2-stage-fluid-bed-dryer-for-cannabis

Kason Corporation

2-stage fluid bed dryer for cannabis
The company, along with ABM Equipment, has introduced a patent-pending 2-stage fluid bed dryer that can dry up to 10,000 pounds of cannabis per hour with minimal cannabinoid loss. Ideal for batch or continuous drying of cannabis biomass, the VIBRO-BED fluid bed dryer uses heat as an accelerant rather than a primary driver for evaporation, burning off less CBD than alternate technologies. www.kason.com
