TORONTO, Oct. 16, 2018 /CNW/ - Pure Global Cannabis Inc. (TSX.V:PURE; OTC: PRCNF; FRA:1QS) (the "Company" or "Pure Global" or "PURE"), through its wholly owned subsidiary PureSinse Inc. ("PureSinse"), is pleased to announce the acquisition of state-of-the-art extraction and purification equipment for the manufacturing of concentrated, purified cannabis distillates, extracts, and oils, as well as robotic packaging equipment for high speed filling of capsules, bottles, vials, vape pens, and other products.

This GMP-compliant equipment will enable rapid manufacture of high-quality cannabis oil and oil-based products which will help supply the growing national and global demand for cannabis concentrates. The extraction equipment employs a closed-loop system to yield purified oil at high throughput rates. The robotic packaging equipment can fill numerous vessels at a very high rate with accuracy, at a capacity of 1,500 30mL bottles or 3,000 capsules per hour, and can also fill vape pen cartridges. The equipment is estimated to be delivered, installed, and engaged in full production within the next 60 to 90 days, producing cannabis products for sale into medical and adult legal, or recreational, markets.

The CO₂ extraction method is considered the safest and most environmentally conscious method of extraction. PureSinse's Extraction Lead, who possesses a Master's in Chemical Engineering, explains: "Our supercritical CO₂ system is non-flammable, non-explosive, and is readily evaporated into gas, making our production procedures safer and more efficient. This ensures that our consumers are getting the highest-quality products produced in environmentally sustainable ways."

The closed-loop CO₂ recycling system does not generate carbon emissions, making it an environmentally friendly mode of production. The expandable footprint in the acquired equipment lends to shorter processing times, hardware redundancy, scalability, and flexible material volume processing. The equipment uses tunable solvents, which allow multiple varieties of the end product to be produced.

"It is exciting to be able to produce GMP-compliant oils, capsules, and vape pens within the next few months, but this is only the beginning for us," says Malay Panchal, President and CEO of Pure Global. "Soon, we will be manufacturing – at scale – a wide range of uniquely formulated, premium quality CBD- and THC-based cannabis products, for the medical, wellness, HABA, and food and beverage segments, ready for national and international distribution."
