Grassroots Marketing speaks with Jane (CEO) and David Sandelman (CMO) of Cannatrol, the disruptive innovator in precision cannabis drying and curing systems about their new patent.
“Cannatrol’s patented technology takes the guesswork out of cannabis drying and curing to the benefit of growers, processors and end-users,” said David Sandelman, Chief Engineer at Cannatrol and a serial technology innovator. “Cannatrol eliminates the risk of over-drying. The precise environmental control overcomes the challenge of processing in all types of environments including moist coastal air and dry mountain climates. The Cannatrol System addresses the poor quality, and low profitability often found in the cannabis finishing process and replaces it with precise environmental control, proven science, and plug and play technology.”
Drying, curing, and storing ready-to-market legal cannabis is plagued by over-drying, inconsistent quality, waste, mold, sub-optimal profitability, and an overall inconsistent consumer experience. Over-drying results in significant declines in production revenue, while controlled, proper post-harvest management can boost margins by as much as 5 percent.
The Cannatrol™ Dry/Cure system provides a controlled, repeatable, chemical- and heat-free drying and curing solution, resulting in superior terpene retention, consistent-quality, visually appealing cannabis products for all regulated medical and recreational applications. The Cannatrol system helps producers deliver a premium product, highly differentiated from competitors.
Since launching in the cannabis market in 2019, more than 1,500 Cannatrol commercial and individual user units are in operation in 48 US states and 8 countries.
VT Dry & Cure Technologies, Inc., owners of Cannatrol and the Vaportrol® Technology, now hold one patent, one allowed patent awaiting publication, and one additional patent underway for its drying and curing processes and products. International applications also are in-process in the EU, New Zealand and Australia.
