In an industry where health is often at the center of the conversation, chemical-free products are bound to gain popularity. Commercial rosin presses help the industry meet the growing demand for concentrates without the use of potentially harmful solvents in the extraction process. Because these concentrates are produced without ethanol, butane or carbon dioxide, rosin is often favored by health-conscious plant connoisseurs in North America.

How Rosin Presses Work

The way a rosin press works is quite easy to understand. Simply put, a press is used to squeeze the material between two plates that heat up and distribute temperature evenly through the surface. As this happens, a gooey substance known as rosin will begin to ooze out of the raw material. That’s all it is!

Adequate temperature and pressure vary depending on the raw material used in the extraction process and imperative for high-quality rosin. This is why choosing a rosin press that meets your pressure and temperature requirements is so vital.

A few other things to keep in mind when choosing a product are heat distribution, the plate’s shape, and brand reliability.

ECO Farm 15000 psi Electric Auto Rosin Press

Features:

The ECO Farm Rosin Press is completely plug-and-play, delivering power at the touch of a button. The 4″ x 6″ Aluminum Hot Plate has independent thermocouples to heat to different temperatures, they distribute heat evenly with 1°F temperature accuracy. The “Press” and “Release” buttons allow gradual pressing to reduce blowouts for better results. This is a robust unit ideal for those looking for a simple, automated solution for rosin pressing.

NugSmasher IQ Automatic Rosin Press

Feature:

The Nugsmasher rosin press uses a precisely engineered method to create the highest quality, consistent extractions, including highly accurate pressure readings and a design to extract up to 28 grams of flower per smash. The Nugsmasher IQ features a new interactive extraction brain designed to simplify the rosin manufacturing process with its wireless continuously upgradeable platform and 10-inch interactive color touchscreen display.

Rosineer Presso Pro Electric Rosin Press

Features:

The Rosineer rosin press is a relatively new machine on the market. This is an electric rosin press that comes with a power cord and user guide. This is a relatively cheap option. It is typically used for very low temperature solvent-free extraction experiences. Unlike its predecessor, the Rosineer PRESSO PRO operates at the touch of a button and features a more powerful engine that generates up to 1 ton of force and oversized dual heating plates.

Features to Consider When Buying a Rosin Press

Having considered the definition of a rosin press, let us consider some basic characteristics of a rosin press.

Here are some important features to look for when buying a rosin press:

Digital Temperature Control: The role of digital temperature control on rosin presses cannot be overemphasized. The success of the extraction process depends on effective temperature control. Digital temperature control is a key feature as it allows easy programming and monitoring of temperature settings. Controlling the temperature is critical to maintaining the integrity of the rosin, which means not burning the rosin, or simply getting the most material out of the press. Purchasing a rosin press with digital temperature control is ideal, if not essential. Happily, most rosin press companies automatically add digital temperature control as a standard feature.

Timer: A digital timer is also an essential function of a rosin press, and the timer usually has two decimal places to ensure more efficient control and smooth extraction. Getting an automatic timer is nice, but not necessary. Watching the timer and knowing how to operate the press is enough to guarantee excellent rosin extraction.

Long, narrow heating plates: Long, narrow rosin plates are best because they allow the product to stay in the center, allowing the rosin to move quickly to the edges.

As opposed to larger hot plates, which tend to funnel the rosin into the center of the plate, making it more likely to degrade or burn.

Pressure Generation: Presses generate pressure in a variety of ways. The most common types use hand cranks, pivot and lever clamps, hydraulic cylinders or plungers. Each method of generating pressure has pros and cons, however, hydraulics are the most commonly used and often the best choice. Keep in mind that some hybrid rosin presses use electrical or pneumatic power to actuate hydraulic cylinders or cylinders, which in turn force hydraulic platens to compress.

Capacity: If you are in the commercial side of rosin extraction, your rosin press machine needs to have a large capacity. An essential feature of a standard rosin press is the 20 gram capacity (possibly higher). Remember that increasing capacity requires increasing pressure to maintain excellent extraction. Simply put, the bigger the plate, the more pressure you need!

Warranty: Some consumers may place a high value on a product’s warranty, while others do not. What’s covered under warranty can also be an important factor for some. Read the fine print to find out what’s included and excluded in their warranty plans. The time frame is another important part of your rosin press warranty. A longer, more comprehensive warranty, with fewer exclusions, should be what you’re looking for.

Conclusion

Thank you very much for reading this article, I hope it is helpful to you! Hopefully these rosin pressing tips will help you take your next rosin pressing experience to the next level. Have a great day and happy stress!
