Key Advantages

Our solventless extraction systems are engineered to deliver superior performance across every metric — efficiency, scalability, cost-effectiveness, and safety — redefining what’s possible in natural extraction at industrial scale.

Lower Energy Requirements

Herbolea’s solventless extraction technologies operate with exceptionally low energy consumption — as little as 0.15 kWh per kilogram of fresh plant material, up to 90% less energy than conventional extraction methods.

Operating without high temperatures or pressure, our systems drastically reduce energy demand while preserving the plant’s natural integrity. This unmatched efficiency sets a new standard in industrial sustainability and environmental responsibility.

Operational Advantages

Our systems are designed for simplicity, reliability, and scalability — ensuring consistent performance and minimal operational overhead.

• Simple, One-Step Process – Streamlined extraction with minimal post-processing, reducing time and complexity.

• Validated Procedures – Complete IOPQ protocols and SOPs provided by Herbolea ensure compliance, repeatability, and GMP readiness.

• Full Automation – Advanced control systems deliver precise, consistent results with minimal manual intervention.

• Minimal Workforce Requirement – Only one non-skilled operator is needed for standard operation, minimizing labor and training costs.

• Continuous Technical Support – Remote monitoring and on-demand assistance ensure uninterrupted system uptime and performance.

Industrial Specifications

Every Herbolea system is GMP-ready, modular, and scalable, designed to integrate seamlessly into any industrial environment.

• GMP-Ready Design – Fully compliant with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications.

• Standardized Throughput Range – Available in 10, 20, 50, and 100 kg/h dry equivalent configurations, scalable to over 1,000 kg/h for industrial throughput.

• Compact Footprint – Requires only 30–80 m² of working space depending on capacity, optimizing layout efficiency and facility integration.

Cost-Efficient & Asset-Light

Herbolea’s solventless extraction approach eliminates traditional barriers to industrial adoption — reducing both CAPEX and OPEX while accelerating time to production.

• No Upfront CAPEX – Licensing and turnkey delivery models remove the need for major capital investment.

• Wet Processing Advantage – Direct processing of fresh plant material eliminates drying, storage, and inventory costs.

• Simplified Infrastructure – Solventless technology reduces permitting and facility build-out complexity.

• Lower Consumable Usage – Minimal inputs and maintenance deliver reduced operating costs and improved ROI.

Safety

Herbolea systems are inherently safe, operating under mild conditions and free from volatile substances — ensuring maximum protection for operators and the environment.

• Mild Operating Temperatures – Processes run at 50–55 °C, preserving compound integrity and product quality.

• No Pressure Applied – Systems operate without pressurized vessels, minimizing mechanical risk and maintenance needs.

• No Volatile or Flammable Materials – Solventless operation eliminates hazardous substances, ensuring full environmental and operator safety.
