I-app ebonakala ilula yokuzalisa ibonisa ukuba ukusebenza ngeoyile ye-cannabis kufuna ukuqonda iimpawu zabo ezizodwa.
Kwi-2015, uJake Berry kunye noColey Walsh baseka iiPyramid Pens, ezisebenza ngoku phantsi kwe-Loud Labs banner kwaye zithengisa iifomyula ezahlukeneyo zeoli ye-cannabis epakishwe kwiikhatriji ezikhoyo kwiindidi ze-e-cigarettes. Besebenzisa inkqubo eyaziwayo yokutsalwa kwe-CO2, amaqabane aseka malunga nokuphuhlisa iintlobo ezahlukeneyo kunye neencasa ze-THC kunye neoyile ye-CBD yokufunxa. Ngapha koko, indlela entsha yokupakisha yohlobo lokupakisha yabamba ingqalelo yethu ngo-2019, jonga into ebebesebenza ngayo ngelo xesha kwaye ubone ukuba bahambe kangakanani nemizamo yabo elandelayo.
Namhlanje, iiLabhu zeLoud zithengisa umgca wazo weoli yePyramid Pens efakwe kwi-cannabis, engena kwiikhatriji kunye neecapsules, eColorado naseMichigan, kwaye ibeka isiseko sokwandiswa kwexesha elizayo kwamanye amazwe. Ukwandiswa yinkqubo entsonkothileyo efuna ukuziqhelanisa nemeko yezomthetho neyentengiso yelizwe ngalinye. Inkampani inika i-oyile ye-oyile ezintandathu zizonke, nganye inamandla ahlukeneyo kunye neprofayili ye-flavour, igxininise, i-distillate, kunye ne-CBD / THC inhlanganisela. Inkampani ikwabonelela ngee-pre-roll ezifakwe ngaphambili kunye ne-slabs yokutya.
Izixhobo zeVape ziza kwiimilo ezininzi, ubungakanani, kunye nobuchwepheshe, zonke zisekwe kwiikhatriji ezizaliswe yioyile. Iikhatriji zihlala zine-0.3, 0.5 okanye i-1 gram yeoli ngokuxhomekeke kuhlobo lwesixhobo. Ukufumana idosi ye-oyile ebiza kakhulu, ukongeza kufuneka kuchanekile. Ioyile yehemp eshushu igalela lula kwisikhongozeli esishushu seThompson Duke IZR Automatic High Volume Filler. Kumatshini, isixhobo esine-cartridge esinokuzaliswa kwakhona sigxininise kwitafile ye-Festo EXCM XY. Isikrini sokuchukumisa se-HMI sivumela umqhubi ukulawula kunye nokwandisa inkqubo ngokusebenzisa imenyu elula yemiyalelo.
“Sifumene iikhilogram zeekhompawundi kwi-extractor,” utshilo u-CEO uBerry. “Ezi khompawundi ziye zidityaniswe kwiindlela ezahlukeneyo zokuyila iimveliso zethu ezizodwa. Emva koko sitsala ioyile ngononophelo kwiflaski ngesirinji encinci kwaye sithathe umthamo weoyile obonisiweyo kwikhatriji.
Njengoko ioli ye-cannabis iphola, iya iba ngqindilili kwaye ibe nzima ngakumbi ukuzoba kunye nedosi echanekileyo. Le oli incangathi kwaye kunzima ukuyilungisa nokucokisa. Inkqubo yokugaya kunye nokukhupha ngesirinji inzima ngokwasemzimbeni nasengqondweni, singasathethi ke ngokucothayo kwaye yinkcitho. Ukongezelela, ifomula nganye ine-viscosity eyahlukileyo, enokutshintsha amandla okusetyenziswa kunye nokusabalalisa. Ilungu leqela elisebenza nzima lingazalisa kwakhona iikhatriji ezingama-100 ukuya kwezingama-200 ngeyure, utshilo uBarry. Njengoko ukuthandwa kweeresiphi zeeLebhu zeLoud zakhula, izinga lokuzaliseka kocwangco lehla. Ukutofa okuninzi kakhulu okufunekayo ngexesha elifutshane kakhulu.
“Sifuna ukusebenzisa olona lwazi lwethu lophuhliso lwemveliso, imarike kunye neemfuno zabathengi ukukhulisa ishishini, kunokuba sichithe ixesha lethu elininzi sigcwalisa iikhatriji ngesandla,” utshilo uBerry.
IiLabs ezikhwazayo zazifuna indlela engcono yokuvelisa iimveliso ezikhuphisanayo nezifikelelekayo ngelixa zigcina umgangatho ophezulu. Iinkqubo ezizenzekelayo zibonakala njengesisombululo esinokubakho. Nangona kunjalo, kuyafaneleka ukuba uqaphele ukuba ekubeni ishishini lisebuntwaneni, izisombululo ezizenzekelayo (ezilungileyo nangona kunjalo) azixhaphakanga njengakumashishini amiselweyo.
Ngo-2018, uBerry noWalsh badibana neThompson Duke Industrial ePortland, Oregon, inkampani yobunjineli basePortland eyenza kunye neenkonzo zeekhatriji kunye necuba ezisetyenziselwa ukugcwalisa kunye nokutywina i-e-cigarettes esekwe kwi-cannabis.
"Sasiyazi ukuba kubaluleke kakhulu ukuqwalasela i-viscosity eguquguqukayo yeoli xa kuyilwa umatshini wokuzalisa i-cannabis," watsho uChris Gardella, i-CTO ye-Thompson Duke Industrial. “Ioyile yeHemp ayisebenzi njengalo naluphi na ulwelo. Ukwakhiwa kweoli nganye kune-viscosity eyahlukileyo. Eminye imixube inokuba ngqindilili kangangokuba ioyile ayisayi kugalela kwitoti kubushushu begumbi.”
Ukuququzelela ukuhamba kweoli, uGardella uthi izinto eziphathekayo zifuna ukufudumeza. Nangona kunjalo, iqondo lokushisa kufuneka lilawulwe ngokuchanekileyo, kuba ubushushu obuphezulu kakhulu bunokonakalisa amacandelo e-oyile, kwaye iqondo lokushisa eliphantsi kakhulu linokunciphisa ukuhamba. Olunye uqwalaselo lolokuba amanye amayeza kufuneka athatywe ngononophelo okanye anokonakala.
I-oyile yesiphaluka ye-Thompson Duke cartridge filler iqulethe i-reservoir eshushu kunye netyhubhu emfutshane edityaniswe kwintloko yedosing emileyo. Ngale ndlela, i-actuator elawulwa ngomoya iphakamisa iplunger yesirinji, ifunxa kwisixa esithile seoli. I-drive yesibini yehlisa isirinji kwikhatriji engenanto kwaye i-drive ityhala iplunger. Inqanaba le-XY elizenzekelayo eliqulethe i-matrix yamakhulu eekhatriji ngokuchanekileyo ibeka ikhatriji nganye ngokulandelelana phantsi kwentloko yokudosa. UThompson Duke ulungelelanise amacandelo omoya kunye nombane kaFesto kunye neenkqubo zoomatshini bayo ngokusekelwe kubukho bamalungu, umgangatho kunye nenkxaso. Emva kokuba izaliswe ngesandla, ichitha ixesha kunye nenkcitho, iiLabhu eziPhezulu ngoku zisebenzisa iFesto-based automated Thompson Duke oomatshini ukucwangcisa ngokucocekileyo amakhulu eekhatriji ngemizuzu ngaphandle kwenkunkuma.
"Olunye uqwalaselo loyilo kukuba ukuqulunqwa kweoli nganye kuya kuhanjiswa kwinqanaba elihlukeneyo, kwaye njengoko ioli ishushu, inokusabalalisa ngokukhawuleza, oku kuthetha ukuba itafile ye-XY ikhawuleza kwaye ilungelelaniswe nentloko ye-dosing," kusho uGardella. "Le nkqubo sele intsonkothile yenziwa nzima ngakumbi kukuba ishishini lezixhobo ze-evaporator lisiya kubume bekhatriji ezahlukeneyo."
Ukwazi iimpawu zobuchwepheshe zeLoud Labs formulations kunye nento abayenzayo, uBerry noWalsh bacinga ukuba bathetha nomthengisi oqondayo iimfuno zabo emva kokuva abasebenzi bakaThompson Duke bechaza iimpawu zoyilo lomatshini wokugcwalisa we-IZR onelungelo elilodwa lomenzi wenkampani.
Bachulumancile ngekhono lenkqubo ye-industrial-grade system ekwaziyo ukuzalisa kwakhona iikhatriji ezili-1,000 ngeyure, okuthetha ukuba umatshini omnye unokwenza umsebenzi wabasebenzi abane ubuncinane ngokuchaneka ngakumbi kunye nenkunkuma encinane. Eli nqanaba lemveliso liya kuba ngumtshintshi wemidlalo yenkampani, kungekhona nje ngokuhambelana neekhatriji ezizaliswe ngokutsha kunye nokuphendula ngokukhawuleza kwii-odolo, kodwa nangokwemiqathango yokonga abasebenzi. Abanini bamashishini baye bafunda ukuba umatshini we-Thompson Duke unokutshintsha ukusuka kwioli enye ukuya kwelinye ngaphantsi kwemizuzwana ye-60, eyinzuzo kwiinkampani ezifana neLoud Labs ezinemiqulu emininzi.
UThompson Duke wongeza iinyaniso ezimbini ezongezelelweyo kwiNgxoxo. Inkampani ibandakanyeka kwinkxaso yobugcisa. Emva kokuthengisa, abathengi banokuqinisekiswa ngenkxaso ekumgangatho wehlabathi. Ukongeza, isoftware yeThompson Duke yenza kube lula kubaqhubi ukuba bajonge iinkqubo ezinzima. UBerry noWalsh bakhawuleza bathenga umatshini wokuzalisa iThompson Duke IZR.
"Kwishishini le-cannabis, abathengi bajonge iimpawu abanokuzithemba-iimpawu ezibonelela ngekhwalithi yemveliso engaguqukiyo kunye neentlobo ezahlukeneyo," utshilo uBerry. “Namhlanje, iiPyramid Pens zibonelela ngeeoli ezintandathu ezahlukeneyo ezicocekileyo, ezinamandla kunye nesulungekileyo ze-cannabis ezipakishwe kwiikhatriji ezihambelana naso nasiphi na isixhobo sevape esinebhetri engama-510. Ibonelela ngeentlobo ezintlanu ezahlukeneyo ze-Pax Era pods, kunye neekhatriji ezintathu ezahlukeneyo zokuzalisa kunye ne-e-cigarettes elahlayo. Konke oku kufakwe i-refueled kusetyenziswa oomatshini bokuzalisa ngokuzenzekelayo beThompson Duke. Ukongeza, iiLabhu eziPhezulu zifezekise inkqubo yokwenziwa lula. Inkampani yongeze umshicileli we-cartridge we-Thompson Duke LFP.
I-automation isusa izithintelo zomzimba ezinxulumene neenkqubo zezandla, zikhawuleza amaxesha okukhokela, kwaye ziqinisekisa ulawulo oluchanekileyo lomgangatho. Ngaphambi kokwaziswa, iiodolo ezinkulu zinokugqitywa ukuya kutsho kwinyanga, kodwa ngoku iiodolo ezinkulu zinokugqitywa ngeentsuku ezimbalwa.
"Ngokubambisana ne-Thompson Duke Industrial, i-Loud Labs iphumelele ukubuyisela ngokukhawuleza kutyalo-mali ngokubandakanya isantya, ukusebenza kakuhle, ukulawula umgangatho kunye nezisombululo ezingabizi kakhulu kwindawo yokuvelisa," kusho uBerry.
"Kukho izinto ezintathu ezithathwayo kumava eLoud Labs," wongeza uWalsh. “I-Hemp sisixhobo esineempawu ezizodwa. Uluntu lokubonelela kufuneka luphuhlise izisombululo ezizenzekelayo kunye nokupakishwa ngokukodwa kwi-hemp, okanye ubuncinci zilungele ukuguqula kakhulu iinkqubo ukuze zilungelelanise neempawu zokusebenza kwezinto.
“Into yesibini ethathwayo kukuba eli lishishini elitsha. Iinkampani ze-Cannabis ziya kuxhamla ngokulula ukusetyenziswa kunye nenqanaba eliphezulu lenkxaso. Okokugqibela, kunokubakho imfuneko yokubalwa kwe-elektroniki, ukulandeleka kunye neendlela ezilungileyo zokuvelisa kwikamva elikufutshane. Ababoneleli kunye nabasebenzisi bokugqibela kufuneka bayilungele. ”
Ngelo xesha, bobabini uBerry noWalsh bathi baqhubeka nokuphuhliswa kwemveliso, ukufumana iindlela zokwenza ngokuzenzekelayo, ukuhlola ukwandiswa kweNew South Wales kwaye, okona kubaluleke kakhulu, kugxininise ekuboneleleni abathengisi babo kunye nabathengi nge-brand premium brand. abanokuthi bathembele kuyo.
Iikhatriji ezizaliswe kwangaphambili kwaye zitywinwe zilungele ukuthengiswa kwiingxowa ze-CR. Le yunithi ephezulu ye-IZR ngumatshini we-tabletop oyilwe kwaye wakhiwe e-USA kunye nesiseko esilula ngokukhohlisa, i-HMI, itafile ye-XY kunye noyilo lwesekethe ye-oyile ephezulu. Amacandelo ombane kunye ne-pneumatic amacandelo aqhelekileyo amashishini avela kwi-Festo kwaye aqinisekisa ubomi obude benkonzo, ukusebenza okungenangxaki kunye nokufumaneka kwemveliso ephezulu. Oku kulula kunye nokusebenziseka ngokulula kubalulekile kwezinye iindawo kwishishini le-cannabis njengoko ulwazi oluzenzekelayo lusaqhubeka. Nangona kunjalo, le teknoloji inelungelo elilodwa lomenzi wechiza ibonelela ngenkqubo enamandla yokusebenza ezenzekelayo.
Phezulu komatshini kukho isifudumezi kunye ne-500 ml yokugcina amanzi. Abavelisi bafudumeza ioyile yabo ye-cannabis ngaphambi kokubeka ioyile kwitanki apho kugcinwa khona ubushushu obuchanekileyo. Umbhobho ocacileyo osemazantsi ovimba ubonelela ngendlela yokukhupha ioyile ngesixhobo sokukhupha incam yesirinji. Xa ilixesha lokutshintsha phakathi kweendlela ezahlukeneyo ze-oyile, indawo yokugcina amanzi, iityhubhu, ivalve yokujonga kunye nesirinji yedosi ikhutshwa ngokukhawuleza kwaye endaweni yayo kufakwe iseti enikezelweyo yamalungu asecaleni. Ukutshintsha phakathi kweeresiphi zeoli kuthatha malunga nomzuzu. Amacandelo asusiweyo ayacocwa kwaye alungiselelwe ibhetshi elandelayo.
Isibane sobushushu be-gooseneck silungelelaniswa ngokulula kwaye sigcina i-oyile ishushu ixesha elifutshane kakhulu njengoko iphuma kwitanki ukuya kwikhatriji. Embindini ophezulu walo mfanekiso kukho imilomo yedosi elawulwa ziisilinda ezimbini zeFesto. I-cylinder ephezulu iphakamisa ipiston, idonsa ioli kwisirinji yokudosa. Ngokukhawuleza ukuba inani elifunekayo leoli lifakwe kwisirinji, i-cylinder yesibini yehlisa i-syringe, ivumela inaliti ukuba ifakwe kwi-cartridge. I-plunger icinezelwe yi-cylinder, kwaye ioli ingena kwi-barrel. Zombini iisilinda zilungelelaniswa ngokulula ngesandla zisebenzisa ukumisa oomatshini.
Itheyibhile ye-XY yalo matshini we-IZR yaphuhliswa kuqala nguFesto ukuqinisekisa isantya kunye nokuchaneka kokuphathwa kwesampulu kwilabhoratri ezenzekelayo. Ichanekile kakhulu njengoko ikhomba kwi-cartridge phantsi kwentloko yokuzalisa kwaye inokwethenjelwa kwishishini. I-XY-table EXCM, i-HMI, iqondo lokushisa, i-pneumatics - yonke into ilawulwa yi-Festo PLC encinci kwi-IZR yezindlu.
Isikrini sokuchukumisa i-HMI sivumela umqhubi ukuba alawule kwaye akhulise inkqubo ngemenyu elula yemiyalelo (khomba kwaye ucofe). Zonke iinkqubo ezintsonkothileyo zikhutshelwa kwaye zivavanywa ngokupheleleyo phambi kokuba iyunithi nganye ithunyelwe. Ukusebenzisa i-Codesys API, inkqubo yokusebenza kunye nenkqubo yokunika ingxelo inokuqokelela yonke imveliso efunekayo kunye nedatha ye-batch traceability, eyandulela imfuno ye-FDA yokugcina irekhodi kule nqanaba.
Le LFP yitoni ezine zoshicilelo lwe-pneumatic esebenza ngokupheleleyo kuxinzelelo lomoya kwaye ayinazo izinto zombane. Qhagamshela icompressor yomoya kwi-LFP kwaye uqalise. Umsebenzisi ungena kumandla afunwayo ukusuka kwi-0.5 ukuya kwiitoni ze-4 kunye nokulawulwa kwamandla okulungelelaniswa ngokupheleleyo. Bavala ucango kwaye flip iswitshi kwindawo eyandisiweyo. Umnyango wokuvala umnyango uyasebenza kwaye umsebenzi uqala. Hambisa iswitshi kwindawo erhoxisiweyo, umshicileli uya kurhoxa kwaye isitshixo socango siya kuvula. Kwakhona, uThompson Duke udibanisa amacandelo amashishini anzima ngokulula kubasebenzisi abajonga izibonelelo zokuzenzekelayo.
