• Perform daily setup, calibration, and shutdown of extraction and distillation systems, verifying temperature, pressure, and vacuum parameters before and during runs.
• Operate the cannabis milling machine to grind flower or biomass to precise particle size specifications for extraction readiness; ensure cleanliness and cross-contamination control between runs.
• Monitor extraction cycles, solvent recovery rates, and distillation fractions to ensure optimal yield and purity.
• Adjust process variables (heat, vacuum, agitation, or flow rate) in response to live system readings and quality checkpoints.
• Conduct post-run cleaning and preventive maintenance on extraction, milling, and distillation systems following equipment-specific sanitation procedures.
• Accurately record process data including batch numbers, system parameters, yields, and solvent usage in designated logs or ERP software.
• Support solvent recovery and safe handling of volatile materials in compliance with fire and chemical safety protocols.
• Conduct in-process quality checks to verify product clarity, potency, and moisture content.
