Achieving high yields, high quality, and high throughput in extraction production is a challenge. Vacuum-based control is the key to maintaining the maximum yield balance.

Filtering winterized extract is a critical step in every extraction process. Done well, it can accelerate production. Done poorly, it can become a bottleneck.

Filtering winterized extract is a critical step in every extraction process. Selecting a pump that is reliable and offers the right vacuum levels can accelerate production.

Vacuum technology plays an important role in various steps in the cannabis extraction process from filtering winterized extract to separating high purity product. Selecting and properly using the right vacuum pump will help achieve faster process times and improve product quality. In this conversation, Scott Leahy, Director of Product Marketing Management at BrandTech® Scientific, discusses the role vacuum has in cannabis extraction and important considerations when selecting a pump for your process.


Streamlining the process of sample extraction in the lab can be achieved by reducing repetitive and time-consuming tasks with safe and convenient solutions for higher throughput.

The equipment used to achieve deep, stable vacuum, and separate fractions at the lowest possible temperature is critical to the process. Learn how using precise vacuum control allows for more efficient separation of plant oils and terpenes.

Finding the right combination of temperature and pressure allows the drying or evaporation process in a purge oven to be efficient. Learn how the vacuum pump used with a purge oven can maximize solvent recovery.

Filtering winterized extract requires strong vacuum in the right range to avoid product loss. VACUUBRAND’s application note addresses the essentials of flow and vacuum depth.

Running a Rotavap efficiently, and completing the evaporation at the fastest possible speed, is a matter of balancing the rate of evaporation with rate of condensation. Vacuum pump selection is critical to the efficiency.
