Manufacturers often face big losses to their profits due to this. Lowtemp Industries created a white paper focusing on concentrate packaging automation, please click here to learn more (3).
Additionally in the press release, it explores how the Lowtemp Concentrate Dispenser was designed “to preserve the delicate cannabinoids and terpenes of concentrates that customers demand with a dispensing accuracy of +/- 1%, which is over twice as accurate as manual packaging technicians on average. It works with many of the most popularly sold textures of rosin and live resin, including cold cure, fresh press, jams, sauces, and much more,” (1). The technology helps processors out also by not requiring special training which means that staff employees at the entry level are able to learn the dispenser through the touchscreen interface. The average salary of a lab technician (1) may be $52,000 per year, with the new dispenser, Lowtemp Industries mentioned that in possibly three months, most operators are able to receive a return on investment (ROI).
