Scharlab Introduces Nutsche Filters for Cannabis Extraction

Cannabis extraction requires a precise and efficient process to achieve high-purity products. Scharlab is pleased to introduce the innovative Scharlau Nutsche filters, designed to optimize cannabis extraction. These stirred reaction systems surpass the limitations of conventional methods like Büchner filtration and oven drying, offering an advanced solution for the extraction process.

Benefits of Nutsche Filters in Cannabis Extraction

  1. Hermetic and Secure Production: Nutsche filters ensure a hermetic production environment, eliminating contamination risks and guaranteeing the integrity of the final product.
  2. Multifunctional Capability: These reactors allow for agitation, separation, re-solution, rinsing, and dehydration in a single unit, simplifying and optimizing the extraction process, thereby reducing both time and operational costs.
  3. High Product Purity: Nutsche filters ensure exceptional purity in each extraction, meeting the highest quality standards.
  4. Spatial Efficiency and Cost Reduction: Combining multiple operations in one unit not only improves spatial efficiency but also reduces installation costs.
  5. Simplified Maintenance: The design of Nutsche filters facilitates easy cleaning and maintenance, enabling a continuous workflow and maximizing production time.

Filtration Method Used by Nutsche

Initially, the process begins by transferring the cannabis suspension to the Nutsche filter system. The filter membrane traps solids while residual liquids pass through the outlet valve and are collected in a trap flask. The easy-to-open lower flange allows for straightforward membrane changes and system cleaning after filtration is complete.

In applications requiring a solid product, it is found in its purest, crystalline form after filtration and drying. In other cases, the value lies in the filtered liquid, with retained solids discarded. Scharlau by Afora designs enable the use of both methods, ensuring efficient and high-quality operations.

Safety and Versatility

Nutsche reactors are made with high-quality, inert materials, ensuring safety during synthesis processes in controlled environments. Nutsche filters are suitable not only for the cannabis industry but also for pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals due to their versatility.
