900 Pre-Rolls Per Hour? Upgrade From Manual To Automatic Speeds Up Joint Production, Enhances Margins

As pre-rolls continue to dominate the cannabis market, companies are searching for strategies to enhance margins in an increasingly competitive landscape. RollPros' latest upgrade to the Blackbird machine, which now produces up to 900 pre-rolled cannabis joints per hour, presents a compelling solution.

This improvement boosts production capacity and enhances the precision of pre-roll weights—a critical factor in optimizing cost structures and maintaining quality amidst growing market demands.

Good Is Never Good Enough

"The Superspeed upgrade is a major overhaul of several key components, both hardware and software. The impact is that the machine runs faster, produces more accurate weights, and requires less operator oversight. Good is never good enough,” said Jonathan McFarlane, VP of sales & marketing at RollPros on the impact of upgrades.

“The Blackbird was designed to be modular, so whenever we do release an upgrade or improvement of some kind it's not just limited to new machines; virtually all upgrades are backward compatible and can be installed on any machine. That's how we ensure all our customers can access the latest and greatest pre-roll technology from RollPros." 

Enhancements And Features

Dubbed 'Superspeed,' this upgrade is now standard on all new Blackbird machines. It includes dual vibe trays and scales as well as numerous hardware and software updates, allowing for more precise material measurement. Operators now have enhanced control over the material, significantly boosting the pre-roll accuracy.

"Our tests indicate a two to three times increase in joint accuracy with the new Superspeed system, reducing the need for operator intervention and minimizing downtime," added McFarlane. "It’s not merely about increasing output; it’s about maintaining the hand-rolled quality our clients expect, without compromise."

Strategic Impact And Availability

Priced at $25,000, the upgrade is designed to be backward compatible, ensuring existing Blackbird owners benefit from the latest advancements. This strategic enhancement facilitates larger account opportunities and streamlines operations, keeping pace with expanding businesses.

McFarlane noted with this upgrade, RollPros reaffirms its commitment to continuous improvement and solidifies its role as a pivotal player in the technological evolution of the cannabis industry, setting new standards for production efficiency and quality.
