Chill
FAST - Purpose built direct refrigeration for speed. Nothing compares to the Perma Cool BLAST series pulldown speed in the entire extraction industry. Fast, consistent, reliable, electric ethanol chilling without consumables makes you MORE MONEY.
No consumables = MORE MONEYExtract
Built to re-chill, re-run, the same ethanol always at temp. The BLAST series enables processors to achieve biomass-to-ethanol ratios up to 3:1. The result is a more saturated ethanol solution moving downstream, with the potential to recover up to 3x more crude for every gallon of ethanol evaporated.

For facilities planning around multiple centrifuges or expanded extraction capacity, Perma Cool can help scope a BLAST configuration matched to flow rate, utility profile, and uptime requirements.
- Configured around throughput goals
- Supports scaling beyond single-line production
- Built around real process constraints

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers buyers need before they request pricing.
What temperature range do Perma Cool ethanol chillers target?
Typical process targets include operation down to approximately -40 °C depending on system configuration and facility conditions.
Why choose direct refrigerant chilling over LN2?
Direct refrigerant systems can lower recurring consumable costs while delivering stable, repeatable process cooling for extraction lines.
How quickly can this be deployed?
Lead times vary by configuration; Perma Cool aligns scope early to reduce procurement friction and commissioning surprises.
