High-Grade

Speed in producing pre-rolls is foremost at High Grade of Phoenix to roll up a vast amount of premium-grade flower.

High Grade produces premium-grade flower and extracts, ensuring environmental controls are set to optimal levels in a manner that produces only the cleanest, most potent, terpene-rich cannabis in all its forms.

“It’s given us a more cost-effective option to automate a product sku that is extremely labor intensive and inefficient to produce,” said Jessica Ragel, Director of Operations.  “The Aura 2000 has helped us meet demand needs and sustain stock on the shelf.

High Grade began using the pre roll machine last June.

“The service was great, and this team is extremely friendly. They do their best to set their clients up for success,” Ragel said. “They also take feedback well, which is nice as a purchaser of their equipment. They want to know how to improve.”

The results have been dramatic.

“We have been able to reduce the time it takes to produce pre-rolls by about 70%.and overall, that reduces the cost to produce,” Ragel said.
