Automated extraction equipment utilizes ice water and agitation to separate trichomes from cannabis plant material, producing a concentrated extract. This process involves specialized washing machines with varying capacities and features, designed to gently agitate the plant matter in ice water, freeing the resin glands. The resulting mixture is then filtered through a series of progressively finer mesh bags, isolating trichomes of different sizes and qualities.
This method offers significant advantages over traditional methods by maximizing yield and preserving the integrity of delicate terpenes and cannabinoids. It represents a substantial advancement in extraction technology, enabling consistent, high-quality concentrate production. The development of this specialized equipment has played a crucial role in the growth and sophistication of the cannabis concentrate market, providing a scalable and efficient solution for producing high-quality extracts.
