Up to 20 pounds of cannabis is placed in APEX with probes to monitor temperature in real time. Radio frequency is then applied at 27.12 MHz creating an oscillating electromagnetic field between two electrodes, which causes polar molecules, such as water, present in the cannabis, to oscillate. The rapid internal oscillation of the polar molecules generates heat volumetrically, which then, based on Ziel’s proprietary processing parameters, kills targeted pathogens including yeast and mold. Processing time is typically 15 minutes or less.
