XRPure announced its latest creation: the XR16, which it said is capable of eliminating mold, bacteria, mildew and other harmful pathogens three times faster than other systems on the market, all while preserving the cannabis flower's cannabinoids, terpenes, and other critical attributes.
The company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Varex Imaging Corporation, an independent supplier of medical X-ray tubes and image processing solutions whose history dates back to the 1930s. XRPure develops and produces its technology in the same Las Vegas factory as its parent company Varex.
XRPure made its market debut last year with the release of its first decontamination system, the XR12, which is ideal for lower-volume operations. With the company’s latest release in the form of the XR16, large-scale cultivators growing more than 500 pounds per month or more will now also be able to use the team’s innovations.
How the XR16 Uses X-ray Tech to Clean Cannabis
Unlike traditional chemical or heat-based decontamination methods, the XR16 uses X-ray technology to fully penetrate the cannabis flower, breaking down microbial DNA and rendering them inert. By using a cold process that doesn’t affect the chemical properties of the plant, cultivators can now treat their flower post-harvest, before or after packaging, to achieve dramatic – if not total - microbial reduction. This approach boosts the safety of products for both adult-use consumers and medical patients, while helping cultivators reduce costs associated with crop loss and product recalls.
Who Can Use the XR16
The XR16 is designed for large-scale operations, with a throughput 33% faster than XRPure’s previous XR12 model. The machine can process 15-20 pounds of dried cannabis in 90 minutes, equating to 75-100 pounds in an 8-hour shift, or 300 pounds in 24 hours.
Ordering the XR16
The XR16 is now available for purchase and can be shipped to licensed cannabis markets across the U.S. (subject to state regulations). XRPure offers financing and leasing options to support growers of all sizes in making this vital upgrade to their operations. The company’s website also offers a Savings Calculator that growers can use to determine their potential ROI when purchasing an XRPure system.
