Enterprise Level
High-volume capacity for large commercial extraction facilities.
The BLAST 240/45 is built for facilities running multiple large centrifuges. Its nominal 6.0 GPM flash-chilling rate is supported by 100 kW of direct refrigeration and 100 kW of regeneration surface capacity. In-tank directional mixing, a 19-inch C1D2 HMI touchscreen, an upgraded PLC, and optional automation upgrades give operators high-volume process control.
Enterprise process-class capacity
The BLAST 240/45 is built for facilities that need the largest BLAST ethanol chilling capacity and a clearer path to higher production volume.
High-volume pull-down
Flash-chill 240 gallons of ethanol to −40 °C in 45 minutes so larger extraction teams can plan around a strong chilling target.
Facility-ready integration
Direct refrigerant architecture with HVAC condenser integration helps the system fit into commercial facilities with planned utilities and service access.
Production control visibility
PLC/HMI visibility, compressor protection logic, and operator feedback support repeatable operation at larger throughput levels.
System Overview
BLAST 240/45 performance, integration, and workflow fit.
Scan the system by what matters at scale: capacity, pull-down speed, utility fit, and production control.
Performance Profile
240 gallons to −40 °C in 45 minutes.
The BLAST 240/45 is the large process-class option in the BLAST lineup, designed for teams that need more ethanol capacity and stronger schedule support.
System Architecture
Direct refrigerant chilling with regeneration recovery.
Regeneration adds heat-transfer surface that lets returning ethanol exchange energy with the colder side of the loop before final pull-down. The system reclaims useful cold from the process stream, lowers the load the refrigeration circuit has to absorb, and helps the 240-gallon tank recover faster between extraction cycles.
Workflow Fit
More chilled ethanol for higher-volume production.
With 240 gallons of cold ethanol capacity, the BLAST 240/45 can fully support extraction workflows built around two 70-gallon centrifuges, with reserve volume left for re-chilling, staging, and repeat cycles. Larger facilities can plan around two centrifuges or more without making the chiller the bottleneck.
Operating Model
Scale without leaning on consumables.
For larger labs, reducing LN2 and dry ice dependency can simplify purchasing, receiving, safety planning, and production scheduling.
Extraction Workflow
Built for higher-volume chill, extract, recover, and repeat cycles.
Chill
Bring 240 gallons of ethanol down to extraction-ready low temperature with a defined 45-minute performance target.
Feed production
Support larger extraction schedules with a deeper reserve of cold ethanol and a stronger pull-down profile.
Recover and repeat
Return ethanol to the system, recover temperature, and keep the extraction workflow moving with less consumable drag.

Application Fit
The high-capacity option for large extraction operators.
The BLAST 240/45 is the right direction when the process needs more ethanol capacity, more chilling duty, and a stronger path away from consumable-heavy cooling. It is built for teams planning around higher throughput and more repeatable production schedules.
- Commercial extraction facilities planning around higher ethanol volume.
- Teams that need more process capacity than the BLAST 150/45.
- Facilities replacing consumable-heavy cooling with electric process chilling.
- Operators who want larger-scale chilling without giving up process visibility and control.
