SAN FRANCISCO, April 3, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Ziel,
creators of proprietary process solutions for the agricultural and
cannabis industries, has been awarded the first ever patent (U.S.
Patent No 10,517,308) by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for
processes that include the treatment of cannabis using radio
frequency technology for microbial reduction. APEX, offered by
Ziel, uses radio frequency technology combined with their patented
process solutions to reduce microbial pathogens while retaining
product sensory qualities, including potency and terpenes in
cannabis. APEX is trusted by some of the largest U.S. cultivators
in Colorado, Nevada, and Michigan as well as in countries such as
Canada, Portugal and Germany.
"We are honored to be awarded the first ever patent by the U.S.
Patent and Trademark Office for processes that include cannabis
remediation treatment using radio frequency," says Arthur de Cordova, Managing Director of Ziel.
"Our mission is to provide the most innovative, turnkey solutions
for agribusiness and cannabis cultivators so they can focus on
growing their business and delivering safe, high-quality products
to their customers."
Radio Frequency is a chemical-free process, and the non-ionizing
radiation allows its use in organic operations. APEX equipment
operates using radio frequency to reverse the polarity of naturally
occurring water molecules in agricultural products, including
cannabis flower. Water molecules oscillate 27 million times per
second, generating consistent even volumetric heat that kills
pathogens based on Ziel's proprietary processing parameters. APEX
products can process 20 lbs of cannabis in less than 15 minutes and
can scale up to 2,000 lbs of agricultural products per hour.
Some of the largest cannabis cultivators in the industry have
integrated APEX into their operations including Los Sueños Farms in
Colorado, the largest outdoor
cannabis farm in the U.S., and several of the largest Canadian LPs,
including Tilray and The Green Organic Dutchman.
Ziel's patent has also been allowed by the Canadian Intellectual
Property Office which expects to issue the patent in the coming
weeks.
