Stick & Seed Separation System

A sifting and air-separation line that sorts dried botanical biomass into three clean fractions – flower and leaf, stalk, and seed – ready for extraction or sale.

Description

The Stick & Seed Separation System cleans up dried botanical biomass after harvest, sorting a mixed input into three clean fractions. Material is fed onto a wide vibrating sifter, then sorted by size and weight with the help of an air cyclone, so the valuable flower and leaf is separated from the woody stalk and the seed. The result is a clean, graded product stream ready for extraction or sale, with far less hand-sorting.

The output

Three clean fractions

Fraction 1Flower & leafThe valuable, active-rich material, separated for extraction.
Fraction 2StalkWoody sticks sorted out as a clean by-product.
Fraction 3SeedWhole seed recovered separately for sale or replanting.

How it works

Sift, then sort by air

Dried biomass is carried in by the feeding conveyor and spread across a wide vibrating sifter bed. As it travels, the sieve grades the material by size while an air cyclone uses controlled airflow to lift the lighter flower and leaf away from heavier stalk and seed, splitting the input into three distinct streams.

A frequency-converter control sets the conveyor and sifter speeds, and the airflow temperature can be adjusted across 0-90 °C to suit the material. By automating what is otherwise slow hand-sorting, the system delivers consistent, clean fractions and frees the valuable flower and leaf for the extraction line.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

It sorts dried biomass into three fractions: the valuable flower and leaf, the woody stalk, and the seed.

A wide vibrating sifter grades by size while an air cyclone uses airflow to lift lighter flower and leaf away from heavier stalk and seed.

Removing stalk and seed concentrates the active-rich flower and leaf, so the extraction line runs on cleaner, higher-value input.

Yes. A frequency-converter control sets the conveyor and sifter speeds, and the airflow temperature is adjustable from 0 to 90 °C.
