Abstract
A method and system for manufacturing dosing capsules made of a cannabis-derived resin using a mold system, including using a dispensing plate having one or more reservoirs for holding a cannabis-derived resin powder, a first mold plate having one or more cavities corresponding to one or more reservoirs in the dispensing plate, and a second mold plate having one or more protrusions corresponding to one or more cavities in the first mold plate.
Claims15
A method of manufacturing dosing capsules from cannabis-derived resin using a mold system, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a dispensing plate having one or more reservoirs for holding a cannabis-derived resin;
- providing a first mold plate having one or more cavities defined by walls corresponding to one or more reservoirs of the dispensing plate;
- providing a second mold plate having one or more protrusions corresponding to one or more cavities of the first mold plate;
- depositing into the reservoirs of the dispensing plate a first cannabis-derived resin in powder form;
- heating the first cannabis-derived resin such that the first cannabis-derived resin powder melts to become liquid;
- placing the first mold plate over the dispensing plate so that at least one reservoir of the dispensing plate registers with at least one cavity in the first mold plate;
- securing the first mold plate to the dispensing plate and rotating the dispensing plate and first mold plate, and transferring the liquid first cannabis-derived resin from the reservoirs of the dispensing plate into the cavities of the first mold plate;
- separating the dispensing plate from the first mold plate;
- placing the second mold plate, containing at least one protrusion that corresponds with at least one cavity of the first mold plate, on top of the first mold plate such that the liquid first cannabis-derived resin is pressed by the protrusion to a wall of the cavity of the first mold plate;
- allowing the first cannabis-derived resin to cool into a hardened shell;
- removing the second mold plate from the first mold plate;
- filling the hardened shell in the first mold plate with an inner material;
- and
- dispensing a second cannabis-derived resin over the hardened shell and inner material to seal the inner material within the hardened shell.
A dosing capsule having a shell made of a cannabis-derived resin formed by:
- providing a dispensing plate having one or more reservoirs for holding a cannabis-derived resin;
- providing a first mold plate having one or more cavities defined by walls corresponding to one or more reservoirs of the dispensing plate;
- providing a second mold plate having one or more protrusions corresponding to one or more cavities of the first mold plate;
- depositing into the reservoirs of the dispensing plate a first cannabis-derived resin in powder form;
- heating the first cannabis-derived resin such that the first cannabis-derived resin powder melts to become liquid;
- placing the first mold plate over the dispensing plate so that at least one reservoir of the dispensing plate registers with at least one cavity of the first mold plate;
- securing the first mold plate to the dispensing plate and rotating the dispensing plate and first mold plate, and transferring the liquid first cannabis-derived resin from the reservoirs of the dispensing plate into the cavities of the first mold plate;
- separating the dispensing plate from the first mold plate;
- placing the second mold plate, containing at least one protrusion that corresponds with at least one cavity of the first mold plate, on top of the first mold plate such that the liquid first cannabis-derived resin is pressed by the protrusion to a wall of the cavity of the first mold plate;
- allowing the first cannabis-derived resin to cool into a hardened shell;
- removing the second mold plate from the first mold plate;
- filling the hardened shell in the first mold plate with an inner material;
- and
- dispensing a second cannabis-derived resin over the hardened shell and inner material to seal the inner material within the hardened shell.
A mold for manufacturing a dosing capsule from a cannabis-derived resin comprising:
- a first mold block;
- a cavity formed within the first mold block;
- a reservoir surrounding the cavity;
- and
- a generally flat wall surrounding the cavity and separating the cavity from the reservoir.
