Used Continuous-Flow Liquid Nitrogen Cryogenic Biomass Processing Tumbler – Trichome & Kief Separation System

Manufacturer Information

Manufacturer: Not Specified

This specialized continuous-flow processing system combines liquid nitrogen cryogenic treatment, rotary screening, material agitation, and automated product collection within a refrigerated trailer. The system is designed to flash-freeze and embrittle suitable biomass before mechanical separation of fine particulate material from the remaining plant material.

Description

Available for sale is a used continuous-flow liquid nitrogen processing tumbler system designed for cryogenic biomass processing and mechanical particulate separation.

The process begins with an inclined feed auger and hopper that continuously introduces material into the system. Liquid nitrogen (LN₂) is applied to rapidly cool and embrittle the biomass before it enters the rotary separation stage. This cryogenic treatment assists with the subsequent mechanical release and separation of suitable particulate material.

The conditioned biomass enters a cylindrical rotary separation tumbler featuring interchangeable mesh screens, internal helical conveying members, and mixing bars. As the chamber rotates, material is agitated and advanced through the tumbler while separated particulate passes through the selected mesh screen.

Screened product falls into an enclosed collection vessel and is removed by dedicated collection augers. The remaining plant material continues through the system to a separate waste chamber and discharge auger, supporting continuous material flow and separation.

The complete system is housed inside a refrigerated trailer and incorporates the feed system, liquid nitrogen application equipment, rotary tumbler, replaceable screening, collection equipment, waste handling, and electric drives.

This integrated design is particularly applicable to licensed cannabis and hemp processing operations, including trichome separation and live-resin-style kief production where legally permitted.

Frequently Asked Questions

• How does the system use liquid nitrogen? LN₂ is applied to rapidly cool and embrittle suitable biomass before mechanical processing, facilitating separation during the subsequent rotary-screening stage.
• How does the rotary tumbler separate material? Internal mixing bars and helical conveying components agitate and advance material while fine particulate passes through the installed interchangeable mesh screen.
• How is the separated product collected? Material passing through the screen enters an enclosed collection vessel and is subsequently discharged using collection augers.
• What happens to the remaining biomass? Material retained by the screening process continues to a separate waste chamber and is removed through a dedicated discharge auger.
• Is the processing equipment enclosed? Yes. The system is housed within a refrigerated trailer, creating an integrated mobile or relocatable processing package.
• Can Aaron Equipment assist with shipping and logistics? Yes. Aaron Equipment can assist with transportation coordination, loading requirements, domestic freight, and logistics planning for trailer-mounted processing systems and associated industrial equipment.
