Rosin Decarboxylation Process:

The Crown Smart Vessel is one of its kind because of its versatility. As the manufacturing industry continues to evolve, we realize the huge opportunity to support all types of extraction including solventless. Though we originally sought out to improve the hydrocarbon extraction process and experience it was quickly determined our Smart vessel was even smarter than we could have imagined. The system was also capable of rosin decarboxylation. This was possible from smart vessels ability to track and record the temperature and pressure parameters utilizing the Ideal Gas Law to calculate the correct routine to increase speed and accurately determine and repeat the process for a reliable production. This data is utilized in combination with the software to predetermine a routine that allows for the process to be self-verifying at the end of the production process. A typical process would involve using fresh or stored rosin material being filled into the vessel and sealed closed. Once sealed and closed the software can be started to control the circulators or heating pads to increase the temperature of the vessel starting the decarboxylation process. The combination of temperature, pressure and ventilation will allow for an accurate process in a controlled repeatable manner. The vessels can then be used as storage containers by utilizing the back gassing features to create an inert environment to stop oxidization for a longer shelf life and between production, verification, and packaging for distribution. The unique process truly takes advantage of the Crown Smart Vessel. The process was formulated by Corey Crosser with 20 years of industry experience, he was able to work with Sample Automation to add this feature to the Crown Smart Vessels add on features.

Diamond Crashing & High Terpene Sauce Separation Process:

A typical Production run of live resin diamonds using a butane hydrocarbon extraction method consists of; a starting batch of material at cold temperatures for THCA extraction to reduce the chances of dilutants to the mother liquors THCA to solvent ratio which is the main factor to the chemical process of creating diamonds. Once the extractor has started the agitation of the collection separation column and the mother liquor is collecting in the lower vessel. By intentionally removing the collection vessel from the extractor with a higher level of solvent is critical to the process. The extractor will then pour that solvent/liquor solution into the miner vessel, cap the vessel with the Crown Miner Cap and check for seal leaks from the vessel with a handheld hydrocarbon monitor. The vessel can then be approved to be removed from the hazardous area and immediately attached to the miner controller and ventilation pipework. Once the vessel is connected to the controller the user will move their operation over to the PC and Device Manager Software program. Within the program a user will already be connected to the controller via the device selector area of the software and then engage the vessel they have just connected to the software. A user will then be presented with a graph and real-time readings of the parameters of the sensors and vessel auxiliary devices. The individual vessel can have individual setting for data logging, temperature control and ventilation routine. These settings are expandable and incorporate a ramping function to have a temperature routine running for the vessel. Custom routines outside of the standard scope of the software can also be customized for the individual user or facility at additional cost. The controller and software use ethernet or USB as forms of communications to the PC. It can be integrated into an existing network of a facility allowing the pc to be located remotely away from personnel to only be touched once the vessel is ready to be harvested by a manager. The controller will continue to operate with all the settings and parameters set by the software if the connection was ever lost. All the data can be set to log in a specific location on a server or network location. In addition, it has features like roll reports and template reports that will auto generate into printable documents for compliance and trackability within a facility or integration into an existing tracing or metrics program. The Crown miner system can be customized in both standard and more sophisticated arrangements and are great to integrate into existing productions. The vessels can be replaced with existing vessels from the extractor manufacturers as the collection vessel on the extractor can act as the same vessel as the miner vessel allowing for an easy and streamlined process. They can also be upgraded over time by replacing heated circulators with refrigerated circulators to increase the operational temperature range for the vessel. Additionally, the controllers can connect to up 2 vessels with the software license able to connect to 4 controllers making a total of 8 vessels per software license. Systems can be designed for these larger arrangements on individual customer or facility bases. The Crown Miner Smart Vessel is an intelligent product that is designed to increase production and safety capabilities for THC-A production as diamonds or sugars as well as a group of other products in the cannabis industry. The vessel is being used for more and more processes within laboratories and will allow a user to gain a better understanding of some of the post processing variables that effect the repeatable production for a facility.
