Xi'an Bioland's tincture extraction machine is purpose-designed for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cannabinoid processing facilities. Built around a GMP-grade 316L stainless steel core (Ra ≤ 0.4µm), it completes extraction in just 24–40 minutes per batch, with efficiency improved by up to 500% compared to traditional maceration. The system features fully automatic PLC control, supports three extraction modes — ultrasonic, reflux, and oscillating solvent — and achieves a closed-loop solvent recovery rate of 98%. Explosion-proof configurations comply with ATEX/Class I standards, making it ready for direct deployment in large-scale commercial production. For detailed specifications or custom solutions, feel free to contact our engineering team.
Extract up to 500% More Yield
The centrifugal force paired with ultrasonic cavitation quickly forces solvent through plant cell walls, greatly boosting efficiency of active chemical transfer relative to standard passive soaking. Internal comparative test data available upon request.
24-40 Hour Batch Cycles, Not 24-40 Minute
Traditional maceration extraction usually takes many days. This method may reduce the single-batch production time to less than 40 minutes, greatly enhancing the daily line capacity and capital turnover efficiency.
Three Extraction Methods, One System
Flexible switch plant source – no need for equipment change.
98% Closed-Loop Solvent Recovery
Ethanol or glycerin is recycled in a closed loop with solvent loss per batch less than 2% decreasing raw material costs and easing waste disposal strain.
Optional Explosion-Proof Design Available
Electrical components are certified to Class I Division 1/2 (North America) and ATEX Zone 1/2 (EU) for use in flammable solvent working environments such as ethanol to ensure the safety of persons and facilities.
GMP Batch Verification CIP-Ready
Constructed with spray balls and CIP interfaces for circulation of alkaline/acid cleaning solutions through whole circuit. Inter batch cleaning without disassembly to meet GMP validation criteria.
Step 1 — Feeding & Solvent Injection
Plant raw material is loaded into the sealed extraction vessel, and food-grade ethanol, glycerin, or propylene glycol is injected according to the recipe. The system automatically sets temperature based on the selected mode (standard 40–60°C; cryogenic mode down to −80°C).
Step 2 — Active Extraction Phase
Select the extraction mode based on plant characteristics:
Step 3 — Centrifugal Separation
After the extraction cycle ends, the centrifuge spins at up to 1,500 RPM, reducing residual solvent in plant residue to below 5%. The liquid extract exits through the discharge port to downstream processes.
Step 4 — Automatic Logging & Solvent Recovery
The PLC system logs parameters such as speed, temperature, and time throughout, generating a batch report. Solvent vapor is recovered through condensation, with a recovery rate of 98%.

All product-contact surfaces of the tincture extraction machine use SS316L sanitary-grade stainless steel with surface finish Ra ≤ 0.4µm, compliant with ASME BPE standards, effectively preventing microbial growth, cross-contamination, and organic solvent corrosion.
The jacketed vessel design supports both heated operation and cryogenic freezing (down to −80°C), enabling inline winterization during extraction to remove waxes and lipids, reducing downstream distillation load.
All welds are hygienically ground, free of pits or crevices. Seal integrity is verified through vacuum hold testing (−29.9 inHg, held for 24 hours), ensuring zero solvent vapor leakage.
Material traceability: All SS316L components are supplied with Mill Test Reports (MTRs) and Positive Material Identification (PMI) reports, with full traceability of alloy composition and corrosion resistance.

Xi'an Bioland has over 15 years of extraction and separation equipment manufacturing experience, serving customers across pharmaceutical and nutraceutical markets in North America, Europe, and Southeast Asia.
Our commitment goes beyond equipment delivery:
Cannabis & Hemp (CBD/THC Tinctures)
Sub-zero temperature ethanol extraction selectively extracts cannabinoids, effectively inhibiting co-extraction of chlorophyll and plant waxes, yielding a cleaner crude oil and reducing downstream distillation costs. Suitable for CBD isolates, full-spectrum extracts, and RSO oil product lines.
Nutraceuticals & Herbal Medicine
Variable agitation speed protects heat-sensitive phytonutrients. Suitable for adaptogenic materials such as Ashwagandha, Echinacea, and medicinal mushrooms. Both root-type and fibrous bark materials can be processed while preserving full-spectrum active compounds.
Flavor & Fragrance Production
Vacuum-assisted low-temperature extraction preserves volatile terpenes and esters in vanilla or citrus essential oils, avoiding the "burnt" notes caused by traditional open heating. Suitable for food-grade flavor and natural perfume raw material production.
Pharmaceutical Intermediates
GMP-grade construction meets FDA and pharmaceutical production standards, suitable for scale-up production of botanical drug extracts, standardized herbal concentrates, and biopharmaceutical intermediates. Complete batch records and FAT testing documentation are supported.
Each unit is manufactured under the ISO certification system, complies with CE marking requirements, and is designed to meet GMP and FDA pharmaceutical-grade production specifications.
Factory Acceptance Test (FAT): Each unit undergoes full-load testing with substitute solvent before shipment, validating agitation balance, explosion-proof control response, and seal integrity, with a complete FAT report issued.
Material certification documents: All SS316L components are supplied with MTR reports and PMI test results, available with shipment upon buyer request for supplier audits or regulatory submissions.
To view specific certification certificate numbers or test report samples, please contact our technical support team.
Q: Which solvents is the equipment compatible with?
A: Supports food-grade ethanol (most commonly used), glycerin, and propylene glycol. The SS316L construction and seal design offer good corrosion resistance to all three solvents, with no material degradation or contamination risk.
Q: How exactly is solvent recovery achieved?
A: The centrifugal stage reduces residual solvent in plant residue to below 5%. Solvent in the liquid extract is further removed through a downstream falling-film evaporator or rotary evaporator, with overall recovery reaching 98%.
Q: Is low-temperature extraction required for all applications?
A: No. Low-temperature operation (down to −80°C) is primarily recommended for cannabis/hemp to inhibit co-extraction of waxes and chlorophyll. Traditional herbal tinctures typically extract at ambient or mildly chilled conditions, with lower energy consumption and simpler operation.
Q: Does cleaning require disassembly?
A: No. Built-in spray balls and CIP interfaces support circulation cleaning of alkaline and acid cleaning solutions across all internal surfaces, without manual disassembly or scrubbing, meeting GMP inter-batch validation requirements.
Q: Which standards does the explosion-proof certification cover?
A: Electrical components can be configured to Class I Division 1/2 (North America) or ATEX Zone 1/2 (EU), suitable for ethanol and other Class IB flammable solvent operating environments.
Q: What custom configurations are supported?
A: The system uses a modular design. The CIP system, solvent recovery circuit, and vessel capacity can all be customized on demand. OEM/ODM engineering services are supported, with custom lead time approximately 30 business days. For special process requirements, feel free to communicate directly with our engineering team.
