While there will always be a place for hand-rolled joints, hand-rolling in a commercial facility is a thing of the past. While it remains an art form, manually rolling or hand-packing cones just isn’t competitive in the growing marijuana and hemp markets. Though it might reduce upfront expenses, growers will find that the cost will quickly become infeasible as production scales up. Let’s explore this.
Imagine you've hired a world record hand joint roller to make your joints. Insanely fast and able to roll a single joint in under 5 seconds, it seems like this would be plenty of speed for operation, since unhindered, an ultra-talented roller will be able to produce a couple thousand pre-rolled joints a day. But is that a lot? It seems like it, right?
The truth is that the number of pre-rolled joints produced and sold is going to depend on the producer’s size, market share, ability to keep up with demands, etc. For a small operation producing only a handful of joints per day, producing pre-rolls by hand probably makes sense, but what happens when we scale up to hundreds or even thousands of joints per day?
There will come a time when paying someone upwards of fifteen dollars an hour to process joints is no longer cost-effective. One single full-time joint roller will cost a business $600/week in this scenario, which again, may sound very reasonable depending on a facility’s needs. However, as demands increase, it makes less and less sense to continue paying an employee to do something a machine can do much more efficiently.
When is it time to think about an automatic cone filling machine? In our hypothetical case featuring a world-record caliber roller, it happens as soon as the demand exceeds the number of pre-rolls a facility can produce by hand. A facility’s choices at this point are: overtime pay, additional rollers, or finding a quality pre-roll machine. Equally important, brands looking to obtain a competitive advantage could benefit from upgrading to a machine that can begin to produce more high-quality, consistent pre-rolled joints.
While purchasing a piece of equipment can be a daunting leap of faith, a pre-roll machine such as the Mini-RocketBox PLUS+ from STM can pay for itself in a matter of days or weeks, depending on your production volume.
Why the Mini-RocketBox PLUS+ over the competition? Check out the table below and see for yourself.
