CANAUOS, CBD extraction in Auvergne

CANAUOS, a major player in the CBD industry in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, has invested in a state-of-the-art supercritical CO2 extraction machine. This new machine is expected to transform the way aromatic and medicinal plants such as hemp are processed, notably by producing CBD extracts free of toxic substances and pollutants.

With demand for CBD-based products on the rise, CANAUOS has taken a step forward to ensure that its customers have access to the highest-quality products. The supercritical CO2 extraction method is a natural way to extract CBD from plants, as it uses liquid carbon dioxide to extract cannabinoids and other beneficial compounds from plant material.

Unlike other extraction methods, such as solvent extraction, supercritical CO2 extraction produces a pure and potent extract that is free of harmful chemicals and toxins, and full spectrum, obviously without adding any isolate, to enhance the entourage effect in the product. It also helps capture terpenes—the aromatic compounds found in plants—so you can enjoy all their benefits.

The new machine, which has been custom-calibrated to meet CANAUOS’s specific needs, will enable the company to produce CBD extracts of the highest quality. While it already provides high-quality products to its customers, it will now be able to ensure full traceability from seed to finished product. In addition, the machine is capable of extracting a wide range of aromatic and medicinal plants, which will allow CANAUOS to expand its product line to include other plant-based products in the future.

The CO2 extraction machine

«We are thrilled to invest in this cutting-edge technology, which will enable us to produce the highest-quality CBD extracts,» said Severine Malhière, founder of CANAUOS. «Our customers trust us to provide them with safe and effective products, and this investment reflects our commitment to delivering on that promise.»

The new machine will be certified under the GMP standard and will be able to produce products that meet pharmaceutical standards. It will also help CANAUOS achieve its sustainability goals. Supercritical CO2 extraction is an environmentally friendly method that produces little or no waste and does not require the use of harmful chemicals. This method aligns with CANAUOS’s commitment to manufacturing environmentally friendly and sustainable products and complements its organic, Ecocert-certified farming practices.

«We are committed to sustainability, and the new supercritical CO2 extraction machine is a testament to that commitment,» said the manager. «We are thrilled to be able to produce high-quality CBD products while remaining mindful of our impact on the environment.»

CANAUOS’s investment in the supercritical CO2 extraction machine is an important step not only for the company but also for the region, which will now be able to benefit from locally produced CBD extracts.
