    摘要: Trichomes, lupulins and other plant parts can be efficiently separated from plant biomass by continuous filtration. In some embodiments plant biomass is collected and combined with water to form a plant biomass mixture. The plant biomass mixture is passed through a filtration device in which the plant biomass mixture is continuously flowed through a filter material. The device includes a cleaning apparatus that cleans the filter material during the process. In some embodiments greater than 90% of the plant parts are collected from the starting plant biomass. The plant parts can be subsequently processed to obtain desired compounds. For example, trichomes can be separated from other plant biomass and subsequently processed to extract one or more cannabinoids or terpenes, such as THC and/or CBD.

    摘要: A fluid filtration device is provided that can be used for separating solids from fluids. In some embodiments, the fluid filtration device comprises a hollow housing and a hollow filter assembly located within the housing. Fluid to be filtered is provided to the inside of a filter material in the filter assembly and passes outward toward the housing. In some embodiments one or more flow-directing features are located between the filter assembly and the housing, and may aid in the flow of fluid to a filtered outlet after passing through the filter. The flow-directing features may comprise, for example, channels that extend the length of the filter.
