Introduction

Mehmet Sucu is an inventor associated with Delta, California, and Enwave Corporation. His patent work addresses methods for drying cannabis while maximizing the retention of terpenes.

Latest Patents

The provided information lists one patent for Sucu: “Methods and Apparatus for Drying Cannabis.” It describes continuous-throughput and batch-type microwave vacuum drying methods.

In the continuous method, material moves through adjacent drying zones in a vacuum chamber while exposed to microwave radiation. The zones use different microwave power levels arranged nonlinearly from the first zone to the last.

In the batch method, material is placed in a vacuum chamber, the pressure is reduced, and microwave radiation is applied. The surface temperature is monitored, and when it exceeds a specified temperature for longer than a set period, the microwave power is lowered for a subsequent period. These methods are designed to maximize terpene retention during drying.

Career Highlights

Sucu’s listed patent reflects work on controlled microwave vacuum drying, with approaches for both continuous processing and batch operation. The patent record provided identifies 1 patent.

Collaborations

The supplied information associates Sucu with Enwave Corporation. It does not specify particular collaborators or describe the company’s role in developing the patent.

Conclusion

Mehmet Sucu’s listed invention applies controlled microwave power and vacuum conditions to cannabis drying, aiming to preserve terpenes across both continuous and batch processes.
