Cannabis

Cannabis production, distribution, and consumption has become a booming market over the past 15 or 20 years, and we don’t see that changing soon. Of course, if you’re part of this industry, then you already know how vulnerable the product is to spoilage and deterioration. That’s why we specialize in modern refrigeration and storage equipment, designed to help you preserve expensive cannabis products longer than ever.

The Blast Freezing Option for Cannabis

Blast freezing (or “flash freezing”) has become the preferred method for harvesting and preserving cannabis, particularly among outdoor growers. It’s the most dependable way to harvest, refrigerate, and then transport the product fast, minimizing the risk of reduced yield. Nowadays, this has many commercial applications.

Three Important Cannabis Freezing Considerations

1. Always Seek to Minimize Condensation - Cannabis is just like other produce (like tobacco) in that you must keep it as moist as possible prior to freezing. If you do this, AND utilize blast freezing, it offers you the greatest chance to avoid ice crystallization, which ultimately harms the product.
2. Don’t Freeze & Thaw Over and Over Again - It’s best to only thaw cannabis once it would be ready for marketing or consumption. Repeated thawing and refreezing would contribute to substantial product downgrade.
3. Stay Organized - While blast freezing should significantly extend its shelf life, cannabis doesn’t last forever. That’s why it’s important to label things well, being sure to indicate the freezer date to eliminate confusion if you mix items from different harvest dates.
