A Guide To Solventless Extracts

Revered by many for its ability to produce clean, terpene-rich, and full-spectrum concentrates, solventless extraction stands in contrast to more traditional solvent-based techniques that employ butane, propane, ethanol, or CO2.

Whether you’re an entrepreneurial technician with a passion for purity or an investor seeking the next breakthrough, it's crucial for anyone currently contemplating entering the extraction industry to understand the various nuances of solventless cannabis concentrates. While the promise of an environmentally friendly and 'true-to-plant' concentrate certainly sounds enticing, the path to scaling and commercializing these kinds of operations can be fraught with all sorts of challenges that many might not initially anticipate.

PureFlowN₂: Improving IO Extractor Production Rate with Nitrogen Assist

2022 saw the fall of cannabis prices across North America. According to Bloomberg,

"The retail price of a gram of marijuana dropped 13% to $9.43 in the third quarter of 2022 from $10.83 in the same period a year earlier — the steepest fall ever seen for marijuana in 12 months, according to BDSA. Wholesale price declines were even more dramatic, especially in more “mature” markets that have had legal programs for longer, BDSA data shows. Colorado's average price per pound has declined 51% since the fourth quarter of 2020. In Oregon, it’s down 36%." (Kary, Tiffany (December 2022).

Falling prices put pressure on margins up and down the supply chain. This co-occurred as cannabis markets matured and consumers became more educated and demanded higher quality products. There is a clear need for increased throughput without compromising product quality.
