The Gold Standard in Extraction Filtration

Understanding the AFS Color Remediation Cartridge

In the modern cannabis extraction landscape, Color Remediation Column (CRC) technology has become an essential tool for producers aiming to deliver ultra-clear, high-purity concentrates. However, traditional CRC methods often come with significant risks, including respiratory hazards and inconsistent product quality.

Absolute Filtration Systems (AFS) has solved these industry pain points with our patented CRC filter cartridges. Designed to integrate flawlessly with any modern extraction system, our cartridges represent the pinnacle of safety, convenience, and scientific precision. Here is why AFS stands above the rest as the industry leader.

1. Unmatched Safety: Eliminating Respirable Dust

The most significant danger in a traditional extraction lab is the handling of loose filtration media. Common materials like silicates, aluminas, and active clays produce fine, respirable dust that can lead to severe long-term health issues for technicians.

• The AFS Advantage: Our cartridges feature a fully encapsulated design. By sealing these media types within a self-contained unit, we protect your staff from inhaling harmful particulates and keep your facility and equipment pristine. You no longer have to worry about the "dusty lab" syndrome that compromises both health and air quality.

2. Superior Engineering: The PTFE Standard

AFS utilizes high-performance PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) housing. This ensures maximum chemical compatibility and durability during high-pressure extractions.

• Hermetic Precision: Each cartridge is built with 2.5um filter paper hermetically sealed into the base. After the media is packed, a top insert is pressed into the cartridge, sealing the media inside a vacuum-tight environment. This dual-seal architecture prevents any media "leakage" or "bypass," ensuring that only the purest oil leaves your column.

3. Medical-Grade Quality Control

At AFS, we treat your extracts with the same level of care as a pharmaceutical product. Our state-of-the-art packing facility follows a rigorous multi-step protocol:

• Sterilization: Every cartridge is hand-inspected and sterilized both before and after the packing process.
• Packing Consistency: Hand-packing a column often leads to "channeling," where the extract finds gaps in the media. Our measured in-house packing process ensure our filter cartridges maintain a uniform, consistnet, dense bed of media every single time.

4. Customization Through "Media Recipes"

Every harvest is unique, which is why AFS offers more than 10 proprietary in-house blends. We don't just provide a filter; we provide a solution tailored to your specific biomass.

5. Ultimate Efficiency: The Plug-and-Play Workflow

Time is money in a high-volume facility. The traditional process of cleaning, measuring, and re-packing a CRC column can take hours and creates significant downtime.

• The AFS Workflow: With our cartridges (available in 2.5”, 4”, and 6” sizes), loading and unloading is a breeze. When a run is finished, your technician simply removes the spent cartridge and drops in a fresh one. It turns a messy, hour-long chore into a 30-second swap, maximizing your daily throughput.

The Verdict: Why AFS is the Best

Absolute Filtration Systems has transformed CRC from a "black box" of loose powders and guesswork into a standardized, laboratory-grade process. By combining patented safety features, chemically inert PTFE housing, and customizable media recipes, we provide the consistency your brand needs to stay on top of the market.
