In the world of cannabis concentrates, Ice-O-Lator has gained a prominent place for its purity and potency. This hashish, obtained through a process of extraction with ice water, is characterized by its very high concentration of cannabinoids and terpenes, which give it an exceptional quality and aroma. It is a natural cannabis concentrate of the highest quality, ideal for those who wish to experience CBD in its purest form. Here we explain how it is made and everything you need to know about this cannabis concentrate.

What is Iceolator and how is it produced?

Iceolator or Ice-O-Lator is a cannabis extract that uses a cold extraction technique using ice water and mesh fraction size between 73 and 119 microns, which separates the trichomes while preserving the cannabinoids and terpenes intact. Trichomes are the tiny resin glands that cover the cannabis buds, where cannabinoids such as THC and CBD are found, as well as terpenes that give the product its aroma.

White or milky colored cannabis trichomes. — When we touch with our fingers, the trichomes break and release their resin, which is what gives the sticky feel to cannabis. This resin contains high concentrations of cannabinoids, terpenes and other chemical compounds that are responsible for the aroma and effects of cannabis.

By cooling the plant in ice water, the trichomes harden and detach from the plant matter, retaining all their CBD-rich resin. The exclusive use of ice water effectively separates the presence of chlorophyll and waxes, making this Iceolator a clean and natural concentrate, without the use of solvents and with exceptional purity.

Characteristics of Cannactiva’s Iceolator resin

With a very high CBD content of 60%, this resin is ideal for those looking for the quality of a good cannabis concentrate, without the presence of the psychoactive compound THC, which in this product remains below 0.2% THC according to European regulations.

Iceolator is cold stored to preserve its fresh and resinous aroma, with gassy notes that are due to the preservation of terpenes in the cold extraction process. The varieties used for the extract are essential to achieve an optimal result.

As for the texture, it is soft and earthy and, when handled with the fingers, it acquires a gummy and resinous consistency, due to the trichomes breaking up and releasing all its CBD-rich resin… A real cannabis delight!

¿Qué significa ice-o-lator?

El nombre Iceolator es una combinación de las palabras inglesas “ice” (hielo) e “isolate” (aislar), reflejando la esencia del método: la extracción o aislamiento de los tricomas de las flores de cannabis mediante el uso de hielo para obtener un concentrado puro y potente. Este proceso aprovecha las bajas temperaturas para facilitar la separación de los tricomas, resultando en un producto final de alta calidad. Mila Jansen, conocida como la Reina del Hachís, inventó la máquina Iceolator en 1998, ofreciendo una alternativa más limpia y eficiente a los métodos tradicionales. Este invento fue precedido por el Pollinator, lanzado en 1993. Ambas máquinas se inspiraron en el funcionamiento de una lavadora para centrifugar los cogollos de forma controlada y obtener extractos de altísima calidad.

Iceolator extraction process

1- Selección y preparación de la materia prima

Se eligen cepas de cáñamo de alta densidad de tricomas y perfiles ricos en CBD. Cannactiva utiliza las mejores flores de CBD, asegurando un producto final de alta calidad. Las flores deben estar bien secas para facilitar la separación eficiente de los tricomas.

2- Congelación y agitación

Las flores secas se colocan en agua helada, manteniendo una temperatura entre 0°C y 4°C. La baja temperatura endurece los tricomas, lo que facilita su desprendimiento mediante agitación mecánica, sin necesidad de utilizar otros solventes químicos. Se utiliza una máquina de agitación específica para mezclar el agua y el cannabis. Este movimiento mecánico desprende los tricomas de las flores, facilitando su recolección.

3- Filtración en mallas

La mezcla agitada pasa a través de múltiples filtros de malla de diferentes tamaños de partícula. Cada malla captura tricomas de tamaños específicos, lo que permite la recolección y purificación del extracto. Se utilizan entre 5 y 7 mallas de diferentes tamaños para asegurar la máxima pureza del extracto, desde 73 1 119 micras.

4- Secado y conservación

Una vez recolectada la resina, ésta es secada cuidadosamente para evitar la aparición de moho y conservar los compuestos volátiles como los terpenos, esenciales para que la resina conserve toda la potencia y aroma de las flores de cannabis originales. El rendimiento de la extracción varía según la variedad y calidad de la materia prima, pero generalmente oscila entre un 10% y un 20% del peso seco original.

Iceolator Conservation and Usage Tips

To ensure the quality and durability of this resin, Cannactiva recommends storing Iceolator in a cool, dry place away from light. Exposure to temperature changes could alter the quality of the product, affecting its texture and aroma.
