XRpure's Trailer-Mounted Solution Provides Decontamination-as-a-Service to Small Growers

The proof-of-concept is being piloted in New York state.

XRpure specializes in cannabis decontamination. The company's flagship system, the XR16, and the smaller XR12, is designed for smaller cannabis operations, providing safe cold-process X-ray decontamination.

While the technology provides a quick ROI, treating 15-20 pounds in about 90 minutes, the systems were still too great a capital expense for some smaller mom-and-pop operators. So, according to Jeff Adams, managing director at XRpure, he mounted a system on a trailer to offer a mobile solution: decontamination-as-a-service (DaaS).

The proof-of-concept is being piloted in New York state, and Adams said demand remains high. The process is straightforward: XRpure drives the trailer to an operator, trains employees on how to operate it (since XRpure isn't licensed to handle the product in the state), and the operator pays a fee based on the amount of product processed.

XRpure continues to push the technological envelope. Before the company launched its 12kw and 16kw systems, Adams said state-of-the-art systems in the industry typically hovered around 6kw, which means XRpure's tech can decontaminate 1.5 to 3 times faster.

Next, the company is eyeing international expansion, with machines recently shipped to Canada and Europe, the latter offering a significant opportunity as an emerging market, according to Adams.
