Elevate Your Cannabis: How Vaportrol® Technology Can Benefit a Vertically Integrated Company.
Competition is fierce in the cannabis industry. Vertically integrated companies have a unique opportunity to control the quality of their product from the day the very first roots are established in the grow room to the moment your flower is bought at retail.
Cannabis consumers are more educated and discerning than ever. While there will always be “THC Hunters,” more consumers understand the value (and importance) of terpenes and a smooth and tasty smoke – they are looking for a great experience. Consumers want consistency; they want to know that every time they buy their favorite cultivar from their favorite dispensary, it will deliver the same experience.
So, how can a vertically integrated operation refine the post-harvest process to consistently deliver extraordinary quality day after day? Yes, you need superior genetics and excellent growing, but your work isn’t done until you’ve taken that precious flower through the post-harvest process and on to your dispensary. That’s where the precision control that Cannatrol Systems delivers can be your secret weapon.
Maintaining control and consistency in your operation is essential to success. Cannatrol’s Vaportrol Technology can affect every stage of your business by automating and optimizing vapor pressure control in the post-harvest process, leading to higher yields, better quality cannabis, and, ultimately, higher profitability.
What is a Cannatrol System?
A Cannatrol System uses patented Vaportrol® Technology to level out the drying, curing, and storage environment in every season, climate, and geography. It takes the guesswork and risk out of seasonal humidity and temperature swings. Cannatrol’s Technology gives precise control of vapor pressure in a sealed space. When we control the vapor pressure, we can control the product’s water activity in the flower. When we control the water activity, we stop over-drying the product.
When flower is dried, cured, and stored in a stable controlled environment with consistent vapor pressure, the flower’s water activity level can be kept between 0.6 and 0.65. Then, the maximum bound moisture level can be retained without danger of mold growth. Cannatrol Systems provide a level of control to consistently achieve the optimal water activity level and never over-dry your harvest.
Testing proves that even the slightest shift in water activity can increase yields and profitability. If your flower is currently testing at a water activity of 0.5, increasing that to just 0.6 can result in as much as a 5.6% increase in profitability. Couple the yield increase with the potential labor savings that the Cannatrol system brings to your process, and you’ve just made a major improvement on the post-harvest process.
However, the benefits of controlled vapor pressure go far beyond yield. Lab testing has proven that drying and curing in a Cannatrol system delivers on average, 16% higher terpene retention. The result, you are delivering a truly superior flower every day to your customers.
Correctly handling your flower doesn’t end until it is in your customer’s hand. Now, you can even have Vaportrol Technology in your dispensaries for both on-site storage with the new S Series storage systems and point-of-sale display with beautifully custom-branded Cool Cure units.
So, when we think about the unique opportunity vertically integrated growers have to control the process from start to finish – delivering a superior quality product, elevating your brand and staying profitable are all within reach.
