200 years of supercritical fluids

PharmaHemp, one of the world's leading companies in the field of research, development, processing, and laboratory testing of raw materials and industrial hemp products has taken a major step forward by acquiring a highly efficient CO₂ extraction system that can be used to obtain plant extracts for the food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries. High-quality materials, complete customer service, technical support, and proximity are just some of the reasons why the Slovenian company SK Škrlj from the Vipava Valley prevailed over its global competitors from Asia, America, and Europe.

Automation can be described as automatic and intelligent system management that facilitates the operator's work and reduces the chances of human error during the work process. In complex processes, such as extraction under supercritical conditions (high pressures and elevated temperatures), automation reduces numerous risks and ensures standardized system operation in accordance with occupational safety standards. 

All our work is performed in accordance with strict European quality standards. High quality has always been our main priority, which has also helped us enter and solidify our place on established international markets.

The extraction of nutrients and natural products has a long history - its origins can be traced all the way back to the ancient civilizations. At the time, the extracts were used for food, cosmetic and spiritual purposes, much like today. Today it is impossible to find a production process in the food, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, advanced materials, and chemical industries or the production of biofuels that does not include extraction processes. 

A company in the Vipava Valley has developed a modern and safe system, which can be used for the extraction of CBD oil

What is supercritical CO2 extraction?

Supercritical and/or subcritical extraction is a process used to obtain extracts and other substances using gases which are under super- or subcritical conditions. Each substance in the gaseous state can be converted to the supercritical state by changing the p...
