CO2 & Multi-Solvent Extraction Systems
Polaramax™ Hero
Run in mono solvent mode (CO2) or multi-solvent mode (CO2 plus a small amount of cosolvent such as ethanol). Easily switch back and forth as your needs require.
These automated systems combine the many benefits of CO2 (like purity, tunability, and consistency) with the optional added efficacy of cosolvent injection (like more throughput and selectivity).
You get greater effectiveness—and more possibilities.
Execute your current vision. And prepare for change with equipment that’s flexible enough to help you pivot when unexpected customer preferences push you to create new or different products.

Vitalis Certifications & System Compliance
Benefits of Vitalis CO2 Coffee Extraction Technology
-
Cleaner Products
With CO2 extraction, you get clean products out of the system: no residual solvents of the type traditionally measured by regulators. Any CO2 in your collected product evaporates away, quickly and naturally—an easy selling point for health-conscious consumers.
-
Closed-Loop Extraction
The CO2 in a Vitalis system is recycled and reused as part of the process, which involves continuous cleaning and purification. That lowers your environmental impact and provides ongoing cost-effectiveness.
-
Lower Energy Use
Integrated refrigeration with heat recovery can greatly reduce your energy costs and consumption. It can diminish the need for less-efficient third-party chilling and heating equipment.
-
Preservation of Delicate Compounds
Vitalis CO2 systems can operate with both liquid and supercritical CO2. You can extract and separate valuable (but fragile) molecules at cold temperatures and low pressures to eliminate thermal degradation.
Added Benefits of Vitalis Cosolvent Injection Technology
-
More Throughput
Achieve much faster run-times and up to 233% greater throughput each day than by using CO2 alone.* All without sacrificing the quality you expect.
-
Lower Operating Costs
Cut your recurring solvent and energy use by substantial amounts so that you lower your cost of producing each gram of finished product.
-
Expanded Selectivity
Easily extract compounds that could otherwise be a challenge with CO2 alone. Pull out the polar and non-polar substances you need for your products.
-
Easy Integration
Get up and running without making a separate space to meet safety regulations. Unlike most solvent systems, these solutions don’t require a special room.
* Throughput numbers are based on multiple extractions in a 24-hour cycle, specific potency and recovery figures, and a specific mill size. Additional factors, including SOPs (standard operating procedures) and system configuration, will also contribute to system performance.
No Excuses Necessary
-
Reliable
Higher uptime means higher profits. With a solution from Vitalis, you can run near-continuous operations and know we’ve got your back if you need service or support.
