Eden Labs

Eden Labs designs and builds botanical extraction and distillation equipment and lists an office at 3815 South Othello Street in Seattle. The company says it was founded in 1994 by Fritz Chess, who was then working in Ohio, and it presents itself as an extraction research shop as much as an equipment maker. It does not describe its ownership. The site markets to botanical producers broadly, from hops and kava to essential oils, while its testimonials come from cannabis processors, including a Washington State toll processor, and its Solvent Pro rotary evaporator package is sold for high-volume hemp and cannabis work.

On the CO2 side, the Hi-Flo FX2 comes in single and dual 20-liter configurations at 2,000 or 5,000 psi; Eden rates the series at up to 107 pounds of biomass a day and says each extractor ships with standard operating procedures and a three-year warranty. Custom Industrial CO2 platforms scale to three 2,000-liter vessels at 5,000 psi, which Eden says can process more than 8 tons of biomass a day, with about 14 months from design to start-up. The Coldfinger family covers ethanol work from a benchtop unit to an industrial, cryo-capable skid rated at 80 pounds per hour and integrated with a 500-gallon solvent recovery system.

Eden also quotes partner equipment for a complete lab: shredders, low-temperature freezers with an explosion-proof option, a 4-inch wiped-film distillation unit, rotary evaporators, vacuum ovens, and 45- and 475-liter ethanol centrifuges. Its lab services group offers proof-of-concept runs, toll processing for operators waiting on their own equipment, and product development. Eden says its systems are designed to US FDA good manufacturing practice standards. It does not publish pricing; buyers submit a sales inquiry.
