The X-Spiral 4: A Smarter Way to Recover and Purify Solvents

Ideal for processors seeking a clean, energy-efficient alternative to traditional solvent recovery systems

The X-Spiral 4 is a commercial-scale membrane filtration system designed for cannabis and hemp processors who need a fast, efficient, and low-temperature way to recover solvents during post-extraction workflows. Instead of relying on heat, the system uses a gentle separation method that helps preserve cannabinoids, terpenes, and other sensitive components throughout the recovery process. Its design supports larger operations looking to improve consistency, streamline solvent management, and reduce energy demands. In addition to solvent recovery, the X-Spiral 4 can be configured to perform winterization or assist with color and pesticide remediation, giving processors the flexibility to handle multiple refinement steps on a single platform. By combining reliability, efficiency, and a compact layout, the X-Spiral 4 provides a practical, future-ready solution for labs aiming to enhance product quality and optimize their post-extraction workflow in the cannabis and hemp industry.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main purpose of the X-Spiral 4?

It is designed for large-scale solvent recovery in cannabis and hemp processing, helping facilities reclaim solvents efficiently while protecting sensitive compounds.

How does the system support product quality?

The low-temperature separation method helps preserve cannabinoids, terpenes, and other delicate components that can be damaged by heat-based equipment.

Can it be used for winterization?

Yes. The system can be configured to support winterization by removing fats and waxes at cold temperatures without using a separate setup.

Does it offer purification features?

With the appropriate membranes, the X-Spiral 4 can help with color or pesticide remediation, adding flexibility to downstream refinement.

Is installation complicated?

No. Its compact and modular design allows it to integrate smoothly into existing extraction or post-processing environments.

What solvents does it work with?

It is compatible with a wide range of organic solvents used in cannabis and hemp extraction workflows.

How much day-to-day maintenance is required?

Routine upkeep is straightforward, and the low-heat operation reduces wear on the system compared to traditional recovery methods.

Can the system be expanded?

Yes. Expansion racks and additional membranes can be added to increase functionality or scale capacity.

Are membrane changes difficult?

Membranes are simple to replace and can be swapped based on the needs of the processor.

How is this different from heat-based recovery systems?

Instead of evaporating and condensing solvent, the X-Spiral 4 uses membrane separation, offering a gentler, more energy-efficient, and more cost-effective approach.

How does it work?

The X-Spiral 4 uses a membrane-based process that separates solvents from extracted material without relying on heat. Instead of evaporating or boiling the solvent, the system gently guides the mixture across specialized membranes that allow the solvent to pass through while retaining larger compounds. This low-temperature approach helps preserve cannabinoids, terpenes, and other delicate components that could be affected by high heat. Because the process avoids phase changes, it operates smoothly and uses less energy, giving commercial facilities a consistent and efficient way to manage solvent recovery. The same platform can also be configured for winterization or purification steps, reducing the need for multiple separate systems.

What are the key applications?

The X-Spiral 4 supports several high-priority steps in cannabis and hemp post-extraction processing. Its main role is large-scale solvent recovery, helping processors reclaim solvents while protecting the integrity of sensitive plant compounds. The system can also be adapted to support winterization, providing a controlled way to remove fats and waxes at low temperatures. With the appropriate membranes, it can assist with color or pesticide remediation, allowing processors to refine material further without relying on separate equipment. By offering multiple functions on one platform, the X-Spiral 4 helps streamline workflows and reduce overall operational complexity in commercial facilities.
