Cannabinoids
Tell us about your production challenge
Cannabinoids are natural compounds obtained from the Cannabis sativa plant. Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol or THC is a psychotropic substance. Cannabidiol, or CBD, is non-psychotropic and often used for nutraceutical purposes. Cannabinoid equipment extracts THC and CBD from the plant and prepares the substance for formulations that treat pain, nausea, anxiety, and inflammations. Cannabinoids are processed in various forms, including creams, capsules, and oils.

Go for cannabinoid equipment that delivers gentle extraction

The Cannabis sativa goes through a complex process after harvest. Specialized cannabinoid equipment chops the plant in preparation for gentle drying. Solvent extraction techniques using ethanol or supercritical fluids produce crude cannabis oil. But this requires further purification.

Distill the substance to separate THC from terpenes, lipids, impurities, and solvent residues. Finally, treat the cannabis isolate with a homogenizing system to break down the bonds and reduce the size of CBD particles.

Apply cold ethanol extraction to shorten the process stages

One method of CBD solvent extraction uses ethanol at a temperature of -40° C. In contrast to other techniques, this does not need a pressurized system. Feed the cold ethanol directly into the extraction equipment with the cannabis biomass.

The solvent forces the volatile compounds out of the plant, leaving behind the lipids. By removing the need for winterization, solvent recovery, and decarbing, cold ethanol extraction minimizes the cannabinoid equipment line and the process.

Decrease the THC content according to market requirements

THC levels of distilled oils must be decreased to meet the thresholds defined by regulatory bodies. For instance, most EU countries impose a THC content limit of 0.2% in CBD products, including edibles such as CBD gummies.

Purified CBD extracts must be filled using sterile systems and deposited in sealed formats, whether capped jars or pouches. Another essential equipment category in cannabinoid production is labeling machines with serialization functions.

Remove starch from CBD gummies

Starch can lead to bacterial growth, and many jurisdictions restrict its use for molding. But starchless depositing equipment for CBD gummies has more advantages than contamination-free products.

The gum syrup takes much less to dry in the molding trays than by moisture absorption from starch. Moreover, starchless depositing produces high-definition shapes and a better yield from demolding.

Formulate CBD oil products with other ingredients

CBD oil for medical treatment is dispensed in dosage forms such as ampoules, syringes, and capsules. Filling medicinal dosage utensils requires cannabinoid equipment to meet GMP standards made from materials like 316L grade stainless steel or PTFE.

CBD oil formulations are typically mixed with other ingredients like olive oil and terpenes. End products base the extract ratio on the target medicinal potency of cannabinoids per dose determined by pharmaceutical requirements.
