1.2 Ounce Table Top
Extractors are now ready and available for ordering.
We make 100 extractors at a time and I can not say how
long these will last but I will be able to make them more frequently for
future orders.
INFO AND FAQ
TAMISIUM BUTANE EXTRACTORS
A Tamisium Butane Extractor is the first commercially produced extractor
designed to use a liquid hydrocarbon as the primary extraction solvent.
Primarily
N-Butane.
There is no other extractor like it in the world.
patent pending 61/217,911
Butane is a non toxic, non polar solvent and will extract with great
efficiency while preserving the integrity of the components of the plants.
If other polarity solvents are required, other solvents can be added before
the extraction process initiates using an accessory tank.
Custom made extractors range in capacity from 3 gallons (3 kilos) down to
our new table top model Extractor that extracts oil and other chemicals from
just over an ounce of plant material.
A Tamisium Butane Extractor is a totally closed system and the butane is never exposed to the air during extraction or recovery of the solvents used. It is a cold extraction process with minimal pressure and temperatures differentials ranging below freezing to about 110F if desired. Very easy to use and simple to understand. If you are using any other extraction process, This extractor will make your extraction business much easier, safer, and faster.
It has been said that no extraction solvent has ever
captured the total essence and aroma of a flower in all it's delicacy as has
been done when using the solvent butane. As a matter of fact, there are some
essential oils, aromas and plant chemicals that can not be captured by any
other means than by using butane as the primary solvent.
This extractor is not limited to essential oil extractions, perfumes or rare
botanicals. It may be the most versatile extractor ever produced. The
variety of botanicals and limitations of products you can extract with a
Tamisium Butane Extractor has not been reached yet. It appears to have no
boundaries. I have been using this extractor professionally for over 5 years
and have just recently decided to sell it after a careful redesign with
safety being the key motivating factor.
The Tamisium extraction process requires minimal pressure, and that pressure
is created by the butane solvent/solvents used. It is a cold extraction
process and mildly warm solvent recovery process at 110F maximum.
Although you can add heat and more pressure, in most, if not all cases, none
is required and none is preferred. Freezing and below freezing extractions
are possible as well.
Tamisium Extractors are a totally enclosed system made of high grade
Stainless Steel, machined to high tolerances, in a variety of sizes to suit
specific needs for low or high volume demands. Pressure ratings as high as
200 psi.
From table top units that will extract from 135 ml (1.2 ounces) of plant
material , all the way up to full scale commercial production set up with a
capacity to extract from 10 liters (6 pounds) of botanicals in just a matter
of a few hours.
No matter the size chosen, you will produce twice the extract in a fraction of the time, with less than 1/2 the effort, less than 1/2 the start up cost, and less than 1/2 the production expense as other more expensive extractions systems and methods. No more broken glass, heating mantles, expensive pumps and expensive chillers,
There is no need to pump solvents from one chamber to
another, The flow rate is automatic and adjustable.
There is no need to cool a condenser to produce volumes more solvent.
There is no need to create high pressures to reduce the volumes passed
through a botanical.
There is no need to heat during the extraction process.
There is no need for high pressure pumps, vacuum pumps or heating mantles.
There is no risk of damaging botanical extractions with heat and pressure
when using a Tamisium
This extractor will change the way extractions are performed by reducing startup cost and expanding your current inventory and improving the quality of your final product.
You will never want to use another Extractor or
Extraction Process
after you use a Tamisium Butane Extractor.

DISCLAIMER
Is a Tamisium Extractor
dangerous?
Any flammable solvent extractor is
potentially dangerous. No matter if it is acetone, alcohol used in a
soxhlet extractor with a heat source or butane in a cold tamisium
extractor or typical fuel pump at any gas station.. Laboratory safety
precautions are the same with this extractor as with most any others.
The key point to note is that the Tamisium Butane Extractors are a
totally closed system. The butane is never exposed to the air during the
normal extraction or the normal recovery process.
The apparatus is a closed system and as long as the system is closed,
you should not have any issues to deal with. Due to the fact that no
pumps or flames are needed to extract or recover the solvent you will
not have to deal with sparks or flames to ignite a solvent if an
accident should occur. These extractors are not sold to be used in homes
or non lab environments. They are sold to be used in laboratory settings
by laboratory professionals and professional chemist.
Do I need a permit to operate a laboratory or
Tamisium Extractor?
Is Butane safe to use for
consumable products?
Absolutely. Butane is non toxic and
evaporates completely. It has been used for over 100 years for exactly
that reason. You can use it to extract topical and internal medicine,
perfumes and oils. Especially oils. It is the holy grail of organic
solvents and really shines with aromatic fragrances and oils.
Is Butane harmful or toxic?
Butane is non toxic
and evaporates completely after extraction. It boils at 32 degrees F and
will rapidly disappear after being exposed to 80F room temperature.
What is the polarity of butane?
Butane (C4H10) has no polar groups.
Butane is NON POLAR all the way, which means you can use Butane as the
only solvent if the chemical you want to extract is non polar as well.
If not, then you will have to add another solvent to the butane before
extracting. In regards to Legal Medical Marijuana extractions, Butane
alone is all that is required.
Butane is composed only of carbon and hydrogen. It is nonpolar. It has
no net ionic charge.
Polar molecules can dissolve polar molecules and nonpolar molecules can
dissolve nonpolar molecules, but they don't mix well together and will
separate into two layers in a separatory funnel. The closer you can get
the polarity to match up, the more efficient the extraction process will
be and the lower volume of solvent that will be required. If you want to
separate them during the cleaning process, you will need the polarity to
be opposite.
How do you know which solvents to use
if butane is not enough?
Salvinorin A for example requires 100 ml of Acetone to dissolve
roughly 1.2 grams of Salvinorin A safely.
I personally use at least 2500 milliliters of acetone to extract up to 8
grams of salvinorin A from 2.5 kilos of salvia divinorum leaf material.
I may only be required to use 800 - 1000 ml but that is the saturation
point and I want to exceed that.
In addition, I have a 4 liter separatory funnel for cleaning the extract
on the next step. I would have to add more acetone for cleaning. So why
not add it in before extracting and make a completely saturated
extraction.
Solvent Chemical Polarity matching is something you will just have to figure out with each plant material you extract from or look in an index or reference source such as the merck index or type in polarity-name of chemical on the internet and find it there.
