Cannabis extraction chillers

The packaged cannabis extraction chillers in our XL Chiller line use process cooling to remove heat from the cannabinoid extraction process. Whether you’re extracting THC, CBN, or CBD, we provide precise temperature control to ensure that the liquids gently cycling through the plant remain at subzero temperatures to prevent denaturing or other damage.

Designed for cannabinoid extraction
Delivers industrial-grade process cooling
Maintains extra-low fluid temperatures from -20°F to -40°F
Delivers precise temperature control
Help prevent denaturing and other damage

Remote condenser Systems

If your cannabis operation requires the condenser and compressor in different areas, our remote condenser systems can make the process easy.

Tank & pump packages

Our cannabis chiller tank and pump packages range from 30 – 30,000 gallons in either polyethylene or stainless-steel tanks, giving you the freedom to customize your tank and pump to your needs.

Hemp plant cultivation chillers

The plant cultivation cannabis chillers in our Comfort Cooling line deliver industrial-grade performance to keep your greenhouse cool and help your plants grow. With the refrigerant contained inside the chiller housing, our plant cultivation cannabis chillers remove the refrigerant hassle in traditional comfort cooling units. We design our units to plumb environmentally safe fluids throughout the system, even over long distances. They deliver the same cooling capabilities as air handlers and fan coils in a packaged engineered solution in custom sizes and dimensions and select options, such as low ambient protection and redundancy options.

Product Features

Signature features of our cannabis chillers

When you’re looking for a reliable and high performing cannabis chiller, trust our 50+ years of experience to deliver the quality and value you expect. We know what it takes to keep your compound extraction processes and greenhouse environment cool with advanced chiller features, such as:

Year-round performance

Unlike some off-the-shelf cooling systems that only operate optimally during the summer months, our cannabis chillers are designed for all-season operation, including winter months when the weather is colder. Year-round operation can help maximize the output and performance of your cannabis operation.

99.4% Uptime

When you invest in a cannabis chiller, you expect it to operate well every time. With an exceptional 99.4% uptime rate, our chillers can help you keep your equipment running.

Low fluid temperatures

Our XL Chiller line of cannabis chillers is designed for extra-low fluid temperatures required for maximum cannabinoid extraction. Expect our systems to handle fluid temperatures as low as -20°F to -40°F.

Tight temperature control

When using a tank, our cannabis chillers feature tight temperature control of +/-1°F to prevent denaturing- and other damage-causing fluid temperature dips.

Cannabis chiller compressors

Our packaged cannabis chillers use two types of high efficiency, low-temperature compressors: scroll and two-stage economized semi-hermetic. Both are available with an oil management system to boost reliability in extra-low temperatures.

Scroll compressors

Available with air- or water-cooled compressors, our packaged scroll cannabis chillers range in smaller capacity. With a set of interlocking scrolls to pressurize the refrigerant inside the compressor, our scroll cannabis chillers are ideal for small or single equipment cooling needs. They also provide excellent performance for sporadic process applications that run less than 24 hours per day.

Ideal for small or single equipment cooling needs
Excellent for some sporadic operations

Semi-hermetic compressors

For high volume cannabis chiller applications, look to our air- or water-cooled two-stage economized semi-hermetic compressors. Available with two-stage economized compressors, these cannabis chillers come with many customization options to meet your operation’s needs.
