Delivering advanced automation solutions that merge precision
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Low Heat Grinding Built for Product Quality & Consistency
The Terp Preserve Grinder is the leading cannabis grinder available in both the high-capacity PSC-10 and the compact PSC-8 models, supporting different facility sizes, production needs, and output goals while delivering a clean, homogenized grind at scale.
By using a low-heat sifting method, it separates stems without degrading delicate terpenes or cannabinoids. The result is a homogenized, consistent grind that maximizes aroma, potency, and flavor.

Scaling Automation that Works for Cannabis Processing
“Game-changer”
“It’s been an absolute game-changer. The grinder runs at a slow speed and low temperature, which makes a huge difference. It used to take us 45 minutes to grind a 5-pound batch. Now, we’ve brought that down to a maximum of 7 minutes.”
“One of the best parts about Hefestus is their customer service. You don’t have to worry about being left hanging, they’ll call you back, and you’ll talk to a real person. If you need a part, there’s no real downtime because they include a full toolbox of spares. And if something else comes up, they’ll overnight it to you.”
“Onboarding was extremely simple. Hefestus reached out, gave us an ETA of when the machine would arrive, and shortly thereafter when their team would arrive to onboard. By the end of the first day, my team was running hands off.”
“I was at a friend’s facility and saw the Hefestus machine in operation. I was impressed with the efficiency, the minimal labor required, and the consistency: every joint coming out the same. That got my attention.”
“It took about four people, five days a week, to roll anywhere between 8,000 and 10,000 joints. Now, with the Hefestus, we can roll that amount with one person in about a day.”
