Cannabis Extraction and Production: Advanced Equipment for Industry and Research

The medical and research cannabis industry is constantly growing, demanding advanced and reliable technological solutions for processing plant material and producing high-quality extracts and oils. Labotal offers a wide range of equipment and solutions tailored to the various stages of production and extraction processes, while meeting stringent standards and regulatory requirements.

Principles and Technologies of Cannabis Extraction and Production

The primary goal in cannabis extraction and production processes is to isolate and separate the desired active compounds, mainly cannabinoids (such as THC and CBD) and terpenes, from the raw plant material. Several common extraction technologies exist, including solvent-based extraction (e.g., ethanol, supercritical CO2) and solventless extraction (e.g., pressure pressing). Each method has advantages and disadvantages regarding efficiency, selectivity, safety, and required equipment.

Beyond the initial extraction stage, further processes like winterization (to remove fats and waxes), decarboxylation (to activate cannabinoids), and distillation (for purification and concentration of the extract) require dedicated and precise equipment. These steps are crucial for obtaining a clean, uniform final product that meets the required standards for concentration and purity.

Key Applications in the Cannabis Industry

The equipment and solutions in this category cater to a wide range of needs within the cannabis field:

• Medical Cannabis Production: Producing oils, extracts, and concentrates in various concentrations intended for medical treatment.
• Research and Development (R&D): Developing new formulations, studying specific cannabinoids and terpenes, optimizing extraction and purification processes.
• Quality Control (QC): Preparing samples for analytical testing (such as HPLC, GC) to determine cannabinoid and terpene profiles, testing for residual solvents and pesticides.
• Academic Research: Investigating the chemistry, pharmacology, and potential applications of the cannabis plant and its compounds.
• Pilot and Scale-Up: Feasibility testing and scaling up extraction and production processes from the lab to manufacturing.
