Abstract

A pasteurization unit and process for pasteurization of products such as cannabis and hemp.

IPC Classes  ?

• A24B 15/18 - Treatment of tobacco products or tobacco substitutes
• A23L 3/16 - Preservation of foods or foodstuffs, in general, e.g. pasteurising, sterilising, specially adapted for foods or foodstuffs by heating loose unpacked materials

Abstract

Systems and methods of aseptic processing of product can include a hopper for introduction of the product into the system and one or more components through which the product flows as it is processed through the system, an enclosure surrounding one more of the components, a gassing assembly comprising a plurality of gassing elements for maintaining a substantially constant flow of inert gas over the product as it travels through the components of the system, and filtered gas recirculation system that recirculates filtered air or gas through the enclosure. Such systems can be particularly advantageous for use in the cannabis industry.

Abstract

A sterilization unit for sterilizing a product can include a body having an internal volume for receiving the product to be sterilized, and comprising at least one opening through which product can be introduced and/or withdrawn from the internal volume; a gas inlet in fluid communication with the internal volume for introducing one or more of an inert gas and a sterilizing gas into the internal volume during sterilization; a screen disposed in the gas inlet through which the one or more of the inert gas and the sterilizing gas must pass before entering into the internal volume; and a pressure release valve. The body can be capable of being pressurized to a pressure of 10 atm or more.
