The hemp industry has expanded rapidly in the last half-decade; however, CBD isolate production processes are still in the early stage of development. To date, there is no standardised industrial method for large-scale production of high-quality CBD isolate.
Existing CBD isolate crystallization processes are often crude, inefficient, and expensive to operate, as well as challenging to scale up. As a result, CBD isolate yields are frequently low, and multiple recrystallization steps may be required to achieve the desired purity.
NiTech offers a proven platform to achieve a high yield (> 84 %) of high purity (> 98.5 %) CBD isolate in a single pass, removing the need for recrystallization, thus, making major improvements to manufacturers’ efficiency, profitability and repeatability.
Batch processing used to be the only way to perform crystallization operations. Many established industries are burdened with major amounts of legacy batch process equipment as a result.
New industries, such as CBD isolate production, do not have this problem. They can use modern continuous equipment that will manufacture a high-quality, highly reproducible final product. NiTech’s Continuous Oscillatory Baffled Crystallizers (COBC’s) enable the CBD isolate industry to maximise profitability and minimise operational costs and safety risks by:
Producing high purity (>98.5 %) CBD isolate in a single pass
No more expensive/time-consuming recrystallisation steps
Maximised CBD isolate yields (>84 %)
Optimise your manufacturing efficiency
High production rates per unit volume of crystallizer
Produce kilos to multi-tonnes of CBD isolate per day with a small footprint
A continuous process with a consistent final product
No more batch-to-batch variability
Simple, linear scale-up to larger throughputs
Lower your development costs – we give you the process
C1D1/ATEX-certified units available
Rated for use in hazardous environments
