Enerquip Heat Exchangers for Cannabis Processing
Although the surge in demand for heat exchangers to support the hemp and cannabis oil processing market is rather recent, Enerquip has been designing and building shell and tube exchangers for extraction, condensing, cooling and superheating for many years. Enerquip has assisted several extraction system OEM’s in designing condensers, coolers, and reboilers for pilot scale test systems as well as larger commercial scale systems.
Our experience in building equipment to the sanitary ASME-BPE standards and 3-A sanitary standards ensures that the stainless steel heat exchangers that we design will be safe for processing products being consumed by their customers.
Our customers also value the safety standards that we follow, including the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, which gives them the peace of mind that our exchangers will safely hold up to the most rigorous cryogenic and high temperature applications when subjected to vacuum and high pressure conditions.
Enerquip designs each exchanger to be easy to disassemble, inspect, clean and maintain. Stainless steel product contact surfaces all have a food-grade finish of 32Ra or better. Gaskets are chemical resistant and easy to replace. Product connections can be sanitary tri-clamp ferrules or ANSI flanges. Frequently, straight tube designs are used instead of U-tubes because they are easier to clean thoroughly.
Since many of the exchangers that Enerquip designs for oil extraction processes are custom, there are a wide variety of styles, orientations and upgrade options available. Get started by speaking to an Enerquip Sales Engineer.
