Northern California, October 29, 2024 – As cannabis cultivation continues to expand and evolve, cultivators are facing increasing pressure to scale up efficiently while maintaining consistency and accuracy. High Tek USA, a leader in automated solutions, is answering this demand by leveraging its two decades of experience in food industry production to create specialized equipment tailored to the unique requirements of the cannabis industry.
Bringing Food Industry Best Practices to Cannabis Production
High Tek USA’s President, Jason Sigman, recognized a critical gap in the cannabis market during the wave of legalization in the United States. “Many producers were using equipment that was designed for entirely different industries,” Sigman said. “We saw an opportunity to develop solutions based on food industry best practices, but optimized for cannabis cultivation and processing.”
From trimming to packaging, High Tek USA’s automated solutions cover every stage of the post-harvest process. The company’s suite of products, including the High Tek Mini Weigher, jar indexing lines, pouch machines, and feed systems, work together seamlessly to streamline packaging operations and improve overall efficiency.
Designed with Producers’ Needs in Mind
The High Tek Mini Weigher exemplifies the company’s approach. Created in response to feedback from cannabis producers, this compact and user-friendly machine is specifically designed to accommodate the operational realities of the cannabis industry. “Unlike food producers, many cannabis companies do not have full-time maintenance teams, so we focused on minimizing the complexity of the equipment and simplifying troubleshooting tasks,” Sigman added.
Before shipment, High Tek USA pre-configures each piece of equipment based on the customer’s specific operating environment, branding preferences, and facility requirements. Once delivered, a High Tek team spends up to four days on-site, ensuring customers are fully trained on how to operate, maintain, clean, and adjust their new machines.
A Proven Reputation for Service and Support
High Tek USA’s dedication to service and support sets it apart. As supply chain uncertainties loom, the company has spent the past two years building up inventory to ensure customers receive the parts they need without disruption. Around-the-clock technical support is available to help customers keep operations running smoothly and efficiently.
“Service and support have always been our number-one focus,” said Sigman. “We treat all customers with the same level of commitment, regardless of the size of their business. Our support structure is like no other.”
Efficiency, Accuracy, and Modular Design for Future Growth
Speed and accuracy are paramount in cannabis production, and the High Tek Mini Weigher’s digital control screen allows operators to fine-tune weighing and dispensing with ease. This system can weigh flower and edibles in one- to twenty-eight-gram portions with accuracy within a hundredth of a gram. At peak efficiency, it can perform up to sixty weighs per minute—a significant improvement over manual methods.
Built with modularity the Mini Weigher allows for future upgrades, helping customers scale production as their operations grow. The equipment’s ease of cleaning and zero-adjust features further enhance its reliability and accuracy.
Looking Forward: Adapting to a Growing Market
Despite recent sales challenges, the long-term growth outlook for cannabis remains strong. With predictions of further legalization across multiple states over the next seven years, adaptability and automation will be key to success in this expanding market. High Tek USA’s specialized solutions and unwavering commitment to customer support position it as a leader in helping cannabis producers optimize their operations.
