Subcritical Fluid Extraction

Subcritical fluid extraction is widely used in many fields, including the extraction of natural plant and animal active ingredients, the extraction of active ingredients in traditional Chinese medicine (including compound preparations) and the separation of harmful fat-soluble ingredients, insect extracts, animal extracts, natural pigments, special fats, and the extraction of special oils and fats.

At our facilities, we build subcritical extraction equipment that bridges the gap between traditional methods and supercritical complexity. Our subcritical fluid extraction machine leverage gentle, liquid-phase solvents below their critical point to deliver superior yields of heat-sensitive compounds, all while operating at manageable pressures.

Why Choose Our GK Series Subcritical Fluid Extraction?

 

  • True Gentle Extraction: We keep solvents subcritical – liquid and effective, not supercritical. This means lower pressures (<1 MPa vs. >7 MPa for SFE), lower temperatures (<40°C), and perfect preservation of delicate actives like terpenes, pigments, vitamins, and fragile lipids. Say goodbye to thermal degradation.
  • Unmatched Solvent Flexibility: Whether you need the strong lipophilic affinity of butane/propane, the mid-polarity of DME, the safety of R134a, or the unique properties of subcritical water/ammonia – our SUS304 systems handle them safely and efficiently. Optimize your process, not your solvent.
  • Built for Safety & Longevity: We don't compromise. Military-grade safety systems (pressure relief, gas detection, emergency cutoffs, nitrogen purging) are integral. Full SUS304 construction ensures corrosion resistance and decades of reliable service under demanding conditions.
  • Engineered Efficiency: Our integrated multi-stage separation and >98% solvent recovery systems dramatically cut operational costs. High-efficiency condensers and pumps minimize energy use while maximizing throughput.
  • Simplified Operation: Automatic PLC controls manage pressure, temperature, cycles, and solvent flow precisely. Focus on your product, not the dials. Consistent results batch after batch.
