Ethanol Extraction

The two images below are examples of two different sized centrifuge style ethanol extraction machines:

The next image is an example of a rapid ethanol chiller, which brings ethanol alcohol to -40*c within 20 minutes.  Remember, the colder the ethanol, the less undesirable compounds will be extracted.

The last image is a Falling Film Evaporator, which is designed for solvent recovery and has the ability to remove ethanol at the same rate as 10, 50-liter rotary evaporators.
