Lets Shred: How Futurola Shredder Machines Stack Up To The Market

The industry is booming and with that, the demand for better, more efficient ways to process cannabis has never been higher. The need to deliver a consistent smoking experience for pre-rolls that are mostly being produced using automatic pre-roll machines means that the herb grinders and shredders have to be used for the perfect consistency every time. A manual shredding process cannot achieve this.

Using machinery such as industrial grade shredders will help not just with the consistency and the quality but the scale is an important consideration too. You need a lot of products out in the market to earn the bucks that you are working hard for. Achieving scale is only possible using automated processes.

Shredders are one such way to make processing large quantities of herbs much easier and faster. Shredders and grinders are also important not just for pre-roll production. It is also an essential step to prepare the flower for use in vapes, edibles, and vaporizers. In this blog post, we will compare some of the popular herb shredders in the market and talk about how the Futurola shredders stack up against some of these shredders. Read on.

 

 

Why are Automatic Shredders Critical?

Herb processors and dispensaries know that shredders are critical to their operations. The right shredder can mean the difference between a high-quality product and one that is full of stems and other unwanted materials. It can also mean the difference between a high-quality pre-mix and one which does not have the terpenes and trichomes intact which means a lower-quality product at the end of the day.

There are several reasons why automatic shredders are so critical in cannabis processing:

1. They help to ensure consistent product quality by ensuring a fine grind.

2. They reduce the amount of time needed to process cannabis material.

3. They minimize wastage by reducing the amount of stems and other unwanted materials in the final product. High-tech shredders and grinders come equipped with sifters and high-torque motors that make the process easy and smooth and also reduce wastage.

4. They improve quality by retaining essential cannabinoids and trichomes in the herb during the shredding or grinding process.
