Clean, Consistent Pharmaceutical and Nutraceutical Products
Target and extract the active ingredients you need, without damaging what remains.
With Vitalis’ clean technology, you can create medicinal or natural health products of the highest quality—at scale—efficiently and compliantly.
Cleaner Tech for Higher Expectations
-
Energy-Efficient
Consume less electricity with integrated refrigeration and heat recovery in our new CO2 & multi-solvent extraction systems. Run efficient CO2-only extractions or inject a little cosolvent to speed things up—with far less energy than traditional solutions.
-
Closed-Loop
Recover and recycle the CO2 in your Vitalis system as part of its standard operation. In addition to lower operating expenses and reduced environmental impact, the continuous cleaning and purification of CO2 aids with making better products.
-
Purity-Capable
Extract active ingredients with no residual solvent by using CO2 alone. For processes requiring polar solvents, dramatically reduce your solvent use and speed up your extractions by using multi-solvent mode. Achieve pure, pharma-grade products with up to 90% less solvent compared to traditional methods.
-
Liquid & Supercritical
Preserve terpenes or other volatile compounds of high value by using subcritical CO2 extraction and cold separation. Turn up the pressure and temperature to efficiently extract more complex molecules like carotenoids with supercritical CO2 and cosolvents.
Legal Cannabis & Hemp Extraction
Purity and consistency are at the heart of superior products that people consume or apply for therapeutic benefit. That’s why licensed producers around the world use Vitalis systems to gently pull anything from delicate terpenes to potent cannabinoids from their biomass.
European manufacturers of medicinal extracts have chosen Vitalis technology to get up and running with EU-GMP-compliant production processes.
Top Product Lines Are Powered by Vitalis
Companies like Fume, Heritage Cannabis, MediPharm Labs, Curaleaf, Redecan, and Eagle Hemp use Vitalis extraction systems in the production of end products like broad-spectrum oils, elixirs, tinctures, vape cartridges, drink mix powders, beverage enhancers, gummies, and more.
Extraction for Nutraceuticals and Pharma Alternatives
We’re experts at working with some of the world’s most complex natural materials (like cannabis and hemp). That means Vitalis technology is engineered to extract almost any active compound from nearly any type of biomass that offers health-giving potential.
Astaxanthin, a carotenoid found in certain kinds of algae, is just one example of an active compound with high potential that can be extracted with Vitalis systems.
Oil from sea buckthorn, a plant prized for its vitamins and other bioactive properties, is another example.
From kratom to psilocybin, the possibilities are immense for extracting other active ingredients with the purity you need for pharma alternatives or nutraceutical products.
