The cannabis industry is embracing innovation, and Ziel is at the forefront with its revolutionary radiofrequency (RF) technology. This technology is changing the way cannabis operators approach decontamination, ensuring both product safety and organic compliance.
Ziel’s RF technology tackles microbial contamination, a serious concern for consumers and operators alike. This non-ionizing solution works at a molecular level by targeting water molecules within the cannabis flower. An electromagnetic field aligns these molecules, creating friction and generating heat. This process, known as volumetric heating, ensures that the entire flower is heated evenly, eliminating microbial risks without compromising the quality of the product.
Imagine cooking a turkey in an oven. The outside might be overcooked while the inside remains underdone. RF technology, however, ensures consistent heating throughout the flower, reaching the target kill temperature of 80°C without scorching the exterior. This uniform heating is essential for complete microbial eradication.
Ziel’s RF technology stands out from traditional methods like X-rays because it doesn’t alter the molecular structure of the cannabis. Unlike ionizing technologies like gamma radiation and X-rays, which can degrade cannabinoids and terpenes, RF preserves the sensory qualities of the product. This makes it an ideal solution for cannabis operators seeking organic certification, as these methods often disqualify products from meeting organic standards.
Furthermore, RF technology is environmentally friendly, using only electricity and requiring no harmful chemicals, gases, or ventilation systems. Its compact and scalable design makes it accessible to operators of all sizes, with a processing capacity of up to five pounds of cannabis flower in just 15 minutes.
For operators seeking organic certification, Ziel’s RF technology provides a clear advantage. It’s non-ionizing, ensuring organic compliance, unlike ionizing methods that don’t meet organic standards. This is particularly crucial in markets like the United States, where USDA Organic certification is a key differentiator for cannabis products.
Ziel’s RF machines also offer significant cost savings. Compared to similar machines using other technologies, Ziel’s machines can process up to five times more cannabis in the same timeframe. This efficiency, coupled with the technology’s ability to prevent product failures, helps operators recover their investment quickly.
Ziel’s commitment to quality and sustainability is evident in its commitment to international standards. The company has secured certifications for its machines in Europe, allowing them to be used in markets like Portugal and Germany, where GMP standards are mandatory.
Ziel’s RF technology is paving the way for a safer, more sustainable, and compliant future for the cannabis industry. By offering a non-ionizing, efficient, and cost-effective solution to microbial contamination, Ziel is empowering operators to produce high-quality, organic cannabis products while minimizing their environmental impact.
