LPG RECIPROCATING GAS COMPRESSORS
Oil-Free C1D1 LPG Gas Compressors for Liquid Transfer and Vapor Recovery
ACTIVE SOLVENT RECOVERY
SUPERCHARGE YOUR SOLVENT RECOVERY WITH PRODIGY'S GC SERIES
Active solvent recovery in LPG (liquid petroleum gases), BHO and butane or propane cannabis extraction using a gas compressor is (often referred to as a solvent recovery pump) a process that assists in vapor recovery and efficiently recovers solvents used in the extraction of cannabinoids from cannabis material for adult recreational, medical cannabis, and pharmaceutical applications.
Depending on the specific setup, operating parameters, and other factors, active recovery can be up to 4-10 times quicker than passive operation. Active systems not only speed up the process but also are more efficient in solvent recovery, leading to less waste and lower operating costs over time.
All Prodigy GC Series gas compressors are equipped with a ductile iron head and cylinders, high-efficiency valves, steel pistons, self-adjusting piston rod seals and other robust features designed for quiet efficient handling of propane, butane, and anhydrous ammonia. Even under the most severe service conditions, the GC Series gas compressors offer the best-combined characteristics of sustained high-level performance, energy efficiency, trouble-free operation and low maintenance cost. Prodigy’s GC Series LPG gas compressors are the ultimate solvent recovery solution for efficient extraction of butane or propane.
GC LUX
The GC LUX cannabis extraction gas compressor (solvent recovery pump) is the smallest model of PRODIGY’s GC Series Compressors and is capable of achieving a vapor recovery flow rate of ~8.45 cubic feet per minute (CFM), or 14.35 m3/hr, all while efficiently producing the 90-100 psi (6.2-6.9 bar) that is necessary to facilitate the butane-recovery process.. The GC LUX features double seals that have passed various leakage tests, as well as a pressurized oil-pump circuit on the heavy-duty crankcase – which is coated with a special epoxy that protects the interior – that forces oil onto the unit’s bearings, wrist pins and connecting rods.
