Charts the journey of cone manufacturing from early hand‑rolled cones to today’s high‑volume automated systems. It highlights how automation improves consistency, reduces labor and allows manufacturers to scale.
Key sections to cover:
-
Historical perspective: Early hand‑rolled cones and the labor‑intensive process that dominated the market before the 2010s.
-
Rise of automation: Discuss modern pre‑roll machines capable of producing hundreds or even thousands of cones per hour; the Hefestus AuraX produces over 2,000 pre‑rolls per hour and can handle cones, blunts and infused productscannatechtoday.com, while mid‑range machines like the PreRoll‑Er 200 produce ~1,300 per hour with built‑in weight checks and reject stationscannatechtoday.com.
-
Precision and quality: Explain how automated systems offer ±0.01 g weight precisioncannatechtoday.com and incorporate sensors or weight checkers to ensure every cone burns uniformly, eliminating variability common in hand‑rolled products.
Implications for manufacturers and consumers: Connect the adoption of automation to reduced product costs and improved smoking experiences.
