Vacuum Freeze Drying for Cannabis Flower Recently, I have become fascinated with the process of drying cannabis flower using a vacuum freeze dryer. While typically used for drying water/bubble hash in the cannabis industry, this technology is also prevalent in pharmaceuticals and food processing. Companies like CryoCure have even developed vacuum freeze dryers with specific settings tailored for cannabis flower drying. However, using the same run times as for drying hash often results in overly dry flower. This piqued my interest about how vacuum freeze drying can be optimized for cannabis flower. I am curious if anyone in the Netherlands is using vacuum freeze drying for their cannabis flower. I am eager to learn more about this process and how it can be optimized. If you have experience drying flower with a Harvest Right vacuum freeze dryer, I would love to hear about the settings and techniques you use. Additionally, if anyone in the Netherlands is employing this method and willing to share their knowledge, I would be very interested in learning more. #CannabisIndustry #VacuumFreezeDrying #CryoCure #Horticulture #CannabisProcessing #NetherlandsCannabis

This irreversibly destroys bonds within the cell DNA of harmful microorganisms like mold, yeast, Penicillium, and Aspergillus. X-ray is considered a cold pasteurization technique for sterilization, which means there is no heat to cause decarboxylation, and no chemical residues left behind. It preserves both the product quality and its characteristics!   𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗶𝘁, 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗮𝘆 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝘆: https://lnkd.in/eCp2B6UF #cannabisirradiation #xray #cannabisdecontamination #cannabisremediation #cannabistesting #cannabissociety #cannabisindustry #cannabisbusiness #cannabisculture

Impregnation solutions with low powder contents… In the pharma or healthcare industry, a very low dose of active ingredient can be sufficient to obtain required properties, leading sometimes to very challenging deposition steps. FIBROLINE SA solutions are able to distribute relatively low amounts of additives (a few grams per square meter), but in case of necessity to reach lower levels, the addition of an excipient powder can facilitate the powder deposition step, without affecting the active ingredient characteristics. Starch and calcium carbonate (CaCO3) are commonly used for such a dilution, as well as several other additives. Fibroline R&D team can support you in order to select the optimal inert powder, according to your technical constraints and material characteristics.
