Sorting Robotics, co-founded by ex-NASA-JPL engineers and known for introducing the first automated pre-roll infusion machine, has launched AuraOne – a cutting-edge robot designed to produce over 1,000 pre-rolled joints per hour.
In an exclusive interview with Benzinga Cannabis, CEO Nohtal Partansky talks about its seamless integration with production lines, automating preroll and blunt manufacturing with added flexibility and efficiency.
“The AuraOne is a response to the realities of the cannabis market. 98% of companies do not need to produce 50,000 prerolls/day so they don’t need a machine that costs almost $500k,” Partansky said.
AuraOne’s design, in collaboration with pre-roller manufacturer Hefestus, boasts a highly variable blunt tube holding/feeding system, a simultaneous pack-and-vibration filling method with a patented cone folding system.
“When we started working with Hefestus to become their North American distributor we helped them design the AuraOne to become the “highly flexible” version of the Aura2000. The AuraOne has three features that make it perfect for blunts. The first is the highly variable blunt tube holding/feeding system, plus a simultaneous pack and vibration approach to filling the tubes, while it also allows the utilization of the patented cone folding system to pack the end of the blunt which makes it so that flower never falls out of an open-ended blunt tube,” Partansky explained.
“The trends in cannabis are continuously evolving so buying a single machine that does a single form factor puts producers in a serious predicament because they can’t adapt or compete effectively,” he continued. “The AuraOne is priced so that it is within reach of everyone in the industry in this difficult financial market.”
