Why Now Is the Time to Upgrade Your Extraction System

As the cannabis industry prepares for rescheduling and the next wave of regulatory and market evolution, extraction labs are at a pivotal crossroads: double down on outdated infrastructure or invest in smarter, more scalable systems that reduce costs and eliminate failure-prone components like chillers and heaters.

At Illuminated Extractors, we believe the answer is clear: now is the time to scale up, not later.

The Cost of Running in Place

Many labs are still operating on legacy equipment, relying on external chillers and heaters known for:

• Short life spans (3–5 years)
• Frequent maintenance and costly downtime
• Major energy consumption
• No real way of scaling (more columns means more chillers)

These fail points don’t just create headaches. They raise your operating costs and limit your ability to grow and pivot with market demand without major changes in your lab’s infrastructure. ProJak addresses it all.

One Compressor. Zero Hassle.

That’s why we built systems like the Behemoth, engineered to eliminate these vulnerabilities entirely.

Instead of relying on inefficient chillers and heaters, our ProJak™ DX Refrigeration System uses an industrial-grade compressor adapted from the oil and gas industry to achieve:

• -60° C achieved in a matter of minutes
• Incredibly low energy draw (as much as 40% lower than standard systems)
• Long-term reliability with maintainable parts (not disposable ones)

This is what scaling should look like: less equipment, fewer risks, more output.

Scale Without the Squeeze

Upgrading your extraction line shouldn’t mean taking on more overhead or complexity. The Behemoth is designed for high-volume labs that need:

• Maximize Efficiency: Process more material with fewer ancillary requirements.
• Innovative Solvent Cycling: Eliminate recovery and reinjection steps for streamlined operation.
• Minimized Downtime: Engineered for continuous production to keep you moving.
• Fast ROI: See clear returns on your investment—quickly scale like never before.

Pound-for-pound, it’s the most efficient machine not only in our lineup but in the industry at large. For operations moving into a post-rescheduling market, it’s the ideal platform to dominate a region.
