Agrify's Extraction Division Launches New Hydrocarbon Extractor: The PX5

Agrify Corporation (NASDAQ:AGFY) has expanded its portfolio of processing solutions with its latest, most advanced and scalable passive hydrocarbon extractor: the PX5.

According to the company, PX5 can increase daily production by up to 33%, saves up to 40% annually in energy costs over comparable traditional systems and can increase hourly extract production by more than 200%.

“The PX5 represents more than a decade of collective experience, research and development in hydrocarbon extraction,” stated Chris Benyo, senior VP & general manager of Agrify’s extraction division.

“This versatile machine is the ultimate streamlined, and scalable cannabis extraction technology, which has been designed with the creation of high-value end products in mind. With the large number of facilities build-outs and expansions currently happening in this industry and the demand for high-quality cannabis products surging, the PX5 – which is the first in a series of hydrocarbon extractor launches that we plan to roll out this year – is perfect for customers looking to build faster, grow their business, gain a competitive edge and make groundbreaking products.”

The PX5’s features, specifications, and benefits include:
