The term ‘solvent’ refers to several chemical substances which are used to dissolve or dilute other substances or materials. They are usually organic liquids. Solvents usually have a low boiling point and evaporate easily or can be removed by distillation, thereby leaving the dissolved substance behind. Solvents should therefore not react chemically with the dissolved compounds—they must be inert.
The cannabis market uses three main extraction techniques: CO2, liquefied hydrocarbons, and ethanol extraction. Below explains each method and how the extraction takes place and who and why some would use one specific method over another.
You just bought a new Digivac Dinamo valve and you’re excited to get it up and running. This blog provides your tips for optimizing your system when adding the Dinamo valve with either the StrataVac Touch or FYRA controllers.
Strata Blog | DigiVac captures how StrataCapture can aid in many applications and system performances through a series of interviews and testimonies
Some materials are super sensitive to temperature making it more difficult to vacuum dry . It is crucial to make sure that the temperature remains constant as it can end in a loss of materials if an error were to happen. Not being able to completely control your vacuum can result in making you restart the process back to square one.
Rotary evaporators are advanced scientific instruments that are commonly used in chemical laboratories, processing laboratories and in research to facilitate fractionation. This separation process allows the solvents to be removed gently through evaporation and the precise control of the temperature.
Solvent recovery is the process of extracting target products from waste or by-product solvents generated during the manufacturing process. These chemicals can then be repurposed, reducing the need to produce or purchase new solvents, while eliminating a large amount of waste and removing potentially hazardous substances from the primary processed material
Many people come to find out that they have problems when it comes to vacuuming powder. Especially drying fine powder that tends to get puffed up and pulled into the vacuum pump flooding it. With the pumps flooded this leads to an unfortunate problem, one you end up losing the powders you’re trying dry and two it isn’t the best for your pump either.
The precise vacuum control of the SNAP is driven by the integrated patent-pending Dinamo valve with delivers both proportional vacuum control as well as proportional bleed control and supports high flow with KF25 orifices so its ideal for your larger cubic foot ovens. The internal sensor is isolated from your vacuum drying process so that the sensor won’t get contaminated and vapors will not disrupt your readings. The SNAP is designed for highly precise control and is ideal for automating vacuum oven control in the 1 torr to 775 torr range. With the SNAP you are able to Automate your vacuum control through the click of a button.
Since each of Digvac’s Gauges are tested and calibrated under vacuum before it leaves our shop, we ensure that our gaugges will provide the utmost accuracy with readings you can trust. The Bullseye Precision Gauge family of products are targeted to different ranges of vacuum so choose the one that fits the range of vacuum that is important to you and whether or not you want Bluetooth capability for process documentation and remote monitoring.
