As a professional manufacturer of plant extraction, concentration, and drying production line equipment, we provide efficient, stable, and compliant industrial turnkey solutions for the production of astaxanthin, particularly sourced from Haematococcus pluvialis. Senbofluid This production line adopts industry-leading supercritical CO₂ extraction technology as its core, combined with precise pre- and post-processing techniques, ensuring high extraction efficiency, optimal preservation of astaxanthin's biological activity, and superior product quality.
Taking Haematococcus pluvialis algal powder as an example, it is currently the most mainstream and highest-content source of natural astaxanthin.
Astaxanthin Content: Typically required to be ≥2.5% (dry basis). Higher is better, as it directly affects yield and cost.
Moisture: ≤10%. Excessive moisture severely impacts the efficiency of supercritical CO₂ extraction, increases energy consumption, and may cause equipment icing or clogging.
Cell Wall Disruption Rate: ≥95%. This is the most critical pre-treatment indicator. Astaxanthin cannot be effectively released from unruptured cells. Clients may provide pre-disrupted algal powder, or we can handle the disruption process.
Solvent Residue/Heavy Metals/Microbiological Indicators: Must comply with the food or dietary supplement ingredient standards of the target market (e.g., U.S. FDA, EU, China).

3.Cooling sedimentation tank:
It is applied to the freeze-precipitation of herbal & plant, oral liquid, food health products, etc, freezing or normal temperature precipitation of suspension, solid- liquid phase separation, and separation of wax and lipid substances.
4.Molecular (wiped film) distillation:
Is the best thermal separation machine for heat-sensitive material because it is the gentlest type, causing the least amount of thermal degradation of product. It is a process of separation, purification and concentration of natural products, complex and thermally sensitive molecules. Senbo molecular distillation units are wildly used for purification of oils, such as cannabis/hemp oil, garlic oil, cod liver oil in chemical and pharmaceutical industries. The whole molecular distillation system includes supporting chillers, heaters, vacuum pumps and all accessories.
The materials are transported from the feed tank to the jacketed main evaporator. The main evaporator is continuously heated. The built-in scraper evenly scrapes the materials into a layer of flowing liquid film for instant evaporation. The light component materials begin to vaporize and adsorb on the built-in condensing coil, flow into the receiving bottle along the outer wall of the condensing pipe, and the heavy component materials flow into the receiving bottle along the inner wall of the main evaporator.
5.Solvent rectification column:
The rectification column is a tower gas-liquid contact device for rectification.
