Pre-rolls infused with cannabis are a major part of the retail marijuana market today, as customers gravitate towards stronger and more flavourful products. It’s been reported that in California from December 2024 to February 2025 cannabis sales were $1.1 billion. Infused prerolls accounted for about 66.3%, or $178.1 millions, of the total pre-roll sales.
The surge in demand also revealed a significant production gap. Many manufacturers are still finishing infused prerolls manually, applying oil and kief to batches of laborious work that can slow production and create quality issues. AV2, a Californian engineering firm, decided to fix this problem.
L.A.L.A. This is the world’s first liquid adhesive layer applicator (L.A.L.A. The L.A.L.A. The L.A.L.A.
Cannabis-Engineered Products
AV2 had a single purpose when it was established: to fix the operations headaches that were holding back cannabis producers. In the early days, manufacturers used repurposed equipment that could not keep up with demands and compliance standards. They began by utilizing their industrial engineering knowledge to design systems with the precision, reliability, and scalability that modern cannabis production requires.
The AV2 equipment was designed specifically for cannabis, unlike many other systems which borrow technology from pharmaceutical or food machinery. The L.A.L.A. is constructed from components of industrial quality. The L.A.L.A. can handle sticky resinous materials with no clogging. Each function is calibrated according to the actual behavior of cannabis, including temperature and coating thickness. The cannabis machines are professional grade, engineered and purpose-built to meet industry demands.
Cannabis Production Increased
L.A.L.A. The L.A.L.A. automates the step that is most labour-intensive in producing an infused roll. It applies food-safe cannabis adhesive or oil evenly to cones and straights.
Only two people can produce more than 7,000 pieces per hour. A manual finishing crew could only produce a tenth of this volume. Accuracy is the key to a faster process. L.A.L.A. This eliminates waste material, uneven application and batch to batch variability.
Cannabis manufacturers can reap many benefits
- Reduction in Labor Cost: Each L.A.L.A. The L.A.L.A. system replaces large finishing teams. Manufacturers can focus on product development and packaging with just two workers per system. This reduces overhead, streamlines operations, and allows them to reallocate their skilled employees.
- Increased Capacity and OutputThis machine, which runs at a very high speed, can complete 7,000 pre-rolls per hour. It keeps production in front of the sales growth. The efficiency of the machine allows for brands to increase production without increasing staff or facilities.
- Reduced VariabilityEach pre-roll will receive the same amount or oil and adhesive. The result is improved product quality, better burn performance and fewer rejected units—key advantages in a market built on reliability.
- It is possible to scale infinitelyL.A.L.A. Operators can expand their systems at their own pace. The capacity of a facility can be increased by adding additional systems without the need for major investments or facility redesign.
- Design for Compliance and ConfidenceEach AV2 includes a built-in data collection and tracking system that records production data automatically. For each cycle, the coating volume is measured and other performance metrics recorded. The data simplifies inspections and audits as well as helping operators to monitor performance in real time.
This machine is designed to adhere to the stringent regulatory standards that are unique to cannabis manufacturing. The L.A.L.A. was designed to meet strict regulatory standards for cannabis manufacturing, from weight verification and cleanliness standards. AV2 designed the L.A.L.A. to ensure compliance while maintaining accuracy and speed.
AV2 is a partner in engineering, not a seller. The installation process begins with an initial consultation in order to determine the specifics of each client’s workflow and product selection. To ensure that the system is performing as it should, we provide complete training on site and offer ongoing support.
This approach reflects AV2 s philosophy, which is long-term partnership over single-time sales. Equipment should be designed to scale with the growth of a client, whether they are a small boutique manufacturer with one facility or an operator with multiple facilities in different states.
AV2 wants to be the link between high-tech engineering and cannabis culture. The company blends precision advanced manufacturing and a respect for craft, community and the culture that created the cannabis industry. The company’s machines are designed to bring cannabis production up to global standards without losing the creative spirit that makes the industry unique.
Setting the New Standard on a Rapidly Evolving Industry
The cannabis industry is evolving faster than it has ever been. The cannabis industry is changing faster than ever before. L.A.L.A. The L.A.L.A. The system provides precision, reliability and speed to help manufacturers succeed in a market that is becoming more professionalized.
AV2’s message is clear: Innovation is not optional. Brands who invest in automated systems that were built specifically for the cannabis market, rather than a simple adaptation of other industries will prosper.
The L.A.L.A. The L.A.L.A. proves automation is compatible with the cannabis culture and can deliver measurable results. It’s the perfect solution for producers looking for real efficiency, scaleability, and ROI.
