The 5.HX: Compact Hydrocarbon Extraction with Full-Spectrum Control
Closed-Loop BHO Extraction System for Craft Cannabis Processing
The 5.HX Hydrocarbon Extractor from Decimal Engineered is designed to meet the growing demand for efficient, small-batch cannabis and hemp extraction. Ideal for boutique labs and operators focused on high-quality BHO concentrates, this system offers the flexibility to run with butane, propane, or custom solvent blends—supporting a wide range of end products including live resin, wax, and sauce.
Its closed-loop design prioritizes safety and solvent recovery, while jacketed vessels provide precise control over temperature throughout the extraction and recovery process. The 5.HX features ASME-certified pressure vessels and modular components, making it compliant, maintainable, and adaptable to changing production needs. Its compact footprint and user-friendly interface make it especially valuable in labs where space and workflow efficiency are a priority. Whether you’re starting a new operation or adding capacity for craft concentrates, the 5.HX delivers dependable performance without excess complexity.
- Lab-Scale Processing: Extracts 5 lb of biomass per run, 10 lb per hour, and approximately 80 lb per 8-hour shift.
- Passive Recovery System: Horizontal tube-in-shell condenser eliminates the need for noisy compressor pumps.
- Touchscreen HMI Control: Operate chillers and vacuum from inside the extraction booth via a C1D1 touchscreen interface.
- Single-User Friendly Design: Color-coded valve handles and labeled valve plates make SOPs simple to follow.
- Built to Last: Made in the USA with domestic stainless steel for lasting corrosion resistance, backed by hands-on installation and training.
