Grinding Optimization Feasibility Study
FY 2019-20 · 2019-09-09
Summary
In order to prepare raw Cannabis or Hemp for processing and extraction of THC/CBD constituents the product must be “ground” to uniform particle size to ensure even processing of the product. Additional steps exist before Cannabis material can go through extraction, but for now grinding is our focus. Most commercially available grinders have inherent flaws which affect their performance, product quality, and cost. This was brought to our attention through our relationship with licenced producers and their attempts at solving problems with exiting grinders.
The purpose of this project is to develop a cannabis grinder of novel design with the intent of offering a commercialized product. Kilmarnock currently has a theoretical concept which will be tested.

Description
In order to prepare raw Cannabis or Hemp for processing and extraction of THC/CBD constituents the product must be “ground” to uniform particle size to ensure even processing of the product. Additional steps exist before Cannabis material can go through extraction, but for now grinding is our focus. Most commercially available grinders have inherent flaws which affect their performance, product quality, and cost. This was brought to our attention through our relationship with licenced producers and their attempts at solving problems with exiting grinders.
The purpose of this project is to develop a cannabis grinder of novel design with the intent of offering a commercialized product. Kilmarnock currently has a theoretical concept which will be tested.
Description (French)
Afin de préparer le cannabis ou le chanvre brut pour la transformation et l'extraction des constituants THC / CBD, le produit doit être "broyé" à une taille de particules uniforme pour assurer une transformation uniforme du produit. Il existe d'autres étapes avant que le matériel de cannabis ne puisse passer par l'extraction, mais pour l'instant, le broyage est notre priorité. La plupart des broyeurs disponibles sur le marché ont des défauts inhérents qui affectent leur performance, la qualité du produit et le coût. Cette situation a été portée à notre attention grâce à notre relation avec les producteurs titulaires d'une licence et à leurs efforts pour résoudre les problèmes liés à la sortie des broyeurs existants. Le but de ce projet est de développer un broyeur de cannabis de conception nouvelle dans le but d'offrir un produit commercialisé. Kilmarnock dispose actuellement d'un concept théorique qui sera testé.
