Cannabinoids Extracting Equipment

Cannabis seeds

Gummies make everything more colorful. The squishy droplets make a tasty and practical carrier of special ingredients such as CBD oil. Chewing the gum increases the bioavailability of the substance as opposed to vaping. But before the cannabidiol can take effect, it must first be processed through a line of CBD gummy equipment.

CBD gummies

While still forbidden in many countries, there's plenty of room for the use of cannabidiol, or CBD. It’s the second most present active ingredient of the cannabis plant and, no, it won’t get anybody high. What it does, really, once it’s out of the CBD oil processing equipment, is to provide many well-being and health benefits. They go from treating depression and anxiety to relieving pain and unmanageable diseases' symptoms.

Softgel capsules fast-track the delivery of medication to the bloodstream. Unlike solid pills, they do not need to be broken down by the body before the drugs can be absorbed. Moreover, they are optimal vehicles for oils and fat-soluble formulations that cannot be compressed into tablets.

Softgel capsules

The cannabis industry is one of the fastest growing in the world with a revenue of $20.47 billion in 2020 which is expected to soar up to $197.74 billion in 2028. The famous cannabis substance that causes marijuana's psychological effects is THC and it was first isolated in 1964. There are two methods of extracting THC from cannabis: solvent-based and non-solvent extraction. Each technique requires different THC oil extraction equipment.

Koala bears diet exclusively on eucalyptus leaves. But the large concentration of cineole in the tree keeps most other predators at bay. Humans, though, discovered ways to extract the substance and use it as a remedy against inflammations and other diseases. The eucalyptus oil production process keeps evolving to maximize yields, ensuring enough eucalyptus forests for koalas.

Originally created to supply US soldiers with vitamin C in World War II, fruit concentrate has found many other uses. Whether you want to drink soda or eat gummy bears, you need fruit concentrate for the color and flavor. The fruit concentrate processing line involves fruit peelers, conveyor belts, filters, and evaporators that help producers make fruit concentrate with all of the fruit’s original aroma.

Fruit concentrate

Only one percent of the entire plant species on the planet produces essential oils, but that amount has found its way into various products, from perfumes to foods. Flower extraction systems are similarly diverse, and picking the right ones depends on the organic material and the final product.

Flower extract

The rapeseed flower evolved high concentrations of substances that are anti-nutritive at best and toxic at worst. But new varieties developed in the 1970s lowered the content of glucosinolates and erucic acids. From then, the use of oilseed rape spread to several applications, from edible oil to biofuel to animal feed. Rapeseed oil processing technology has thus become foundational to industries spanning food production, energy, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.

In the feed sector, it's common to talk about feed as balanced, compound, or concentrate. Many people use one of these terms to refer to any feed mill product. However, the processing of feed concentrates, only requires grinding and mixing. The further transformation into pellets adds is an added value for the market.

Feed concentrates

The humble chamomile flower holds a rich blend of compounds that soothe body and mind. A natural antidepressant and anti-inflammatory, chamomile oil found its way into the earliest pharmacopeia. As more of its properties were discovered, the oil became an elemental ingredient for a vast range of pharmaceutical and cosmetic recipes. Chamomile oil processing equipment developed at the same speed, offering manufacturers multiple production techniques to extract the liquid from the precious flower.

Fish oil was a folk remedy long before scientists identified the nutritional value of essential fatty acids. But Omega 3 processing has come a long way since the days of raw fish parts fermenting in a barrel. In fact, new supplement formulations of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) may not use fish at all.

Omega 3 oil

The ancient Greeks believed feeding sea buckthorn to their horses would give them a lustrous hide. Indeed, full of lipids and carotenoids, the fruit did contribute to glowing, reddish coats. However, the thorny plant also has benefits for humans. Sea buckthorn processing equipment extracts this unique vegetable oil full of fatty acids. The liquid is a prominent component in various food, cosmetic, and pharmacological preparations.

Sea buckthorn oil

Do you know that the famous classical music composer and pianist Ludwig van Beethoven insisted on drinking a cup of coffee made from exactly 60 pieces of coffee beans? Currently, around 50% of the world’s green coffee beans undergo processing through instant coffee manufacturing equipment to produce instant coffee. The process requires roasting, grinding, brewing, and heating to obtain the extract; the coffee extract will either go through a spray drying process or a freeze-drying process.

Instant coffee

Chinese legend has it that tea was created by accident over 2700 years BC. A servant boiled drinking water for his emperor when leaves from the Camellia sinensis tree fell into it – and the emperor decided to taste the drink. While to make tea nowadays on a medium to large-scale you need tea processing equipment like dryers instead of just a tree and wind blowing it, mythology adds a special flavor to the tea industry story.

A beverage is any kind of liquid or drink, usually other than water, made for human consumption. Beverages are further classified into two categories: alcoholic beverages and non-alcoholic beverages. Alcoholic beverages refer to liquids that contain 1% to 75% of liquor and are produced by fermentation such as wine, beer, or distillation such as vodka, rum, tequila. Non-alcoholic beverages are drinks that don’t have any liquor such as tea, coffee, fruit juices, soft drinks, and carbonated beverages. They can be produced premix or postmix, depending on the setup of your production line.

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.

Cannabinoids

Due to their potential hazardous nature, chemicals are classified for proper identification and safety during production. Chemical classification depends on their properties, structures and functions. In the chemical industry, you can regard them as basic chemicals such as acids, chemical products to produce plastic materials and finished chemicals for use in cosmetology. As a manufacturer or engineer, you want to know their reactivity when using chemical processing equipment.

With over one-third of the population consuming it daily in different forms, coffee is one of the most popular processed beverages worldwide. Not only serving as drinks, but coffee is also often regarded as a culture. Coffee manufacturing is a knowledge-intensive industry. Coffee beans from different regions will reveal different tastes, while the level of caffeine could also be different. When it comes to coffee bean processing, the range of roasts varies from light golden brown all the way to dark. The method of tasting coffee differs between countries, habits, and tools.

Our food chain starts in the soil, growing crops and livestock. But between the fields and the stores, there is a line of industrial food processing equipment. Processes may be as minimalistic as cleaning fruit and as complex as homogenizing milk alternatives made from pressed legumes. In each case, processing technology is an important link in the food production chain.

Fruit pulp is a mass of pressed fresh fruit not meant for immediate consumption. Production of fruit pulp avoids wasting food and preserves the flavors and nutrient value of the fruit product. Processed fruit pulp is an ingredient in beverages, sauces, baby foods, jellies, smoothies, and bakery products.

Tradition and manufacturing procedures dictate the distinction between fruit juice, puree, and pulp. Still, naming and labeling are complex and depend on regulations, type of fruit, texture, consistency, preservation methods, and sugar or solid content (measured in Degrees Brix). Depending on your desired output, there are various fruit pulper machines for different stages of production that make the process quicker and more efficient.

Fruit pulp

Eating is more than just nutrition, but we have found ways to increase the nourishing power of our foods. Nutraceuticals manufacturing, from vitamin C powder and probiotics to omega 3 oil, is a concentration of natural ingredients and health supplements that complement our diets. While dietary supplements are not quite haute cuisine, the process of extraction and purification is no less a blend of science and art.

Nutraceuticals

Pharmaceutical developments walk side by side with health advances to provide new medicines, treatments, and therapies that have increased life quality and extended life expectancy by years. Pharmaceutical manufacturing equipment helps deliver products to a great deal of the population, but there’s a significant share that doesn’t benefit from them yet. Over 2 billion people cannot get the medicines they need, according to the United Nations Industrial Development Organization, and local production might be a way to provide for these people.

Pharmaceuticals

Ancient civilizations discovered that plant extracts were useful for the treatment of pathologies. The origin of plant extraction cannot be specifically verified, but we can infer that the earliest attempts at plant extraction were more intuitive than scientific. Today, the extraction of compounds is a precise process with plant extraction systems complimenting traditional knowledge.

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 <a href="https://making.com/thc-extract" target="_blank" rel="noopener">separate THC</a> 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.

Go for cannabinoid equipment that delivers gentle extraction 

<h3>Apply cold ethanol extraction to shorten the process stages</h3>
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.

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 <a href="https://making.com/cbd-gummies" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CBD gummies</a>.

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.

Decrease the THC content according to market requirements

Starch can lead to bacterial growth, and many jurisdictions restrict its use for molding. But <a href="https://making.com/stories/tech-is-was-keeping-vitamin-gummy-manufacturers-from-cutting-starch" target="_blank" rel="noopener">starchless depositing equipment</a> 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.

Remove starch from CBD gummies

<h3>Formulate CBD oil products with other ingredients</h3>
CBD oil for medical treatment is dispensed in dosage forms such as <a href="https://making.com/ampoules" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ampoules</a>, syringes, and capsules. Filling medicinal dosage utensils requires cannabinoid equipment to meet GMP standards made from materials like 316L grade stainless steel or PTFE.

<a href="https://making.com/cbd-oil" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CBD oil formulations</a> 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.
