*Pope Scientific Inc.* is a chemical processing equipment manufacturer
headquartered in Saukville, Wisconsin. Founded in 1963 in Menomonee Falls,
Wisconsin, the company designs and manufactures separation, purification,
and processing systems used across pharmaceutical, specialty chemical,
botanical extraction, and cannabis industries. Its core expertise centers
on high-vacuum distillation, evaporation, filtration, and reaction
technologies for both laboratory research and commercial scale production.

Pope introduced its wiped-film molecular distillation technology in 1975,
establishing a foundation in high-vacuum separation and evaporation
systems. The company entered the cannabis and hemp processing sector in
2002 with its first cannabinoid application for CBD recovery from hemp seed
oil byproduct. Beginning in 2015 during the THC distillate expansion, the
company increased its presence in the sector and reported selling more than
100 cannabis distillation systems in 2016.

The company’s product portfolio includes wiped-film short-path molecular
stills, fractional distillation systems, falling film evaporators, Nutsche
filter dryers, pressure vessels and reactors, sanitary mixers, and turnkey
custom processing systems. Pope’s cannabis purification systems are
designed to increase cannabinoid concentration and purity, with multi-pass
distillation capable of increasing typical extraction levels from
approximately 60–70 percent to ranges of 80–95 percent, depending on
feedstock and process parameters.

Operating from a 64,000-square-foot manufacturing facility, Pope Scientific
employs chemical engineers, mechanical engineers, control engineers,
chemists, glassblowers, and technical support staff. In addition to
equipment manufacturing, the company provides toll distillation services,
laboratory testing, process development, and glass equipment repair. Pope
serves global markets including pharmaceuticals, botanical extracts, foods
and flavors, polymers and coatings, cosmetics, nutraceuticals, specialty
chemicals, and regulated cannabis processing.
