Pre-roll filling system

Abstract

A pre-roll filling system is provided. A pre-roll receiving component is operable to receive a plurality of pre-rolls. The pre-rolls are arranged in at least one row extending along a longitudinal axis. A translating component is operable to translate the pre-roll receiving component along the longitudinal axis. A filling component including at least one needle component is operable to deposit infusion material via at least one needle into the pre-rolls as the pre-roll receiving component translates along the longitudinal axis.

         3 . The pre-roll filling system of  claim 1 , wherein the pre-roll receiving component includes a plurality of holding channels operable to receive the plurality of pre-rolls, wherein the holding channels are arranged in two rows extending along the longitudinal axis. 
     
     
         4 . The pre-roll filling system of  claim 3 , wherein the filling component includes two needles that are arranged such that each of the two needle corresponds with a corresponding row of the two rows. 
     
     
         5 . The pre-roll filling system of  claim 1 , wherein the pre-roll receiving component includes at least two filling containers. 
     
     
         6 . The pre-roll filling system of  claim 5 , wherein each of the at least two filling containers are removable. 
     
     
         7 . The pre-roll filling system of  claim 1 , wherein the filling component is operable to move the at least one needle into the plurality of pre-rolls proximate a bottom of the pre-rolls and depositing the infusion material into the pre-rolls as the at least one needle is lifted vertically towards a top of the pre-rolls. 
     
     
         8 . The pre-roll filling system of  claim 7 , wherein the infusion material is deposited in a conical configuration. 
     
     
         9 . The pre-roll filling system of  claim 7 , wherein the infusion material is deposited in a matchstick configuration. 
     
     
         10 . The pre-roll filling system of  claim 7 , wherein the infusion material is deposited in a drop configuration. 
     
     
         11 . The pre-roll filling system of  claim 1 , wherein the pre-roll receiving component includes a cover which forms a plurality of apertures operable to receive the at least one needle, wherein the plurality of apertures corresponds with the plurality of pre-rolls. 
     
     
         12 . The pre-roll filling system of  claim 1 , wherein a needle receiver is operable to receive the at least one needle, wherein the needle receiver includes at least one channel that is in fluid communication with one or more ports. 
     
     
         13 . The pre-roll filling system of  claim 12 , wherein a needle heater is operable to receive and heat air flowing from an air source. 
     
     
         14 . The pre-roll filling system of  claim 13 , wherein the needle heater is operable to direct the heated air onto the at least one needle. 
     
     
         15 . The pre-roll filling system of  claim 1 , wherein the infusion material includes at least one of: terpene fluid, resin, rosin, sauce, distillate oil, hash, wax, and/or flavoring material. 
     
     
         16 . The pre-roll filling system of  claim 1 , wherein the translating component includes a tray operable to receive the pre-roll receiving component. 
     
     
         17 . The pre-roll filling system of  claim 16 , wherein the translating component includes continuous tracks that are moved by a motor. 
     
     
         18 . The pre-roll filling system of  claim 1 , wherein the translating component is operable to translate the pre-roll receiving component along the longitudinal axis in a first direction and a second direction opposite the first direction. 
     
     
         19 . The pre-roll filling system of  claim 1 , further comprising a removal component operable to push the pre-rolls out of the pre-roll receiving component. 
     
     
         20 . The pre-roll filling system of  claim 19 , wherein the removal component includes a plurality of poles operable to be inserted through corresponding bottom apertures in the pre-roll receiving component to abut against and push the pre-rolls out of a top of the pre-roll receiving component.
