I was wondering if someone has pricing for courses that my partner and I can come do in the USA regarding Post processing. ( initial processing, post-processing, distillation, fractional distillation, vape cart formulation)
We are coming from South Africa and are keen to see what the leaders in the industry can show us.
We want to go view cultivation facilities, extraction facilities, even home extraction setups.
Basically, we would like to meet who we can that is willing and able to educate us.
Also any suggestions on green-friendly accommodation in the areas where it all happens. (Maybe AirBnB)??
How do u plan on extracting? cause it effects how u do post purification in many instances. Ive worked as a small family grow, extraction/purification and vape pen business for 8 years and just recently started working with large scale cbd extraction operations designing systems and facilities. I dont really put on classes tho and dont really pay attention who does but do know which companies are focused on this topic and might be able to point u in the right direction. What type of end product ru going for?
but of those two i would recommend lab society over summit but they are both distillation focused companies. so other techniques like liquid-liquid extraction or chromatography might not be covered
Well we were thinking of doing Butane/Propane extraction or Ethanol. Co2 is very expensive from what ive researched.
End product could be a range of products. but I would like to focus on learning how to use an SPD and all that comes with it, make vape carts, recreational dabs (wax, shatter, butter, crash diamonds) please excuse my terminology. I guess running a CLS or ethanol machine comes with practice?
ur right about co2 being expensive for extraction and i dont think its worth the additional expense over cryogenic ethanol. butane can be a great option but is sometimes a target of politics cause of its fire risk. its not really hard to run a CLS or ethanol machine its just different products often use the same equipment differently. getting a specific product consistently is what takes practise. SPD is always gonna be the major path but there r many other processes that can be used in post purification. and if all u do is distillation u might have other complications
