LOS ANGELES — Sorting Robotics, A leading provider of industrial automation solutions for the cannabis industry, is proud to launch Stardust, the world’s first automated kief coating robot. In response to the escalating demand for precision and efficiency in the production of ‘fuzzy’ style joints, blunts, and straight-tube pre-rolls, Stardust is designed and engineered to bring automation and consistency to this specialized segment.
“Stardust is a testament to Sorting Robotics’ commitment to pushing the boundaries of innovation, and providing cutting-edge solutions to meet the evolving needs of the market,” said Nohtal Partansky, Co-Founder & CEO of Sorting Robotics.
Stardust seamlessly processES up to 960 joints per hour to ensure production aligns with consumer demand. Its single-operator design not only streamlines operations, but also minimizes labor costs, combining cutting-edge technology with skilled human oversight.
Stardust caters to all pre-roll sizes, accommodating cones, straight tubes, and blunts. The robot’s broad formulation compatibility is a testament to its adaptability, handling distillate, fully decarbed concentrates, Cigar Glue, and simple water formulations. Offering diverse coating options such as Dry Sift Kief, Bubble Hash, crushed THCa Diamonds, or powdered cannabis, Stardust provides the flexibility needed to cater to every consumer’s unique preference.
