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.

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.
