Microwave Dryers

When your operation grows and you have more money and product than space, microwave drying is an expensive but more compact way to dry your product. The WaveMix uses vacuum to reduce the moisture's boiling point and tightly controlled microwaves to hold product to the exact desired temperature within less than 1°F variance. This allows you to mitigate risk in the fluid bed phase and make the speed/degredation tradeoff you want—from slow with minimal loss to fast and higher loss.  It also allows the use of decarboxylate pellets.

WaveMix System No Background

Because these mixers retains up to 99% of extract content and the specially-designed mixing paddles are gentle on product, this method poses valuable advantages for all forms of bud. Various system sizes are available from 60 to 400 cubic foot volumes.
