InnoXtract (MU), an industrial extractors for Cosmetics, Pharma and Fragrance
InnoXtract offers industrial extractors designed to efficiently recover bioactive compounds from plants, roots, citrus and flowers, meeting the specific extraction requirements of cosmetics, pharma and fragrance manufacturers.
Based on Microwave-Assisted Extraction (MAE), electromagnetic energy penetrates the plant matrix and releases active molecules faster and more efficiently than conventional extraction systems. The combinaison of microwave and ultrasound enhances compound recovery, efficiency and the spectrum of bioactive molecules.
Two extraction systems are available:
InnoXtract Flex for continuous production
InnoXtract Batch for R&D and industrial production
Standard and customized solutions are available.

Discover InnoXtract, our globally unmatched extractors
An industrial extractor for cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and fragrance, featuring MAE and ultrasound
Our equipment combining microwave assisted extraction and ultrasounds provides fast, high-yield extractions across a wide range of plant-based applications such as cosmetics, pharma and fragrance!
InnoXtract Batch
Extractor combining MEA and ultrasound
The InnoXtract Batch is dedicated to the extraction of complex botanical matrices: plants, tree leaves, citrus and bark. Our combined extractor allows access to novel compounds. It integrates a compact and flexible reactor designed for process validation and industrial production. InnoXtract Batch operates with microwave technology alone or in combination with ultrasound. Our extraction system offers process flexibility to explore new extraction parameters.
Our two reference extraction systems, integrating Microwaves and Ultra-sounds, are:
- InnoXtract Batch 20 : from 3.5 l to 20l, 3 kW or 6 kW
- InnoXtract Batch 120 : from 20 l to 120 l / 6 kW or 10 kW
Other configurations are available on request.
Key features
- Microwave power : from 3 kW
- Ultrasound power at 20 kHz
- Useful volume : from 3.5 l
- Jacketed stainless-steel reactor with variable speed mechanical stirring
- Nitrogen inerting, easy filling and emptying
- Optimized for easy cleaning
The jacketed reactor enables precise temperature control of the extraction bath, preserving the quality and integrity of sensitive extracts. Microwave and ultrasound generators have no direct contact with the product.
InnoXtract Flex
Industrial continuous food extractor
Designed for high-capacity production, our continuous extraction system, InnoXtract Flex, is based on microwave technology.
Thanks to this Microwave-Assisted Extraction (MAE), this extractor enables fast, high-yield extraction of bioactive compounds from a wide range of products as plants, herbs and flowers…
Extraction time is dramatically reduced, from several hours down to less than 5 minutes depending on the raw material.
Two configurations are available :
- Screw conveyor design for continuous flow processing
- Multi-cavity design for optimized microwave distribution
Key features
- Microwave power at 2.45 GHz : 12 kW to 72 kW
- For high-density products or specific raw materials (915 MHz) : up to 300 kW
- Tunnel length : 3 m to 8 m
- In some configurations, ultrasounds can be integrated
MAE and ultrasound Extraction for cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and fragrance
Our extraction system opens new possibilities for cosmetics and looking to improve their extraction processes:
- Achieve higher yields while reducing processing time, from several hours to just minutes
- Access a wider range of bioactive compounds unavailable through conventional methods
- Produce cleaner, solvent-free or low-solvent extracts
- Preserve the organoleptic and physicochemical properties of sensitive aroma compounds
Everything you need to know about InnoXtract, an industrial extractor for cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and fragrances
Answers to key questions about system and SAIREM benefits.
Conventional extraction methods for plants, flowers, roots and citrus rely on long contact times between the solvent and the raw material, often requiring several hours to achieve satisfactory yields. In contrast, InnoXtract uses Microwave-Assisted Extraction (MAE) to heat the plant matrix directly, rapidly disrupting cell walls and releasing bioactive compounds far more efficiently.
The result is significantly shorter extraction times, higher yields, better preservation of heat-sensitive molecules and lower solvent consumption. These advantages make InnoXtract an innovative and highly efficient solution for manufacturers in the cosmetics, pharmaceutical and fragrance industries.
Sairem’s microwave-assisted extraction technology reduces processing time by at least three times compared with conventional extraction methods. In many applications, processes that traditionally require several hours can be completed in less than five minutes, dramatically increasing productivity while reducing overall energy consumption.
Combining microwave and ultrasound technologies within a single reactor provides significant advantages over using separate systems.
Microwave energy rapidly heats the plant matrix and releases target compounds, while ultrasound enhances mass transfer and improves access to a broader spectrum of bioactive molecules. Operating both technologies in the same reactor eliminates intermediate transfer steps, reducing processing time and minimizing contamination risks.
The system can operate with microwaves only, ultrasound only, or both technologies simultaneously, allowing the extraction process to be optimized for each raw material and target compound.
Compared with conventional extraction equipment, InnoXtract requires lower installation costs. As a fully electric system operating with a closed-loop water circuit, it reduces infrastructure requirements while minimizing operating expenses.
Combined with shorter processing times, lower solvent consumption and limited maintenance needs, the system delivers a faster return on investment than conventional extraction technologies.
