Terpene Extraction Systems

Thermal terpene extraction uses controlled heat to separate terpenes from biomass. Precise temperature control is essential because terpenes are volatile and can degrade when exposed to too much heat.

Terpene extraction helps preserve aroma and flavor, improves product consistency, and creates new revenue opportunities. Extracted terpenes can be used in vapes, edibles, tinctures, topicals, and as standalone ingredients.

Look for precise temperature control, durable stainless-steel construction, consistent batch-to-batch results, and easy operation. Also consider capacity, footprint, and power requirements to make sure the system fits your facility and production goals.

It depends on the system. The TES-5 is designed for small-batch processing of up to 5 lb of biomass, while the TES-20 is a mid-scale system that handles up to 20 lb.

Terpene extraction lets cannabis and hemp processors capture a cultivar’s unique aroma and flavor before downstream processing removes them. Recovered terpenes can be reintroduced into distillates, vape formulations, and infused products, restoring strain character, improving consumer appeal, reducing reliance on purchased terpenes, and adding a product line from existing biomass.

Yes, in many cases. The TES-5 and TES-20 are designed with compact footprints that fit through a standard doorway, which makes installation easier in a wide range of facilities. Power requirements differ by model, so confirm your electrical setup before purchasing.

Start with your biomass volume, product goals, facility space, and room to scale. A small-batch system suits testing and new product lines, while a mid-scale system suits growing production. The Root Sciences team can help you match equipment to your workflow.
