Brazil Cupuacu Oil extraction by Careddi SCFE machine

The Careddi 20L (10Lx2) Supercritical CO₂ Extraction System represents a sophisticated solution for producing high-quality botanical oils, particularly suited for extracting oil from Brazilian cupuaçu (Theobroma grandiflorum) seeds . This advanced equipment, crafted from stainless steel, is engineered to operate under high pressure (up to 40-50 MPa) and features precise temperature control, making it ideal for processing delicate, high-value raw materials . Cupuaçu seeds are prized for their high fat content, averaging 62%, with a composition and properties similar to cocoa butter, offering significant potential for the cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and food industries . The Careddi extractor's supercritical fluid technology is an optimal method to process these seeds. It utilizes CO₂ in a state above its critical point to efficiently and selectively separate the oil from the seed matrix. Unlike conventional solvent extraction, this process yields a pure, solvent-free product with no toxic residues . The system comprises two 10L extraction vessels, separators, and a fully integrated pump and heating/cooling system . Its clean and environmentally friendly operation is a key advantage, as it allows for the production of a premium, contaminant-free cupuaçu butter ideal for high-end cosmetics and pharmaceutical formulations . The Careddi 20L is the perfect choice for businesses seeking to produce sustainable, high-purity botanical extracts.
