NEW! -Large scale legal marijuana drying is here.
Eco Logic Dry Kilns and High and Dry Kilns are happy to announce our largest capacity cannabis dehydration designs yet, for both MJ and hemp! For your large scale production, our 90 and 120 foot long, three stage “progressive” drying chambers can meet the challenge. When matched with rolling carts with maximized air flow/capacity ratios, (sold separately), your valuable product will dry in three to six days with no mold and maximum quality results.
Fill one third of the chamber each day at the front end with 3000 plants or more worth of green, separated buds and shake. At the opposite end, dried product is emptied one third each day of continuous operation, for up to 20,000 plants per week. Multiple units will meet even higher volume requirements.
This cost effective method beats expensive, energy intensive and complicated mechanized conveyor belt systems involving high air flow blowers, dehydration units and complex monitoring.
Our patented Eco Walls, which absorb a large percentage of the moisture, require no energy input and allow time for chlorophyll to break down and the beneficial compounds to fully develop, while preventing mold from developing. Some electrical power is required for the low speed circulation and exhaust fans, infrared emitters, monitoring and controls. In high humidity locations air conditioning may also be required to maintain a 70 degree F target range, either in each drying chamber or by controlling the ambient temperature in the containment building, if fully enclosed.
A capacity of roughly 3000 plants per day, per unit is an estimate based on one cubic foot of volume per plant's worth of green buds and shake, which should equate to about 1 lbs. dry weight, per cubic foot. With estimated plants harvested per acre at 2000, ten drying chambers of this size will be required to dry 15 acres per day. Larger designs to increase capacity further can be included in any custom proposal. Smaller units for demonstration of concept and testing can also be included in design proposals.
At the front end of the processing cycle after harvest, buds and shake, separated from stalks and stems, can be quickly transferred by gravity through a flexible chute onto the rolling carts, using much less labor than hanging larger plant sections one at a time.
Eco Logic Dry Kilns proposals may include first drafts of sketches to explain details graphically. These can include dehydration chamber design, rolling cart design and floor plan suggestions for the containment buildings, showing material flow, power input, AC and venting. We look forward to developing the best designs for your legal marijuana and hemp drying needs!
