Extraction Ready

Franklin Miller has experience getting a wide hemp sized for a wide variety of extraction methods including CO2, ethanol, and more. Whether you are looking to extract CBD or other cannabis, our Taskmaster® Shredders can help. Our slow speed Taskmaster® Shredders gently reduce the hemp down to size. This prevents loss and prevents the final oil from have a darker color.

At Franklin Miller we can optimize our size reduction processors to meet the output size requirements of your application.

Wet or Dry Hemp

Our TASKMASTER® Shredders can shred wet or dry hemp with ease, down to a 5/16" particle size. Our versatile shredders can be installed in a plant or in the field in order to facilitate the production of CBD and other hemp extracts.

Because wet hemp applications require a drying process before the oils can be extracted, using a shredder prior to drying can help expedite the process considerably. Shredding renders the hemp into smaller, fast drying particles making the overall process more efficient. The smaller particle size also reduces the risk of build-up inside the dryers, which is a potential fire hazard.

When paired with a DEFINER Knife Mill, Franklin Miller Hemp Size Reduction processors can further process hemp to your specifications.
