Solventless trichome separation for bubble hash production
Achieve high-quality, solventless extracts with superior trichome separation, ensuring clean, terpene-rich bubble hash without unwanted plant particulates, enhancing your processing capabilities efficiently.
Separates Trichomes for Solventless Hash Production
The Vortex Trichome Separator VTS-50 from Delta Separations is a specialized solventless separation system designed for cannabis and hemp processors. Utilizing cold-water mechanical separation, this machine efficiently extracts cannabinoid and terpene-rich trichomes from plant biomass, producing high-quality, solvent-free concentrates like ice water and bubble hash. The VTS-50 features a 50-gallon capacity jacketed vessel with bi-directional agitation, and its crossflow vortex agitation minimizes plant-particulate contamination while maximizing trichome separation. Capable of producing 13-15 kilos of dry hash daily, it can operate manually or through programmable auto operations, and supports precise vortex speed control for gentle processing. Constructed with sanitary food-grade stainless steel and a viewing window, the VTS-50 ensures easy cleaning and maintenance, and integrates seamlessly into solventless extraction workflows. Equipped with UL-certified wash-down electronics, it offers reliable operation while complying with safety standards. Additionally, the system’s design facilitates energy efficiency by reducing ice usage when connected to a glycol chiller, enhancing its operational sustainability.
