• The FC series extractors are used to extract natural oils, aromas, essences, perfumes and other natural substances from many products of the plant kingdom (flowers, roots, leaves, etc…).
• The extracts obtained can be used in many sectors: cosmetics, food, pharmaceuticals, especially for the creation of new products.
• The extraction process uses R134a gas which, under specific conditions, can extract natural oils and all volatile compounds of low molecular weight.
• The extraction takes place without any pre-treatment of any type of biomass (fresh or dried product).
• The whole extraction process is fully automatic and run by a powerful processor that controls the settings and variables during the different steps, displayed on the touch screen.
• Throughout the process, the gas is continuously filtered and then fully recovered and reused later, keeping it in anaerobic conditions of absolute hygiene.
• R134a gas is a safe solvent: it is approved by the FDA, the US government agency that regulates pharmaceutical products, and according to Directive 2009/32 EC of the European Parliament, which authorizes its use in the production of foodstuffs.
