What Lowtemp Industries does

Lowtemp Industries is a US-based manufacturer of solventless cannabis extraction equipment, founded in 2015 in Arvada, Colorado with production in Wichita, Kansas. The company designs and builds a vertically integrated workflow of capital equipment for hash washing (Osprey line), freeze drying (Nest), rosin pressing (V4), packaging automation (LCD — Live Rosin Cartridge Direct), and process control (LT4 Controller), serving both independent processors and large multi-state cannabis operators in 21+ countries.

The product line spans $15.99 accessories to a $79,995 turnkey bundle, anchored by the Osprey 75-gallon washer at approximately $30,495 and the LCD at $39,995-$54,990. Technical differentiation rests on one granted US patent (US 12,391,539 B2) and patent-pending proprietary elements including FloTex coating and a No Shear Impeller design, with an emerging ML-based calibration interface on the LCD. The company sells primarily direct through e-commerce, augmented by a Sezzle buy-now-pay-later partnership, and supports a lifetime warranty on flagship equipment.

Lowtemp remains privately held and founder-led by Levi Lanzrath, with a lean team of approximately 12 employees. It was community-crowdfunded at founding and has accumulated a 4.84-star rating across 1.3K customer reviews. Its named enterprise customers include 710 Labs, AYR Wellness, Cannabist, Green Thumb Industries, Jushi, Terrascend, and Heritage Cannabis, alongside a broad base of smaller processors and home growers.
