Cannatrol DC Quick Start Systems

Cannatrol DC Quick Start Systems strives for small batch full-scale production quality. Their fully integrated solutions boast control over drying, curing, and storing cycles with absolute humidity measurement. These systems use relative humidity measurement. Ideal conditions are maintained for quality, yield, and aroma preservation during the entire process.

The level of processing associated with these systems offers effortless operation. They are used by growers who prefer low effort and high uniformity at scale. The systems eliminate manual labor while lowering drying and spoilage risks.

Designed for Yield, Quality, and Simplicity

As with other Cannatrol systems, the DC quick start doesn't use high heat or desiccation. Gentle moisture removal through vapor pressure control is augmented with aroma profile retention.The systems monitor weight as a proxy of moisture loss in real time. Each harvest will be processed to a high standard without needing guess work.These systems complet a full cycle in 8 to 10 days. Each system is designed to cure up to 720 pounds per run. The number of cycles depends on the variety and user settings.

Flexibly Designed and Easy to Assemble  

Canatrols DC Quick Start Kits come with step-by-step intuitive self assembly boxes which require less than a day of work. These systems have modular designs allowing for scaling and additional units to be added which is great for optimizing daily or weekly harvests with minimal delays.  

All kits provide modules with various trays or rack system functionality to best tailor them to busy workflows on hanging systems.  

All systems include:  

• Hygienic food-safe insulation Cam lock 4" paneling with unmatched R value.  

• Back wall Polystyrene Foamed Foamed Panel Insulation Sandwiched panels with high R value.   

• Cooling Coil Vaportrol® patented.  

• Doors and hoods fully locked insulated.  

• Fabric Duct Antimicrobial Air Distribution System.  

• Control management Duct Flow System Air.  

• Sub-humidification and temperature control.  

• Multi programmable touch screen control.  

• Electric heating elements.  

• Cold water powered LED light chillers.  

• Desktop and Mobile remote monitoring.  

Adjustable Touch Screen Control  

Every unit comes equipped with a central core control 7” touch display, which acts as the touch dial and center which controls the whole system.

This configuration allows you to program five separate environmental zones, each with unique setting, temperature drying, and curing designed ramp timings that change conditions over time.

Operators can check statuses or control settings remotely using desktop computers or our smartphone apps available on iOS and Android. Control can be maintained anywhere, whether in the office or in the grow room. 

Everything from the operational phases of the process to extended storage is automated with Vaportrol Driver software. With Vaportrol’s driver software, transitioning between processes is effortless. You are able to shift from the drying phase, to curing, and into holding all without having to relocate the product between various environments. 

The Value of Water Activity Control 

Appropriately defined water activity levels not only enhance the appearance and aroma of a product, they also increase profitability. When drying to a water activity of 0.6 and 0.65, most bound moisture can be retained without the risk of mold forming. This allows for greater quality and weight to be preserved for longer shelf life. 

Data indicates even a slight change in water activity from 0.5 to 0.6 translates to an increase in profit by up to 5.6% due to better yield and consistency. Reduced labor, coupled with the ability to sell a better product for a higher price, makes the ROI crystal clear. 

Designed with Cleanliness, Compliance, Control in Mind 

The System’s capabilities for meeting food-grade standards are enhanced with antimicrobial ducting, sterile humidification systems, and other easily cleanable surfaces.

Cleanability comes hand-in-hand with demanding performance and hygiene standards.

The sealed system prevents outside contaminants from getting in while still providing airflow and temperature circulation. This helps to prevent microbial growth and spoilage due to changes in the environment. 

Final Words

Cannatrol DC Quick Start Systems simultaneously transform large-scale, precision, post-harvest care into an exact science. They turn the procedures of drying, curing, and long-term storage preservation into a precise science that employs real-time water activity monitoring, vapor pressure-based drying, and environmentally controllable settings.  

The system not only simplifies the process, but also improves overall product quality, reduces labor and cost, increases yield, and minimizes operational losses. Designed to scale with growing operations, the system best protects the most valuable assets from every harvest.
