US-based tool manufacturer Lowtemp Industries has unveiled a technology, dubbed the Lowtemp Concentrate Dispenser (LCD), which is poised to transform the legal cannabis and hemp processing industry.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The machine, which does not require heat or pressurised gases, can dispense between 400 to 1,000 shots per hour, with each shot ranging from 0.5g to 5g with a single operator.<\/p>\n

The LCD is designed to significantly reduce labour costs while increasing packaging outputs for grammed concentrates by more than 800%.<\/p>\n

The company claims that the machine can preserve the delicate cannabinoids and terpenes of concentrates, which customers need with a dispensing accuracy of within 1%, more than double the precision of manual packaging technicians, claims the company. \u00a0<\/p>\n

It is compatible with various textures of rosin and live resin, including cold cure, fresh press, jams, and sauces.<\/p>\n

The machine\u2019s full-colour touchscreen interface allows for easy operation, requiring no special training for entry-level staff.<\/p>\n

The LCD is available with prices starting at approximately $40,000. It removes the packaging bottleneck in both solvent-based and solventless concentrate manufacturing while preserving the essence of the dababble stock-keeping units.<\/p>\n

Founded in 2015, Lowtemp Industries creates US-made solventless extraction solutions.<\/p>\n

Lowtemp Industries is also expanding its reach to solvent-based operators at a time when market competition is intensifying. The cost of packaging extracts is often underestimated, leading to significant profit loss for many processors.<\/p>\n

According to the company, with the average lab technician\u2019s annual cost at around $52,000 and overfilling leading to substantial product loss, the LCD offers a rapid return on investment, potentially within as little as three months.<\/p>\n
