After successful testing at Herbolea’s Florence facility in Q1 2020, the first GMP eligible Bio-Herbolysis™ processing plant has been delivered to Medcolcanna’s facility in Cota, Colombia. This milestone marks the delivery of the first industrial scale Bio-Herbolysis™ processing equipment for the cannabis industry, and Herbolea’s first foray into the Colombian market.
Upon installation and commissioning by the Herbolea team, Medcolcanna will be able to process its cannabis in a highly efficient and cost-effective manner to obtain true full spectrum cannabis oils; leveraging Bio-Herbolysis™’ high-quality, solvent-less extraction, as well as its capacity to process freshly harvested material, which allows for the preservation of cannabinoids and volatile terpenes in full acidic form.
In addition to processing its own biomass, Mecolcanna will use the equipment to deliver GMP-certified third-party processing services to other cannabis producers in the region, in order to supply the Colombian market with high quality cannabis extracts.
With its current configuration, the Bio Herbolysis™ plant has the capacity to process 100Kg of dry biomass in a five our shift, and can easily be upgraded to process 100Kg of dry biomass per hour on a semi-continuous basis with additional equipment.
