The 1lb Bi-Directional closed loop increases efficiency by utilizing both a bottom and top solvent input. By using a bottom flood on the first wash, you ensure all material has seen solvent. This method preventing channeling through the material. Finish the run with a top flood input to ensure all residuals have been washed from the material. Oil bearing solvent is collected in the collection base under the material column. Once collected, solvent is distilled and recovered, leaving the oils in the collection base. This is a passive unit that utilizes pressure differences created by manipulating temperature to move solvent.

Extractor Configurations:

• Explorer: Our standard bi-directional extractor model.  Comes with a welded bottom base and standard LP tank.  This model provides all the benefits of the Orthrus design without any bells and whistles.  The Explorer model is perfect for those looking to get the bi-directional performance but have a budget. Explorer models can be upgraded after purchase.
• Professional: This model features upgrades to help produce a higher quality extract.  Solvent is entered into the system through an injection coil.  This coil is chilled with dry ice and alcohol, dropping solvent temperatures to dewax inline. Fats and waxes are not soluble when solvent temperature is subzero, so chilling solvent on input is the simplest way to achieve high clarity extract.  The Professional also comes with a removable bottom on the collection base. This makes removal of extract after the run as easy as possible.  High pressure clamps give greater solvent compatibility, allowing propane to be used.
• Elite:  The Elite series is our fully upgraded Orthrus model.  The elite series adds a level of dependability needed for those seeking to produce the highest quality extracts.  The elite series comes with all American instrumentation valves by SSP, an AVCO ultra-low temperature inline ball valve and jacketed collection base.  Full dewaxing is guaranteed by combining both an injection coil and sleeved column.  Both units are packed with dry ice, making both solvent and material sub-zero temperatures.  The material column is fitted with a nitrogen assist port, which helps ensure no solvent gets stuck with the material.  The jacketed collection gives precision during recovery, allowing a heated fluid to be circulated around the base.  This method keeps temperature both accurate and consistent.  *NOTE* This model requires a heater circulator or chiller
