The 15.HX: Efficient BHO Extraction for Expanding Labs

Commercial-Scale Hydrocarbon Extraction for Cannabis and Hemp

The 15.HX hydrocarbon extractor offers a scalable solution for cannabis and hemp processors ready to increase capacity while maintaining product quality and regulatory compliance. Designed to handle larger batch sizes than smaller models, the 15.HX provides a balance between output and control, which is ideal for operations that produce BHO concentrates such as terpene-rich live resin, crumble, or diamonds. 

The system operates as a closed-loop platform, allowing for safe and efficient solvent recovery using butane, propane, or custom blends. Each vessel is jacketed for accurate thermal regulation, supporting temperature-sensitive extraction and recovery steps. With ASME-certified pressure vessels, the 15.HX meets industry standards and is suitable for labs aiming to meet GMP or state regulatory requirements. Its modular design also allows for future integration with additional recovery systems or post-processing equipment. Whether upgrading from a smaller extractor or establishing a mid-scale lab, the 15.HX offers the reliability and performance needed to support high-quality BHO production.

Equipment Highlights
  • High Throughput: Processes up to 15 lb of biomass per run, with a capacity of 200+ lb per 8-hour shift.
  • Fully Jacketed System: Material columns, solvent vessels, and surge tanks all offer precise temperature control down to -60° C.
  • Smart Automation: Explosion-proof touchscreen inside the booth controls temperature, chiller, and vacuum functions.
  • Built-In Safety Scale: Integrated solvent tank load sensors eliminate the need for a separate C1D1 scale.
  • Built to Last: Made in the USA with domestic stainless steel for lasting corrosion resistance, backed by hands-on installation and training.
