The X-Spiral 8: Industrial-Scale Solvent Recovery for High-Volume Facilities
Ideal for facilities seeking a powerful, low-temperature approach to solvent recovery and post-extraction purification
The X-Spiral 8 is an industrial-scale membrane filtration system designed for processors who need a reliable, energy-efficient way to recover solvents at high volumes without exposing material to damaging heat. By operating at low temperatures, it helps preserve cannabinoids, terpenes, and other delicate components that are essential to product quality in cannabis and hemp processing. Its automated touchscreen interface provides consistent control over key steps in the workflow, making it easier for large facilities to maintain throughput while reducing manual oversight. In addition to solvent recovery, the platform can be adapted for winterization or further purification, allowing multiple post-extraction processes to run on the same system. Built for continuous operation in demanding environments, the X-Spiral 8 gives processors a scalable, future-ready solution for improving efficiency and supporting high-volume production while maintaining the integrity of their extracts.
Frequently Asked Questions
It is designed for industrial-scale solvent recovery, giving cannabis and hemp processors a way to handle high volumes while protecting product quality.
The system operates at low temperatures using membrane separation instead of boiling, which helps reduce thermal stress on sensitive plant compounds.
No. While it is well suited for cannabis and hemp extraction streams, it can also be configured for other botanical, flavor, fragrance, and specialty chemical applications.
Yes. With the appropriate membranes, the platform can be used for winterization and for additional cleanup steps such as color or pesticide remediation.
The touch-screen interface and built-in control logic help standardize recipes, monitor system health, and handle alarms, which reduces manual intervention and supports consistent performance.
The X-Spiral 8 is built on a compact, skid-based layout that is designed to tie into existing tanks, piping, and utility connections in industrial processing areas.
It is compatible with a wide range of organic solvents commonly used in extraction and purification workflows, and can be configured around the specific solvents used in a facility.
Instead of evaporating and condensing the solvent, the X-Spiral 8 uses membranes and pressure, which typically requires far less energy and is gentler on the product.
Routine maintenance focuses on monitoring membranes, checking seals and pumps, and following standard cleaning procedures. The absence of constant heating and cooling cycles can reduce wear compared with some traditional designs.
Yes. The platform is designed so that additional membrane racks and options can be added if a facility needs more capacity or wants to unlock additional processing functions.
The X-Spiral 8 uses a membrane-based process to separate solvents from extracted material without relying on high heat. Instead of evaporating and condensing the solvent, the system gently moves the mixture across selective membranes that allow the solvent to pass through while retaining larger compounds. This low-temperature approach helps protect cannabinoids, terpenes, and other delicate components that are sensitive to heat, which is especially important in cannabis and hemp processing.
Because the separation happens in a continuous, pressure-driven cycle, the system can handle high volumes while maintaining a steady, controlled process. Facilities gain a consistent way to manage solvent recovery that reduces stress on equipment, cuts energy use compared with traditional methods, and supports reliable, repeatable post-extraction workflows at an industrial scale.
The X-Spiral 8 is designed for high-volume solvent recovery in cannabis and hemp processing, as well as other botanical and specialty chemical applications. Its primary role is to reclaim solvents from extraction streams so they can be reused, helping processors lower operating costs and reduce waste. Because the process is gentle and low-temperature, it supports product quality while managing large throughputs.
Beyond bulk solvent recovery, the platform can be configured with alternate membranes to support additional refinement goals. These can include winterization to remove fats and waxes, or targeted purification steps such as color or pesticide remediation. This flexibility allows processors to perform multiple post-extraction tasks with a single core system rather than relying on separate pieces of equipment for each step.
