Cannabis Products Insider recently spoke to Matt Smith of Silverson Machines and Erin Dillon of Charles Ross & Son Company about their companies’ cannabis experience, the importance of shear, and other crucial mixing and manufacturing considerations.
After a lot of experimentation and research, SoRSE Technology developed a water-soluble, clear CBD isolate that has an improved sensory experience, better homogeneity and accurate dosing
Developing successful mixing processes for cannabis-infused food and beverage manufacturing relies on several factors. Moreover, manufacturers of mixing equipment note one process in particular is especially important to consider: shear.
Model HSM-410—with 1-250 HP to accelerate mixing, emulsification and homogenization in both recirculation and continuous modes—is designed to handle viscosities up to 20,000 cP.
DynaShear model DS-215 lab-scale inline sanitary mixer and emulsifier is suitable for small-scale inline processing, product development, simulation and scale-up.
Growpacker, a Canadian-based contract manufacturer of THC and CBD-infused edibles and beverages in the U.S., has developed a new proprietary technology used for the emulsification and infusion of THC and or CBD distillate. The technology addresses multiple problems associated with current infusion methods, for example, shelf life instability, which leads to active ingredient degradation over time and inconsistent on- and off-set times.
