What is the step prior to freeze-drying<\/strong> is one of the most common questions when starting to work with cannabis, hash, or wet extractions. Before starting the cycle in the freeze-drying machine<\/a>, the material must be properly prepared and frozen so that moisture can later be removed through vacuum and sublimation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the case of cannabis, this prior step does not just consist of putting the flower or extraction on a tray. It is necessary to check<\/strong> the material, remove unnecessary debris<\/strong>, distribute it<\/strong> evenly, and avoid overly compact loads. If this preparation is done poorly, the freeze-drying may be less homogeneous and affect the final texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is why, before using a freeze-dryer, it is advisable to understand how the material should arrive at the process. Good initial preparation helps the cold, vacuum, and sublimation work more stably, especially when seeking to better preserve the structure of the flower, hash<\/a>, or ice-o-lator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
