Dispelling the myths around cbd products

Due to the uncertainties around CBD production and use, all eyes are on cannabis products and their effects. It is under heavy scrutiny and hence one bad product can easily taint public opinion and serve as misinformation about the industry at large. Thus, CBD oil manufacturers must actively work to distinguish themselves as experts in safety and quality. Most producers of CBD oil infused products such as gummies, encounter their fair share of difficulties, transferring their product to widespread application. This is because incorporating cannabis within vaping oils, lotions, food, and other products for public usage is an intricate process. Thus using a high-pressure homogenizer is essential and can alleviate many of the difficulties associated with the production of medical and commercial cannabis products. It not only creates better looking and better tasting products, but also increases the bioavailability of the CBD compound by maximizing surface area to allow increased dissolution and absorption. Thus facilitating the absorption of more active ingredient so well that manufacturers can use less of it, reducing costs and shortening production times.

Extracting CBD oil from hemp

Another myth people have is that CBD and Cannabis are the same thing. This is not true as CBD is one of many chemicals found in the resin of the cannabis or “marijuana” plant. (for instance, THC, is another.) Traditionally, the most common extraction methods used in the creation of cannabis crude oil have been CO2 extraction, light hydrocarbon extraction, and warm ethanol extraction. However, for crude CBD oil, cold-ethanol extraction process offers a highly time-efficient and effective solution. This is because it provides the benefit of bypassing several steps in the hemp processing facilities, reducing the extraction process of crude CBD oil down from several days to just a few hours. After this process the crude CBD oil is then distilled or put through various other processes depending on their application and the respective country legislations.

Continuous vacuum belt dryer for efficient, gentle drying of concentrates

Devex vacuum dryers are designed for continuous loading of liquid or solid products and the continuous discharge of dried granulate. The end product is discharged in GMP clean room conditions ready to be further processed, making this ideal for food and pharmaceutical uses.

Due to the vacuum, very low water evaporation temperatures can be achieved. This preserves aroma and product colour. Changes to the vacuum process enable control of bulk density and other product characteristics to your requirements.

The Devex vacuum belt dryer is able to operate a vacuum from 10 to 80 mbar to suit all production requirements with a continuous belt surface of 200 to 300 metres.

The Devex belt dryer is able to handle liquid products, concentrates and viscous products all whilst resulting in the best quality end-product. The fully closed belt system means no mechanical handling stress on product, no oxidation, and no environmental pollution.

Pilot evaporation plant for R&D and small scale production of a wide range of concentrates

The Devex pilot evaporation plant has been designed with a 100kg per hour capacity and yet its compact construction means it can operate in the smallest of spaces.

Appropriate for use to concentrate a wide range of extractions based on water or ethanol solvent including herbal extracts and medicinal plant, coffee and tea, fruit and vegetable concentrates, and aromas and colourings.

The plant consists of a plate evaporator with a downstream centrifugal separator. The evaporated vapours are condensed in a plate condenser. A vacuum pump is connected to the condenser, and the vacuum can be adjusted between 20 and 800 mbar. The evaporation temperature can be adjusted according to the product specific boiling curve through the applied vacuum. In this way even temperature sensitive extracts can be concentrated.

Each Devex pilot plant is designed to meet your exact requirements, and can utilise various technologies such as rising film evaporators and falling film evaporators, solvent recovery, and optional thermal vapour compressor.
