Large Scale Ethanol Extraction

All systems can be customized for specific end-user requirements, with the ability to adjust the extraction to both a cryogenic or heated operation. The ROTAX is designed to give full control over all operational parameters such as temperature, residence time, and flow rates, giving the user the flexibility to increase production up to 1000 lbs/hr with reduced extraction efficiencies.

Features
  • Temperature controlled counter-current solvent extraction
  • Up to 1000 lb/hr biomass rate
  • Fully automated controls
  • 600 gallon Solvent storage
  • Up to 4000 lb/hr solvent feed and recovery rate
  • 300 gallon miscella holding tank
  • 150 gallon oil collection tank
  • Down to 0.5% solvent remaining in Product Stream
  • In-line spent biomass drying and solvent reproofing
  • National Electrical Code Hazard Environment location ratings available (etc. C1D1)

New Product: Waterless CIP Skid

This video highlights a Waterless CIP Skid designed for food and beverage processing environments where introducing water is not an option or where moisture must be tightly controlled. Instead of traditional water-based cleaning, this system uses a heated, oil-based cleaning medium to safely and effectively clean tanks and process equipment in a closed-loop configuration.
