8.5lb Icarus

8.5 lb Icarus True Dewax Closed Loop Extractor

The Icarus unit shares the same function of the standard Bi-directional extractors, but features rack mounting for ease of use. It is also the 8.5lb True Dewax unit. By utilizing an input manifold for the solvent, the user can switch from bottom flood to a top input on the material column. This method ensures that all material has been saturated and rinsed of oils on the first run. The oil-bearing solvent then dumps into a sleeved spool, where it is chilled with dry ice. Once the solvent has chilled, waxes and lipids will coagulate and fall out of the solution. The solution is then filtered and dumped into a collection base. The rack unit comes standard with a port for nitrogen assistance.
