1. Why is equipment selection so critical in cannabis processing?
The right equipment ensures regulatory compliance, efficient workflow, and consistent product quality. Poor equipment choices can lead to downtime, failed inspections, or costly retrofits.
2. What types of equipment does Root Sciences help source?
We provide sourcing for a full range of cannabis and hemp processing equipment—including extraction, distillation, filtration, chilling, drying, packaging, and compliance-ready support systems.
3. Can you help if we’ve already purchased some equipment?
Yes! We often work with clients to integrate existing equipment into their new facility layout or process design while filling in any gaps with additional components.
4. How do you ensure the equipment meets local and international regulations?
We stay up to date with regional cannabis regulations and industry codes, and we only source equipment that meets GMP, UL, CE, or other required certifications based on your location and market goals.
5. Do you assist with utility planning (e.g., HVAC, electrical, plumbing)?
Absolutely. Our team develops equipment layouts that factor in utility needs and ensures integration with your facility’s infrastructure—including HVAC zoning, load requirements, and plumbing schematics.
6. How long does the equipment selection process take?
Timelines vary based on project size, but initial assessments and recommendations can be delivered within a few weeks. Full sourcing and layout coordination is typically done alongside your pre-construction timeline.
7. Can you work with international clients?
Yes! Root Sciences has supported cannabis processing projects in over 20 countries. We understand the complexities of importing, exporting, and designing for various regulatory environments.
