❗PSA: One size does NOT fit all. 👉 When expanding or upgrading #extract distillation production, selecting the correct type and size of equipment is critical. If too large, both processing quality and ROI will be diminished. If too small, it may be soon outgrown. Several vendors have just one or two models of wiped-film stills to select from. But at Pope, we have a wide range of sizes to offer. We carefully consult our clients at length on many factors to help determine what equipment is needed and optimize it for their particular situation, including versatile planning for the future. We also offer customized options to accommodate various needs and preferences. In addition to the single-stage units listed on our handy chart (link in bio) we also offer skid-mounted, fully automated, turnkey multistage systems. Please review our Wiped-Film Comparison Chart and reach out to discuss your unique needs today!

Pope's turnkey isolation equipment for crystallizing #cannabinoids is preferred-proven for #CBD crystallizing isolation to 99.9%, with less than 0.3%, to undetectable #THC levels.
Simultaneously running a crystallizing Reactor and a Nutsche Filter Dryer provide efficiency along with the greatest purity, yield, and product value in your application.
The advantages of pairing a #Crystallizing Reactor and #Nutsche Filter-Dryer include:
💎 Each vessel is optimally designed for performing these two different processes
💎 Saves time by having both processes running simultaneously
💎 Can be performed with no open handling of the raw material or slurry
💎 Isolation is a critical operation, and often the final step in the entire manufacturing process.
Pope has developed a variety of turnkey systems for creating CBD isolate, including #Crystallization #Reactors.
