Cryomass Technologies Inc. has begun real-time trials of a full-scale, user-ready model of its patented cryogenic system for capturing the high-value elements of hemp and cannabis plants. The device occupies 160 square feet of floor space, stands 11 feet tall and operates with ultra-cold liquid nitrogen. To determine the most efficient throughput rates for different types of gross plant material.

Efficient throughput rates allow the equipment to operate continuously, without costly down time. Conventional methods of capturing cannabinoids are costly, requiring extensive handling and controlled drying. And they generally entail the loss of one-third or so of a plant's cannabinoid-bearing trichomes.

CryoMass Technologies' preliminary trial results reinforce management's opinion that the current device as is offers compelling time, cost and quality advantages to any large-scale cultivator or processor of hemp or cannabis.
