Solventless extraction system for cannabis processing with Rachel and Steve Sherwood
Another solventless extraction system for cannabis processing. I was able to catch up with Rachel and Steve Sherwood to talk about the Loxley Systems. The system could do a minimum of 750 lbs and up to 100,000 lbs per day. They will discuss how they pivoted to smaller models that can be used on the benchtop and in batch and continuous mode. How they came into the business is fascinating to me, and the five years of development to May 2022.
