## Key Components of an Automated Pre-Roll Infusion Robot
An automated pre-roll infusion robot consists of several high-tech components that work together to ensure a seamless infusion process

**Infusion System**
The infusion system is the heart of the robot, responsible for precisely delivering cannabis extracts (such as THC oil, CBD distillate, or live resin) into pre-rolls. Sorting Robotics has developed a highly controlled infusion mechanism that eliminates uneven distribution, ensuring every pre-roll receives the exact desired potency.

**Precision Dosing Mechanism**
Accurate dosing is critical in the cannabis industry to maintain product consistency and meet regulatory requirements. The precision dosing mechanism measures and injects precise amounts of extract into each pre-roll. Sorting Robotics' dosing technology minimizes product waste and ensures that every pre-roll meets quality standards.

**Conveyor and Handling System**
The conveyor and handling system [automates](https://www.roboticstomorrow.com/article/2023/02/the-essential-role-of-conveyors-in-your-material-handling-system/20030) pre-roll movement within the infusion robot, reducing the need for manual labor. This component ensures that pre-rolls are carefully transported to different processing stations without damage or misalignment. Sorting Robotics’ automation solutions help maintain the structural integrity of pre-rolls throughout the process.

**Control Panel and Software**
Automation relies heavily on software and data-driven control. Sorting Robotics provides an intuitive software interface that allows manufacturers to adjust settings, track production data, and ensure real-time monitoring of the infusion process. This advanced robotic technology enables seamless integration into existing production lines.

**Quality Control and Sensors**
To ensure that each pre-roll meets industry standards, automated pre-roll infusion robots include high-precision sensors that analyze weight, shape, and infusion levels. Sorting Robotics has integrated a smart quality control system that detects inconsistencies, preventing defective products from reaching the market.

## Step-by-Step Process: How an Automated Pre-Roll Infusion Robot Works
**Step 1: Loading the Pre-Rolls**
The process begins with pre-rolls being placed into the system. Sorting Robotics' automated feeding mechanism ensures that pre-rolls are properly positioned and ready for infusion.

**Step 2: Preparing the Cannabis Extract**
Before infusion, the cannabis extract (e.g., THC distillate, CBD oil, or live resin) is heated and adjusted for optimal viscosity. This ensures smooth and consistent dosing. Sorting Robotics' infusion robots are compatible with multiple cannabis extracts, offering manufacturers greater flexibility

**Step 3: Precision Infusion into Pre-Rolls**
The robot injects the exact amount of cannabis extract into each pre-roll, ensuring precise dosing. This step prevents over-infusion or under-infusion, ensuring a consistent consumer experience.

**Step 4: Drying and Curing (If Needed)**
Once infused, pre-rolls may require a brief drying or curing period to allow the extract to stabilize within the flower. This ensures that the pre-roll burns evenly and delivers a smooth smoking experience.

**Step 5: Quality Control Inspection**
Advanced AI-powered sensors evaluate each infused pre-roll for weight, shape, and extract distribution. Sorting Robotics’ quality control systems flag any irregular products, ensuring that only perfectly infused pre-rolls move forward.

**Step 6: Packaging and Final Processing**
After passing quality checks, infused pre-rolls are packaged and labeled for distribution. Some manufacturers integrate additional branding and compliance labeling at this stage.
