Scalable Ethanol Extraction with the 20.EX

High-Output Ethanol Extraction for Cannabis and Hemp

The 20.EX is a high-performance ethanol centrifuge extractor built for cannabis and hemp processors who prioritize safety, speed, and consistency. This closed-loop system is capable of processing up to 500 pounds of biomass per 8-hour shift, with each cycle handling up to 20 pounds in just 15–20 minutes. Housed in a compact 24” x 31” x 33” footprint and weighing approximately 1,500 pounds, the 20.EX is ideal for operations looking to maximize throughput without sacrificing floor space.

Designed for cryogenic ethanol extraction at temperatures down to -40° C, the unit features a fully jacketed centrifuge chamber and solvent transfer system, ensuring optimal cannabinoid preservation and minimal solvent loss. The system’s C1D1 certification, coupled with an explosion-proof touchscreen tablet and umbilical control panel, allows for remote programming, data logging, and safe, hands-free operation. Its variable frequency drive enables smooth acceleration and deceleration, while all wetted components are made of durable 304L and 316 stainless steel for longevity and cleanability.

With automated solvent transfer between chilling tanks, filtration skids, and falling film recovery units, the 20.EX integrates easily into larger extraction workflows. Whether you’re expanding your capabilities or building from the ground up, the 20.EX offers a reliable, user-friendly platform to help you deliver clean, consistent cannabinoid extracts at scale.
