PDX.Gold Announces New Line of High-Tech Extraction Equipment for Cannabis and Hemp Industry
New ‘STAR 150’ And ‘STAR-OEM’ Hydrocarbon Vapor Recovery Systems Guaranteed To Produce Efficient, High-Quality Botanical Extraction At A Low Operational Cost
​
November 17, 2020 (Portland, OR) — PDX.Gold, a designer of one-of-a-kind high-performance and high-quality extraction equipment for cannabis and hemp plants, today announces that its new Solvent Transfer and Recovery (STAR) pump systems are now available for purchase. Featuring a compact design with a smaller size footprint and a lower price than PDX.Gold’s existing line of best-in-class pumps, the new STAR 150 and STAR-OEM hydrocarbon vapor recovery systems are guaranteed to provide the same high level of performance and safety expected from other PDX.Gold products and models. Ideal for any extractor who uses a hydrocarbon process, the STAR product is highly unique given its oil-less design, speed, reliability, and low-maintenance operation which make them the best available on the market.
“With best in class performance, reliability and cost of ownership, this scalable design is perfect for extractors of any size”. – Phil Cronin, Vice President of Engineering and Operations
One of the most challenging concerns among extractors in the industry is the potential for downtime and lost revenue. Many pumps available today on the market are prone to failed seals, reduced vacuum power, diaphragms that rupture, and many other issues that require maintenance or even a full replacement. These cause a loss of both time and money along with the potential of disappointing
crucial customers and driving them to move their business elsewhere. With the new STAR 150 and STAR-OEM systems, these concerns were taken into account from the beginning of the design process, guaranteeing that customers who invest in a STAR pump will benefit from stable cycles of efficient production and lower operational costs over time.
Design features of the STAR 150 pump include its ability to be stacked, allowing extractor end users and extractor manufacturer to customize their systems to double (“Twin-STAR”) or triple (“Tri-STAR”) recovery rates while utilizing the same size footprint as a single unit. For the STAR-OEM product, the pump features the same power of the STAR 150 but does not feature a unit frame. This pump will allow manufacturers to easily integrate STAR-OEM into their existing extraction designs, whether stacked as a recovery pump next to their machinery or integrated into a design so that the pump is out of the way and not underfoot.
PDX.Gold’s STAR pumps are manufactured in Oregon, USA and are peer reviewed and 3rd party PE certified. The units are safe-to-use and certified to under the applicable sections of UL 1389, NFPA 58 and IFC 2018 codes and standards and are approved for use in more regions across the United States than any other PDX.Gold pump. The states and territories approved for use consist of Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky. Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Washington, Washington D.C., and Wyoming.
