Welcome to the roaring 20's! We don't have flying cars which is something of a disappointment but not to worry, here at Apeks we have lots of new technology in the works! Here's a quick recap:
ReFraction™ ReFraction™ is our artificial intelligent "eyes inside the system". We spent much of 2019 researching and developing this technology and are proud to say the results are better than expected! Apeks introduced the first truly smart technology in CO2 extraction that leverages artificial intelligence to give operators unprecedented insight into what’s really happening inside the system to increase efficiency and customize yield.
Watch the video below to give you an idea of how this technology works! Bookmark our web page - it will be updated as we get new data and please let us know if you'd like to pre-order!

Co-Solvent Technology Not only will ReFraction™ help with your extraction, we also introduced a co-solvent module upgrade late last year! Turbo charge any of our Apeks systems to increase the power of CO2 extraction. This goes on sale in March, so keep yourself updated by bookmarking our web page or let us know if you'd like to pre-order!

In December we hosted an open house at our new facility. The response was overwhelming and we had over 150 people attend! We also had a silent auction to raise money for a local dog rescue, and raised more than $400 selling off random bits of Apeks history! Couldn't make it on the day but still want a tour? Let us know!

Our mechanical assembly department takes the frame from the welders and puts all the gauges, valves and tubing on. They test to be sure everything works before it's handed over to the automation guys. The team consists of
Doug Chadwick, Eric Annarino, and John Eblin, and they play decent music in their corner of the factory!
