One platform is not every process
Engineered for the material on your trays.
Flower and ice-water hash present different moisture loads, geometries, and handling priorities. HiLyph separates those workflows instead of forcing both into a generic appliance.

Built for solventless resin.
Dedicated Hash Dryer software and high-surface-area tray architecture for processors committed exclusively to solventless hash production.
Thin-film workflow
More usable surface. More deliberate control.
HiLyph Hash systems spread material across dedicated stainless trays to reduce layer depth and support more uniform moisture movement. Operators can use an automatic fine-tuned cycle or build a custom 10-point sublimation curve.

The architecture behind repeatable production.
Premium equipment should make its value visible in controls, capacity, cleanability, and workflow—not marketing language alone.
01 / VACUUM
Integrated vacuum-pressure control
Bud models use a bleeder-style VPC system to give operators another layer of process control during programmed drying recipes.
02 / PROGRAMMING
Recipes matched to the workflow
Bud systems support programmable 80-point recipes. Hash systems pair a fine-tuned automatic mode with custom 10-point sublimation curves.
03 / SURFACE AREA
Tray geometry with a purpose
Whole-flower spacing and high-density resin trays are configured around the physical form of the material being processed.
04 / SANITATION
Built for professional environments
Surgical-grade stainless chambers and removable rack assemblies support routine cleaning and disciplined production workflows.

What is the difference between a HiLyph Bud Dryer and Hash Dryer?
HiLyph Bud Dryers include both Bud Dryer and Hash Dryer software, making them the flagship choice for operational versatility. HiLyph Hash Dryers include Hash Dryer software only and use more trays for focused thin-film resin processing.
Why are the HiLyph Bud Dryers the flagship models?
They give operators two specialized workflows on one machine. Each Bud Dryer includes the Bud Dryer software for whole flower plus the Hash Dryer software for solventless resin, while a dedicated Hash Dryer runs Hash Dryer software only.
Which HiLyph size is right for my facility?
Start with your material type, maximum expected batch, weekly run cadence, room dimensions, and utility requirements. Medium fits craft workflows, Large balances footprint and commercial output, and XL serves higher-volume schedules. Contact TCI for a pre-purchase review.
What does VPC mean on the Bud systems?
VPC refers to vacuum-pressure control. HiLyph Bud Dryers use an integrated bleeder-style VPC configuration to give operators controlled pressure-management options within programmed recipes.
Do HiLyph systems include warranty coverage?
TCI currently publishes a two-year top-to-bottom warranty with a direct replacement policy. Review the official warranty terms and eligibility with TCI before ordering, as current written terms govern coverage.
Can TCI help plan installation and facility requirements?
