SuperCube 1000+ for Extraction
Extraction from hemp of CBD, cannabis of THC, terpenes, and other herbal extracts can be accomplished. Light essential oils and heavier lipid products can also be collected by adjusting the process controls and instrumentation.
Advantages:
The advantages of the SuperCube using CO2 “solvent” over the more conventional ethanol and butane solvent methods:
- Fully automatic
- By adjusting the pressure, the user can choose what products to extract.
- The CO2 “solvent” is far less expensive and can be 100% recycled.
- No hazardous residue
- Not highly flammable like ethanol
- The process and level of automation can be expanded for volume production scales.

Certifications
The SuperCube 1000+ is fully compliant with the following directives:
- CE Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC
- CE EMC Directive 2014/30/EU
- UKCA Mark
- UL 61010-1
Options
We recognize that the standard specification may not suit everyone; therefore, we offer several options for this machine:
- Medium Pressure Option – Upgrade your SuperCube 1000+ to allow a maximum operating pressure of 6000 psi / 400 bar
- High Pressure Option – Upgrade your SuperCube 1000+ to allow a maximum operating pressure of 7,500 psi / 500 bar
- SuperCube Recycler – The recycler option allows you to turn the SuperCube into a closed-loop CO2 system and prevent waste CO2 entering the atmosphere. This will drastically reduce your ongoing operating costs of the equipment.
- Up-flow / Down-flow Selector – As standard, the CO2 will flow through the vessel from the top down. If you would like the option for it to flow from the bottom up, we can provide a manual selector valve to allow you to easily switch between.
- Co-solvent Pump – For your co-solvent input
- Air Compressor – We can provide an air compressor matched to the SuperCube’s requirements.
