![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

How To Use a Bucking Machine
A high-speed bucking machine for removal of biomass flower from stems and is designed for indoor or outdoor use. It delivers the capacity to process 1 acre of plant harvest in 3 hours, with a single operator. The biomass is deposited neatly into your container of choice for storage or shipment.
The ShuckNBuck biomass bucking machine is by far the fastest dry-bucking machine on the market. Capable of processing over 1 acre of dry industrial biomass in about three hours, the bucking machine creates processor-ready ground material. The powder-coated carbon steel construction and 1 HP motors enable quick bucking with little to no effort.
Check out information on the recommended bucking machine in the market today here https://extraktlab.com/bucking-machine/. Process Your Harvest With The High Speed Bucking Machine Built For Volume.

![No Holds Barred!: Bottlenecks Solved!
Bottlenecks are an issue within any business and inside any industry. These issues are never easy to solve, but there are always solutions. Inside the hemp and botanical industry there are many potential areas in the process that can lead to bottlenecks. Fortunately for this industry, extraktLAB has created a solution to these problems with the igwLAB.
igwLAB is a GMP-compliant, specialized manufacturing execution and quality tracking system (MES) built specifically for the botanical industry. The igwLAB provides information to help manufacturing decision makers understand how current conditions on the plant floor can be optimized to improve production output. igwLAB software was designed to help extraction facility operations manage material and information flow. The process of extracting hemp biomass into CBD or CBG oils requires extraction equipment, distillation equipment, and formulations operations to finish goods such as vapor pens or CBD pills. The software includes thirteen unique individual modules that guides operators, quality managers, and laboratory personnel through the production process. The software creates master batch records for each step in the process so that maximum traceability can be achieved and easily reported on.
In this episode of extrakTALKS, Dr. Jon and Randall Thompson discuss all the potential bottlenecks that hemp and botanical processors may face and how the igwLAB has the potential to solve these issues. From the first steps of receiving biomass down to distillation and product formulation, bottlenecks are no more with this extraktLAB solution.
