From harvest, to extraction, to final product, hemp processing encompasses the entire process of hemp extraction and is essential to creating a successful extraction business. In this presentation, founder, president and CEO of extraktLAB, Dr. Jon Thompson, will discuss hemp processing in detail starting from the very beginning of harvesting, shucking and bucking hemp biomass, to extraction, to winterization, to solvent removal, all the way to distillation and product formulation. When it comes to proper hemp processing, each step in the extraction process has to be dialed in to create CBD products that are not only of the highest quality, but are also safe for consumers to create a reputable brand. In order to accomplish this, a number of various factors need to be considered- all of which are discussed by Dr. Jon in this presentation. Dr. Jon will also briefly discuss the state-of-the-art extraktLAB equipment available for each of these hemp processing steps including the ShuckNbuck hemp bucking machine, supercritical CO2 extractors, DrainDROYD vacuum filtration apparatus, fracTron falling film evaporator, clearSTILL dual-stage wiped film evaporator, pure99 high performance liquid chromatography system, CO2Cage CO2 supply apparatus, and igwLAB GMP compliance software. A full hemp processing turnkey solution with full training and all this extraktLAB equipment is available to help you get your own extraction business up and running.

![Are You Throwing Away Money?! Terpenes
Are you throwing away money?! Terpenes Part. 1
In the hemp and botanical processing industry, cannabinoids often take center stage on the priority list. Most producers will be certain that their extraction, and distillation methods are tuned in perfectly to collect and preserve the best cannabinoids for product formulation down the line. But, terpenes are equally as vital to an end product, so why is there less emphasis on their collection, preservation and product formulation? If you aren’t properly identifying the best methods to collect and preserve those precious terps, you could be throwing money out the window!
In this episode of extrakTALKS, Dr. Jon and Randall Thompson break down one of four discussions about terpenes, and why you shouldn’t be throwing your money out the window. This episode particularly focuses on the basics - what terpenes are, why they are so valuable to the industry and how you would likely waste money by collecting them at the wrong time, or not collecting them at all! Getting more into the complicated side of the matter, Dr. Jon discusses the stability of common terpenes, how to store them, and how to preserve them so that they can be used in product formulations down the line
