Extraction Exclusion

Extraction exclusion reads open work orders and confirms they stay on humidity, lighting, fertigation, CO2 sensing, and drying-room air. The technician writes the as-found reading and compares it with the last one on the asset. Solvent extraction, closed-loop extraction, and pressurized solvent equipment are not these tasks. Anything past that line belongs to the site's own procedure, the OEM manual, or a permit. This is the inspection ChatterFix schedules. It is not itself permission to go further.

The Procedure

The steps ChatterFix schedules for this PM. Every step is a checkable item on the work order — a technician can speak their way through it without touching a keyboard.

  1. Sample open work orders and confirm none describe solvent extraction, closed-loop extraction, or pressurized solvent equipment
  2. Confirm this pack's tasks stay on humidity, lighting, fertigation, CO2 sensing and drying-room air
  3. Confirm a separate program exists if the site extracts, and that it is not these work orders
  4. Check CO2 cylinder valves are not being opened under a maintenance task
  5. Stop a work order that starts to read like an extraction procedure

Why This PM Exists

Extraction exclusion reads open work orders and confirms they stay on humidity, lighting, fertigation, CO2 sensing, and drying-room air. The technician writes the as-found reading and compares it with the last one on the asset. Solvent extraction, closed-loop extraction, and pressurized solvent equipment are not these tasks. Anything past that line belongs to the site's own procedure, the OEM manual, or a permit. This is the inspection ChatterFix schedules. It is not itself permission to go further.

What Skipping It Looks Like

An extraction procedure lands on a maintenance work order because the cultivation pack was the one that existed. The round still closes, the number never lands on the asset, and the next person inherits a guess. Solvent extraction, closed-loop extraction, and pressurized solvent equipment are not these tasks.

Setting the interval

Monthly. A job that starts to read like an extraction procedure is stopped. An as-found reading outside the limit the site already published is a finding. It does not become a new setpoint on this work order.

Common Questions

How often should this PM run?
Monthly. Monthly. A job that starts to read like an extraction procedure is stopped. An as-found reading outside the limit the site already published is a finding. It does not become a new setpoint on this work order.
How long does it take?
Budget about 1.0 hour for a technician working to the standard procedure. ChatterFix uses that estimate for capacity planning, then learns your plant's actual time from completed work orders.
What happens if we skip it?
An extraction procedure lands on a maintenance work order because the cultivation pack was the one that existed. The round still closes, the number never lands on the asset, and the next person inherits a guess. Solvent extraction, closed-loop extraction, and pressurized solvent equipment are not these tasks.
