A powder molding press method of a green compact for a cutting insert including: filling a molding space with raw material powder in a state where a lower punch is inserted from below into a hole portion of a die; performing preliminary molding by inserting an upper punch for preliminary molding including a preliminary molding surface having a shape different from a shape obtained by inverting the upper surface of the green compact for a cutting insert in a plane symmetry into the molding space from above such that a thick portion between the upper and lower surfaces in the direction of the insert center line is filled with more raw material powder than a thin portion therebetween, relative to a state before the step of performing the preliminary molding; and inserting an upper punch for final molding into the molding space from above to powder-molding-press the raw material powder.

Various embodiments of a system for automated pellet pressing and vialing are disclosed herein.

Various embodiments of a system for automated pellet pressing and vialing are disclosed herein.

Various embodiments for an automated pellet press for automatically producing pharmaceutical pellets are disclosed herein.

Provided herein are compressed plant material assemblies, as well as apparatuses and methods for forming compressed plant material assemblies. A compressed plant material assembly includes plant material such as smokable cannabis plant material. The plant material is compressed into a form such as a ball, with a wick disposed partially within the ball of compressed plant material. The apparatus includes a base, a lid, and a plunger. The base includes a mold cavity with a major portion for holding the plant material, and a minor portion for holding the wick partially inserted in the plant material. The lid, when applied to the base, does not enclose the major portion of the mold cavity, such that the plant material can be compressed with the plunger.

A smokable cannabis product and method for making the same are disclosed. The method includes providing a batch of cannabis containing cannabis flowers, stems, leaves and seeds and then grinding it. Then, the stems, leaves and seeds are removed from the ground batch so that it primarily contains ground cannabis flowers. The batch is then compressed to form a plurality of compressed cannabis pods having a desired shape for being smoked in a complementarily shaped bowl of a smoking device. The compressed pods are then dried to harden them so that they maintain their desired shape and so that each pod has a porosity which allows air to flow through the pod as it is smoked in the smoking device's bowl.
