CBD Yield Calculator – Hemp Extraction of Biomass to Isolate

The Significance of Hemp Biomass CBD Yield

Yield is the unit of measurement used to decide the amount of hemp grown and any product that results from extraction of hemp biomass. Yield is correlated with overall return, so it is crucial to fully understand the yield you can expect during any particular extraction operation.

Having an educated estimate of your biomass yield can positively influence your plans for the grow/harvest season, expense planning, potential processing output and potential CBD product formulation and profitability. The basic principle is that the more CBD crude can be produced from an extraction, the higher your yield will be as a result. From there, distillation and isolation further refine the CBD product formulations and raise the overall profitability of the yield altogether.

This calculator will provide you with yields for each of these in process materials. This includes crude, winterized oil, distillate, and isolate – all of which are products that can be sold business to business or business to consumer. Knowing your potential yield for any of these products will help you to prioritize your grow, harvest and processing and tailor it to the right customer for your operation.

Botanical Extract Compound Value

Of course, hemp and botanical extraction is done primarily for the purpose of obtaining cannabinoids like CBD for product formulation. While there are other plant compounds that are present in the hemp plant, cannabinoids are sought after for their high market value and effectiveness in products like tinctures, topicals and edible products. Other plant components found in the hemp plant include fats, waxes, chlorophyll, and others that may decrease the potency of CBD crude affecting the overall yield and value of the product. This is why further refinement is necessary to make the most of your CBD yield including dewaxing, filtration, solvent removal, distillation and isolation. By doing this, your CBD yield is optimized for product formulations that are profitable in the booming hemp and botanical market today.

Other Factors Affecting Hemp Biomass Yield

In other cases yield can be affected by the equipment you use and the efficiency of the hemp processing method. CO2 extraction, ethanol extraction, and closed loop hydrocarbon extraction system yields have a range of variables, including the solute power of the extraction solvent and the experience of the extraction machine operator. Using equipment like the extraktLAB fracTron industrial scale solvent recovery unit, and clearSTILL 2 stage wiped film evaporator you simply put in your input and there is little room for error with automated programs and methods, which will minimize and can eliminate user error.

Without automated extraction and distillation equipment like the fracTron, clearSTILL and supercritical CO2 extractors, biomass yield can be significantly reduced compared to less refined equipment. For that reason, we find it vital to use the highest quality equipment possible to ensure your overall biomass CBD yield is optimized to the fullest extent. If you are interested in adding the optimal equipment to your extraction operation that will undoubtedly increase your CBD yield overall, we are here to help.
