Abstract
Various embodiments herein relate to machinery for forming smoking articles of cannabis compositions. In at least one embodiment, there is provided a system for alcohol-based lubrication for pre-roll machinery comprising: a reservoir tank for retaining lubricant fluid; a tube conduit having a first end fluidically coupled to the reservoir tank and an open second end; and a modified pre-roll member having a fluid-receiving opening coupled to the second tube end, the modified pre-roll member further comprising a bottom contact surface including one or more fluid exit openings coupled to the fluid-receiving opening.
Claims20
A system for alcohol-based lubrication for pre-roll machinery comprising:
- a reservoir tank for retaining lubricant fluid;
- a tube conduit having a first end fluidically coupled to the reservoir tank and an open second end;
- and
- a modified pre-roll member having a fluid-receiving opening coupled to the second tube end, the modified pre-roll member further comprising a bottom contact surface including one or more fluid exit openings coupled to the fluid-receiving opening.
A system for forming a cannabis smoking article, the system comprising:
- a conveyance system configured to convey a cannabis composition from a repository and deposit the cannabis composition on a rolling medium;
- one or more rotatable disks configured to control a dispersion of the cannabis composition on the rolling medium;
- one or more rolling members configured to roll the rolling medium around the cannabis composition and form the smoking article, the one or more rolling members including a modified pre-roll member comprising a fluid receiving opening for receiving a lubricant from a reservoir tank and one or more liquid exit openings fluidly coupled to the fluid-receiving opening and configured to deliver the lubricant to the cannabis composition.
A system for forming a cannabis smoking article, the system comprising:
- a conveyance system configured to convey a cannabis composition from a repository and deposit the cannabis composition on a rolling medium;
- one or more modified rotatable disks configured to control a dispersion of the cannabis composition on the rolling medium;
- a reservoir tank for retaining lubricant fluid;
- and
- a tube conduit having a first end fluidically coupled to the reservoir tank and an open second end coupled to the modified rotatable disk.
A method for alcohol-based lubrication for pre-roll machinery comprising:
- determining a drip rate based on one or more drip rate adjusting factors;
- adjusting a valve mechanism to apply the drip rate;
- applying the alcohol-based lubrication via a modified pre-roll member, wherein the modified pre-roll member has a fluid-receiving opening coupled to a second tube end of a tube conduit, the modified pre-roll member further comprising a bottom contact surface including one or more fluid exit openings coupled to the fluid-receiving opening and used for extruding the alcohol-based lubricant,
- wherein the tube conduit has a first end fluidically coupled to a reservoir tank for retaining the lubricant fluid, and
- the valve is positioned along the tube conduit, and is controllable to adjust the drip rate of the lubricant fluid through the modified pre-roll member.
