Whistler Technologies brings together cannabis culture, innovative design, groundbreaking research, and engineering excellence to create a new generation of solventless extraction equipment.
We are the first company to offer automated, closed loop, and pharmaceutical grade equipment for the ice water extraction process; an economically and environmentally friendly alternative process to traditional extraction methods for the removal of glandular trichomes from a variety of plants including: Cannabis Sativa (High THC/Marijuana or High CBD/Hemp) and Humulus Lupulus (Hops).
We design, procure, and install turnkey solventless processing systems with all the equipment necessary to go from biomass to a final product in a matter of a few days.
Our team of engineers and hash experts will install and commission our technology in your facility and train staff on its operation. We provide a full suite of regulatory assistance, starting with a set of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and regulatory documentation for every piece of equipment with additional GMP compliance services for Installation Qualification (IQ) and Operational Qualification (OQ).
We strive to create equipment to the highest quality and sanitary standards. All of our equipment is designed according to guidelines for pharmaceutical process equipment and some of our systems can even run a Clean-in-Place (CIP) cycle without any additional equipment.
Quality
Every piece of equipment we design is proudly manufactured in Canada and the US, to the highest quality standards. We only specify components with the highest available IP ratings, food grade certified components, fully stainless steel gearbox and motors, and watertight certified connectors.
Additionally, our equipment utilizes stainless steel 316 for wetted components and stainless steel 304 for non-wetted components. We offer up to 32 Ra Max or better, through mechanical or electrochemical polishing methods.
Where possible, equipment design is guided by the ASME BPE with no expenses spared to ensure that none of the equipment our partners receive are of inferior quality.
All of our equipment is designed and manufactured to the most strict quality. We set this above all, and always deliver sanitary, compliant equipment for your solventless labs. The entire fleet of systems can be GMP compliant and/or customized to meet your needs. You can rely on our quality equipment and be sure to be running optimally at your daily capacities. After all, quality equipment produces quality products.
Whistler Technologies is the first company to produce a closed loop, continuous, and sanitary ice water trichome isolation system. Our innovative technology combines modern pharmaceutical process design, years of in-house research, and 30+ years of bubble hash production experience to create the world’s most advanced hash production equipment. All of our systems are modular with agitation tanks to remove trichomes from biomass, and separation systems to remove the trichomes from the water. These modules can be used separately and adapted to compliment equipment from other suppliers. We can help you improve the efficiency and profitability of solventless extraction. Let’s hash it out!
The WT-Craft is our smallest system and can meet the production needs of small producers or serve as a pilot/research system for larger companies. With a 150L agitation tank, this system can process up to 12kg of fresh frozen or 4kg of dry biomass per run. Featuring an integrated electrical system with a single 240V (1ph) plug and play design, this system is a flexible, reliable, portable, and efficient system for producers of any size. The WT-Craft is made to sanitary standards for medical cannabis production in Canada and the US, and comes with a basic regulatory package. The WT-Lab employs the same basic design as the WT-Craft, but with certain upgrades and a validation package required for cGMP compliance.
With the WT-Craft being our smallest model we decided to piece this to make it easier to step into a automated system. We provide the WT-Craft agitation skid, a 150L agitation tank, this system can process up to 12kg of fresh frozen or 4kg of dry biomass per run. Featuring an integrated electrical system with a single 240V (1ph) plug and play design. The WT-Craft also boasts a pivot-able “easy pour spout” for emptying the agitator, and our patented “torus” agitation pattern.
When you are ready in your operations to move into automatic separation, our WT-Craft Separator can be added into this unit seamlessly.
Our WT-Craft Separator was designed to be a direct plug into our WT-Craft Agitator to make a fully automated hash system. This allows you to upgrade as you go. Adding automatic separation further increases your daily capacity and efficiencies.
Our Separator comes equipped with mesh stainless steel screen and a hash collection unit. We also utilize a “fake bucket” for easy hash collection onto freeze dry trays.
The WT-Craft Separator is the perfect upgrade for any smaller hash operation.
The WT-300 is designed for maximum production in a small space. This machine is an efficient “workhorse” which will allow you to produce large quantities of cannabis extracts in almost any facility. This system has a 300L agitation tank and can process up to 24 kg of fresh frozen or 8 kg of dry biomass per run. Designed to fit through a regular 32” doorway, this system is easy to move into almost any space, including a mobile lab, while having an impressive capacity. With the ability to add additional agitation tanks, this system can scale up quickly as your processing business grows.
The WT-2000 is our “farm” scale system, designed for large cannabis, hemp, or hops processors looking to isolate trichomes from fresh or dry biomass. This system is capable of processing up to 160kg of fresh frozen or 53 kg of dry biomass per run. Our WT-2000 is a large factory style system that requires large bay doors and high ceilings for installation and operation. This system uses an innovative built-in CIP system which allows full cleaning of the system without any additional skid. The WT-2000 has optional automation upgrades for the automatic removal of spent biomass and automatic valve actuation.
After isolation from plant matter, the trichomes can be processed in a variety of methods. They can be air dried or lyophilized (freeze dried) for hash and then pressed into rosin. Alternatively, we can process fresh bubble hash into edible oil using our TERP Reactor. Our innovative Terpene EnRichment Process (TERP) infuses fresh bubble hash directly into an edible carrier, creating a terpene-rich decarboxylated edible oil without the need for drying. This process captures the terpenes which would have otherwise been lost in the conventional drying, extraction, and decarboxylation practices used today. Using hash from fresh-frozen cannabis, this process can create edible extracts with higher terpene contents than dried cannabis of the same strain. We call the resultant oil Beyond Full Spectrum(™) because it is unlike anything seen in the market before it. When coupled with our ice water extraction, the entire process of turning biomass into an edible oil uses only water, ice, and the carrier oil of your choice. This makes the process sustainable, cost effective, and organic, while producing the best possible product.
The TR-50 has a capacity of 8-12kg of fresh resin, or 4-6kg of dry resin. This will produce 40+ litres of oil.

The TR-200 is a larger scaled piece of equipment aimed at helping our WT2000. The TR-200 has a capacity of 32-48kg of fresh resin or 16-24kg of dry resin. Expect 180+ litres of oil from this system per run.
