cbd crystallization equipment by NiTech Solutions

What does a NiTech crystallizer look like?

NiTech^® continuous crystallizers are manufactured to suit the required throughput rate and start composition of CBD distillate. Here are some example units (intermediate and larger sizes also available):

The DN15 Standard – Glass

The smallest unit:
A laboratory/small-scale unit, with an output of ~ 0.9 kg/h of CBD isolate (crystals leave the COBC in a slurry to be filtered and dried downstream).

DN32 sch. 10s ATEX/C1D1 – 316L Stainless steel

A production unit:
Output of ~ 7 kg/h CBD isolate (crystals leave the COBC in a slurry to be filtered and dried downstream).

DN50 sch. 10s ATEX/C1D1 – 316L Stainless steel

A large production unit:
Output of ~ 12 kg/h CBD isolate (crystals leave the COBC in a slurry to be filtered and dried downstream).

Notes:

Based on an example system of:
1. 88 % w/w CBD in distillate;
2. ~ 0.6:1 w/v distillate to heptane;
3. 17 % w/w of 50 micron CBD isolate seed crystals added as part of a slurry;
4. 50 minutes cooling time; and
5. 0⁰C final temperature.
“Net” CBD isolate production rate is quoted to account for the mass of CBD isolate crystals which must be recycled as seed material.
