INDUSTRIAL-SCALE HARVESTS INDUSTRIAL-SCALE SOLUTIONS
HEMP & CANNABIS HARVESTING SOLUTIONS
THE GLOBAL CANNABIS MARKET WAS VALUED AT $ 20.5 BILLION USD IN 2020 , AND IS EXPECTED TO SURPASS $ 90 BILLION BY 2028 .
Not only is the industry expanding at an extraordinary rate , but so is the square footage of cannabis operations , with the average grow size nearly doubling between 2016 and 2020 to reach 36,300 square feet . There are two key factors driving the market to new heights , increased acceptance of cannabis and hemp globally coupled with the rising popularity of extract products which require extensive harvests to produce .
The sale of cannabis concentrates in the US soared over 40 % last year , buoyed by innovations that improved consumer accessibility . Extracts enjoyed similar popularity north of the border , with Canadian sales tripling between the first and final quarter of 2020 to hit $ 265 million . As the scale of the industry grows , CenturionPro has developed industrial-scale harvesting solutions to support even the largest operation .
INDUSTRIAL HARVESTING SOLUTIONS
The highest throughput industrial trimmer offered by CenturionPro , the XL 10.0 , can process up to a massive 3,000 lbs of wet product per hour , or 600 lbs dry . By contrast even an experienced hand trimmer will be hard pushed to finish ¼ lb per hour , charging up to $ 225 per lb of finished flower . This means even a micro-cultivator ’ s 175 lb harvest could take ten dedicated team members nearly nine full days to trim , and cost as much as $ 39,375 . This is not only extortionately expensive , but painstakingly slow . Processing product by hand quickly becomes unrealistic as your operation grows into a large-scale commercial operation with industrial scale needs .
Even CenturionPro ’ s standard trimmers offer a feed rate of up to 175 lbs of wet flower per hour ( 35 lbs dry ), for a substantially smaller one-off investment . When growers calculate the rate of return , industry leading harvesting technologies are essential to streamline operations and enhance profitability . The greater the throughput the greater the expenditure saved , with industrial producers turning to industrial harvesting machinery .
