As the cannabis and the CBD industry grows, there is a new sector evolving, offering to outsource extraction. This is a very natural evolution, and the new cannabis extraction equipment engineering includes a range of new technologies, options, and features to provide quality extract.
Even with in-house extraction, the days of basic equipment are coming to an end. This has already happened in the medical marijuana industry, where cannabis extraction equipment engineering is required to ensure the consistent production of specific types of THC for use with patients and in a variety of different formulations.
While recreational cannabis is not at this point, it is foreseeable that the top producers will want to use the latest cannabis extraction equipment engineering. This will help keep their brands at the top of the growing list of brands and options consumers have in states where recreational cannabis is now legal.
New Extraction Methods
The traditional options of solventless extraction and supercritical CO2 extraction are still very popular, with ethanol and butane or hydrocarbon extraction also available. There is also an increase in the use of enzyme assisted extraction methods, which offers several benefits for both small and large scale production. New systems offer automated processing options, which precisely control the extraction, allowing for highly consistent end results.
The companies manufacturing this new equipment often provide a range of additional services, including assisting companies in developing processing systems. This requires the integration of new and existing equipment, which can be complicated and complex unless completed with a logical and strategic plan.
