BLAST 150/45 Breakdown
Standard 150-gallon production chilling.
The 150/45 gives extraction labs 150 gallons of cold ethanol capacity, a predictable 45-minute pull-down target, and a production refrigeration platform for commercial daily use.
Standard 150-gallon pre-chiller
The BLAST 150/45 is PermaCool's standard 150-gallon ethanol pre-chiller for commercial labs that need real production capacity without jumping into the largest tank class.
The model name is the target
The name is literal: 150 gallons of ethanol chilled from room temperature toward -40°C in 45 minutes, or about 3.33 gallons per minute of chilling performance.
The mid-size workhorse
If the 60/45 is the entry production system, the 150/45 is the standard mid-size workhorse for commercial extraction teams.
What It's Built For
Repeat ethanol extraction cycles where recovery and consistency matter.
Instead of waiting on consumables or improvised freezer workflows, the BLAST 150/45 gives the lab a dedicated electric chilling platform built around repeatable ethanol processing.
Mid-scale production capacity
The BLAST 150/45 is built for labs moving beyond small-batch chilling but not yet ready for the larger 240-gallon class.
Predictable pull-down scheduling
A 45-minute pull-down window gives operators a chilling target they can build daily extraction schedules around.
Built for repeat-cycle extraction
The system supports the extract, return, re-chill, and repeat rhythm of ethanol processing with less waiting on slow recovery.
Controls and component protection
PermaCool controls give operators process visibility, while compressor self-protection and control logic help protect major refrigeration components.
System Overview
BLAST 150/45 performance, refrigeration architecture, and workflow fit.
Scan the system by what matters in production: pull-down speed, repeatability, controls, and facility fit.
Performance Profile
150 gallons to -40C in 45 minutes.
The BLAST 150/45 sits in the middle of the BLAST lineup: more capacity than the compact 60/45, with a production footprint designed for growing extraction schedules.
System Architecture
Single piston compressor/condenser platform.
The BLAST 150/45 uses a hardier low-temperature refrigeration setup for production use, with direct refrigerant chilling and HVAC condenser integration.
Workflow Fit
A better fit for repeat-cycle extraction.
Fast re-chill performance supports extract, return, re-chill, and repeat workflows where each gallon of ethanol needs to carry more value.
Operating Model
Less consumable drag, more process control.
Replacing consumable-heavy chilling with electric process equipment helps operators reduce supply-chain friction and improve production confidence.
Extraction Workflow
Built for the extract, re-chill, and repeat operating rhythm.
Chill
Bring 150 gallons of ethanol down to extraction-ready low temperature with a defined 45-minute performance target.
Extract
Use cold ethanol in the extraction process while protecting product quality and operating consistency.
Re-chill
Return the ethanol to the chiller, recover temperature, and prepare it for the next pass through fresh biomass.
Protect
Compressor self-protection and PermaCool control logic help the refrigeration platform handle changing extraction-room conditions.
Highlights
Spec points buyers can scan fast.
- 150-gallon ethanol capacity
- Room temperature toward -40°C in 45 minutes
- About 3.33 gallons per minute of chilling performance
- Built for repeat-cycle extraction workflows
- Designed to reduce dependence on LN2 and dry ice
- Middle option between the BLAST 60/45 and 240-gallon class
Refrigeration Architecture
A hardier platform for commercial extraction work.
The BLAST 150/45 is built for direct refrigerant chilling, which means the equipment is focused on moving heat out of the ethanol process efficiently instead of relying on consumable cryogenic media.
- Single piston compressor/condenser platform for hardier low-temperature production use.
- Direct refrigerant chilling focused on moving heat out of the ethanol process efficiently.
- Comfortably supports around 100 feet of copper run each way when facility layout requires separation between process equipment and condenser placement.
Best Customer Fit
The right starting point for a true 150-gallon platform.
- Customers who want a true 150-gallon ethanol chilling platform.
- Teams that need more capacity than the BLAST 60/45 but are not ready for the 240-gallon class.
- Operators who want a standard production unit instead of the faster 150/25 model.
- Labs moving away from LN2, dry ice, or freezer-based chilling.
- Facilities that need repeatable re-chill performance for daily extraction scheduling.
