The Faster Way to Run Carbon Chemistry® Media in Your Extraction Rig

For high-throughput extraction labs, consistency is everything. If your shop is dedicated to turning out clean, premium concentrates, you already know the value of running elite, trusted media. Brands like Carbon Chemistry® set the industry standard for a reason—their adsorbents deliver the precise color remediation and contaminant stripping required to hit top-shelf clarity.

But even the best media can become a operational bottleneck when your technicians are stuck hand-packing loose powders into a column before every single run.

Between dealing with airborne dust, fighting the constant threat of media channeling, and worrying about microscopic fines migrating into your final collection vessel, hand-packing is a high-risk, labor-heavy chore.

There is a cleaner, faster way to operate. By pairing industry-trusted media with AFS Pre-Packed Disposable Cartridges, you can instantly eliminate the mess and maintain maximum throughput without changing your proven remediation recipes.

Zero Prep, Zero Mess: The Carbon Chemistry® Collaboration

You don’t have to compromise on your media preferences to get the speed of a disposable system. The AFS / Carbon Chemistry® Collaboration brings the exact granular formulations you trust directly into a pre-sealed, ready-to-use format.

Take Zeoclear™ L, for example. As a thermally activated, calcined granular attapulgite clay, it features a massive porous surface area and a balanced, neutral pH of 6.7. It is highly effective at adsorbing aggressive color bodies, carotenoids, and polar contaminants while maintaining an excellent, rapid fluid flow rate.

When you purchase Zeoclear™ L pre-packed into an AFS cartridge, you bypass the scoop-and-tamp routine entirely. It arrives perfectly pressurized and factory-sealed, preventing the media from shifting, cracking, or developing the bypass channels that ruin a run.

Engineered to Fit the Rigs You Already Run

Upgrading your filtration workflow shouldn't require rebuilding your entire extraction skid. AFS cartridges are engineered around standard stainless steel dimensions, integrating seamlessly into your existing closed-loop system hardware.

Whether you are running a boutique craft setup or a massive commercial extraction loop, there is a drop-in cartridge sized exactly for your standard sanitary spools:

• 2.5-Inch Tri-Clamp Cartridges: Perfect for smaller inline polishing steps or low-volume craft runs where space is tight but clarity is critical.

• 4-Inch Tri-Clamp Cartridges: The true workhorse size for mid-tier commercial setups, providing the ideal ratio of surface area to media volume.

• 6-Inch Tri-Clamp Cartridges: Built for heavy, high-throughput extraction loops that demand rapid solvent flow and high pigment-loading capacity.

Because these modules are designed around universally accepted tri-clamp dimensions, they drop straight into standard inline filter housings. You simply clamp them in, run your cold hydrocarbon solvent mix, and unclamp them when finished.

Advanced Particulate Containment

The single biggest risk of hand-packing loose media is media migration—when fine dust bypasses your bottom screen and contaminates your collection base.

AFS cartridges eliminate this risk entirely with a patent-pending design that builds the filtration stack right into the housing. Every cartridge features an integrated 2.5-micron paper filter that is mechanically molded and sealed directly into the cup structure.

This absolute perimeter seal ensures that 100% of your solvent must pass through the filtration media and the paper barrier. No loose powders can slip past the edges, giving you complete peace of mind that your final shatter, wax, or live resin is entirely free of particulate fines.

Upgrade to a Turnkey Extraction Workflow

Stop spending valuable lab hours acting as a powder-mixing plant. By switching to pre-packed granular cartridges, you cut down on operator error, minimize toxic airborne dust exposure in the lab, and completely eliminate the time spent scraping out clogged stainless screens.

Keep the media performance you love. Lose the bottleneck.
