Methods and systems for producing hcm sheets

Abstract

A method may comprise creating a mixture comprising a raw material and a liquid, wherein the raw material comprises at least a portion of at least one of hemp, cannabis, and marijuana; separating a solid component of the mixture from a liquid component of the mixture; and/or drying the solid component to create an HCM sheet.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method, comprising:
 creating a mixture comprising a raw material and a liquid, wherein the raw material comprises at least a portion of at least one of hemp, cannabis, and marijuana;   separating a solid component of the mixture from a liquid component of the mixture; and   drying the solid component to create an HCM sheet.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising processing the raw material before creating the mixture. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein each step of the method is performed at a temperature within a desired temperature range and at a pressure within a desired pressure range. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 2 , further comprising applying an additive to the solid component at least one of during or after the drying the solid component. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein the additive comprises the liquid component of the mixture. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein the additive comprises at least one of a flavoring, a casing, a cannabidiol oil, and a tetrahydrocannabinol solution. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 4 , further comprising refining the solid component to achieve a desired consistency after the separating the solid component from the liquid component. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 7 , further comprising forming the solid component into a desired configuration after the refining the solid component. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the forming the solid component into a desired configuration comprises pressing the solid component. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 8 , further comprising sizing the solid component after at least one of the drying the solid component or the applying the additive to the solid component. 
     
     
         11 . A system for producing an HCM sheet, comprising:
 a processing system comprising a raw material comprising at least a portion of at least one of hemp, cannabis, and marijuana, wherein the processing system is configured to process the raw material;   a separation system configured to receive a mixture comprising the raw material and a liquid from the processing system and separate a solid component comprising the raw material from a liquid component of the mixture; and   a drying system configured to dry the solid component to form the HCM sheet.   
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 11 , further comprising a feedstock configured to provide the raw material to the processing system. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 12 , further comprising a refining system configured to receive the solid component from the separation system and refine the solid component into a desired consistency. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 13 , wherein the refining system comprises a shredder. 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 13 , further comprising a forming system configured to receive the solid component from the refining system and form the solid component into a desired configuration. 
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 15 , wherein the forming system comprises at least one of a roller or a press. 
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 11 , further comprising a forming system configured to receive the solid component from the separation system and form the solid component into a desired configuration. 
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 11 , further comprising a sizing system configured to receive the HCM sheet from the drying system and size the HCM sheet. 
     
     
         19 . The system of  claim 11 , further comprising a tank configured to receive the liquid component from the separation system. 
     
     
         20 . The system of  claim 19 , further comprising a nozzle configured to apply the liquid component to the solid component in the drying system.
