changing the temperature (35–80°C) and pressure (200–500 bar). For volatile oils, lower levels work best. Cannabinoids, lipids, or chemicals are extracted at higher settings.
Step 4: Separation
The CO₂-extract mix moves into tanks for separation. When the pressure drops here, the CO₂ turns into gas, leaving behind a pure extract. With multi-stage dividers, you can separate molecules based on their molecular weight.
Step 5: Recycling
CO2 gas goes through a scrubber and then goes back to the holding tank. Our system reuses more than 95% of what it collects, which cuts down on running costs.
Remove solvents that might contaminate the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs). ideal for figuring out how to grow up, doing feasibility studies, and running small-scale clinical trials. Because of its strict tracking requirements, our machine helps you meet them.
Premium oils can be extracted for vape devices, medicines, and food. Switch to supercritical mode for cannabis extraction after running subcritical settings to get detailed profiles of terpenes. For example, you won't have to add green or winterize the oil as much after you make it.
Take care of the real, "true-to-nature" smells of flowers like lavender, jasmine, and rose. With our low-temperature extraction, the aromas stay intact for luxury organic products, while steam distillation destroys them.
Get the hop oils out of coffee for craft brewing, decaffeinate it, or separate herbs' natural flavours. Consumers who want clean labels want all products to be free of harmful solvent residues.
Use turmeric curcuminoids, ginger oleoresins, or omega-rich seed oils in different ways. It is more expensive on the market because the solvent-free result is labelled as "supercritical extract."
Xi'an Bioland Instrument holds comprehensive quality certifications:
Every small co2 extraction machine undergoes rigorous pressure testing, leak detection, and safety validation before leaving our facility. We provide full documentation for regulatory audits.
Q1: How does throughput compare to ethanol extraction?
While ethanol processes bulk crude faster, our system produces cleaner initial extracts. Expect 2–4 runs per 8-hour shift. The golden oil requires significantly less post-processing than chlorophyll-heavy ethanol crude, saving you time on winterization and filtration.
Q2: Can I run both subcritical and supercritical parameters?
Absolutely. The thermal regulation system maintains liquid CO₂ states below 31°C for terpene preservation, then ramps to supercritical conditions above 31°C for cannabinoid or lipid extraction. This flexibility maximizes your return on investment.
Q3: What facility requirements do I need?
You'll need dedicated electrical power (often 3-phase for chillers/heaters), proper ventilation, and CO₂ monitoring alarms for safety. Compressed air runs pneumatic valves. Unlike hydrocarbon systems, you typically don't need Class 1 Div 1 explosion-proof rooms, reducing infrastructure costs.
Q4: How often do pump seals need replacement?
High-pressure pump seals are wear items. Depending on biomass cleanliness and operating pressures, expect replacement every 200–500 operational hours. We provide detailed maintenance schedules to maximize uptime.
Q5: Is winterization required after extraction?
It depends on your parameters. High-pressure runs (>350 bar) co-extract plant waxes, requiring winterization. However, you can avoid this by running lower pressures with multi-stage separators to drop waxes before final collection.
Q6: Do you provide training and technical support?
Yes! We offer on-site installation assistance, operational training, and remote troubleshooting. Our experienced engineers remain available throughout your equipment's lifetime to ensure optimal performance.
