Natural fat-soluble bioactive compound extraction systems
Supercritical CO2 extraction
Each substance in the gaseous state can enter the supercritical state by changing the pressure and temperature. The most commonly used gas is carbon dioxide, as it is easily accessible, relatively harmless, affordable, and enters the supercritical state under relatively undemanding physical conditions.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a unique solvent whose dissolving power can be regulated by changing the pressure and temperature during the extraction process. When the temperature and pressure exceed 31 °C and 74 bar(g), carbon dioxide enters the supercritical state. If the temperature drops below 31 °C, carbon dioxide enters the subcritical state.
Supercritical and subcritical gases act as solvents and can remove oils and hydrophobic components from plant materials. If the pressure is lowered under 41 bar(g), the gas enters its natural (gaseous) state and loses its dissolving power. This means it no longer has the ability to hold on to the dissolved oils and other removed components, which are consequently released in the form of a liquid, paste, or a solid product. The result is a completely natural extract with no solvent residue, which is why this extraction method is considered environmentally friendly.
MoSES extraction system
We have dedicated the last five decades to the development of process equipment for various sectors. Our product range includes standard supercritical extraction systems, but we also develop models which are adapted to the needs of our customers. The Škrlj MoSES system – certified and tested in accordance with EU standards – is a fully automated system designed for the sub- and supercritical CO2 extraction of natural bioactive compounds.
Due to the pressure loads, all pressure components (high-pressure pumps, pressure regulation system, high-pressure vessels) must be manufactured and tested in accordance with the applicable pressure equipment standards. The MoSES system is equipped with built-in electronic and mechanical protection devices which protect the system against errors and malfunctions and thus ensure a high level of operator safety.

The basis of the entire system is a compact support frame with a control cabinet, as well as a gas supply and pressure regulation system, while the modules with temperature-controlled extraction and collection vessels can be varied. This means that system flow and efficiency can be easily controlled and upgraded by changing the configuration of the extraction vessels or their sequence.
The system can optionally be equipped with an additional pump for organic solvent supply, which can improve extract quality and final extraction efficiency. This option also enables more optimal system cleaning in accordance with GMP guidelines.

CUBE2BREW // Slovenia
Mobile Container Brewery
Together with Dematech, our distributor for the South African region, we have designed and successfully carried out a mobile container brewery project. In November 2019, the Cube2Brew mobile brewery completed its first long journey as it travelled to Nürnberg, where it was part of, or better yet, the star of our stand at the BrauBeviale, a famous international beer brewing trade fair.
