RollPros Launches the Blackbird XXL: The First-Ever Automated Blunt Rolling Machine
Expanding on its flagship TruRoll technology, RollPros introduces a scalable solution for rolling full-size blunts with the quality and consistency of hand-crafted production
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
VANCOUVER, WASHINGTON – July 29th, 2025 – RollPros, the industry leader in pre-roll joint automation technology, today announced the launch of the Blackbird XXL, the first and only commercial machine that automates the rolling of full-size blunts. The release of the Blackbird XXL marks a significant milestone for the cannabis industry, offering operators a solution to meet growing demand for premium, large-format pre-roll products with precision, speed, and consistency.
Unlike traditional cone-stuffing machines, the Blackbird XXL rolls blunts the way skilled hands do, delivering a slow-burning, hand-crafted-style product without relying on pre-made cones. This launch builds on the success of RollPros’ flagship product, the Blackbird, the industry’s first automated joint rolling machine, which has rolled over 100 million joints to date and is trusted by operators in legal markets across North America. That proven performance is now coming to the blunt category, delivering the same level of scale, consistency, and craftsmanship to one of the industry’s fastest-growing product categories.
“The original Blackbird set the standard for cone-free joint automation, and the Blackbird XXL pushes that boundary even further into the premium blunt space,” said Kyle Loucks, Founder and CEO of RollPros. “This machine was engineered specifically for brands looking to scale up blunt production without sacrificing quality, consistency, or creative control.”
The Blackbird XXL accommodates weights ranging from 1.25 to 2.5 grams, with a 1.75 to 2.25 gram sweet spot, and supports a range of crutch types and sizes, including paper, glass, and ceramic. Operators can use hemp wraps up to 50gsm, or rice or wood pulp papers as thin as 13gsm, with wider roll widths being fully supported. Output rates reach up to 850 units per hour with standard paper and approximately 250 per hour using traditional blunt-thickness paper, depending on material consistency.
In addition to its compaction and rolling capabilities, the Blackbird XXL features the new RingWrap feature; a built-in tip banding mechanism similar to what is commonly seen on cigars. This provides a new branding opportunity that stands out in retail environments, and adds a premium, finished look to the product. Crutch depth is variable, and options include “full reveal”, “no reveal,” or hybrid styles, offering flexibility to create any desired look.
For operators producing infused products, premium blunt lines, or glass-tipped SKUs, the Blackbird XXL provides a scalable, high-performance solution that meets the expectations of both consumers and regulators.
“We built the Blackbird to eliminate the tradeoff between scale and quality. With the XXL, we’re bringing that same innovation to blunts,” added Loucks. “It’s a machine for operators who care about how their products perform and who are ready to grow without cutting corners.”
The first production units of the Blackbird XXL will begin shipping in mid-September. Pre-orders are now open.
