Are you interested in solventless extracts? If so, you must know how to choose the right rosin press. Your chosen machine will make the difference in terms of the rosin quality, output capabilities, and total return on investment.
LeDab Rosin presses extract the purest terpenes, cannabinoids, and flavonoids from the cannabis plant and hashish. However, these devices differ in their performance. This guide will help you understand the important features to look for including the following:
Pressure Capacity
It is important to consider both the amount of pressure and the way this pressure is delivered. Is the pressure manually driven or delivered through a pneumatic cylinder. It is electric or hydraulic press? How the pressure is delivered will affect the output’s speed and the amount of labour to get the job done. The right kind of rosin press for you depends on what you want to achieve.
A pneumatic press is ideal if you want to achieve a high output for a big commercial operation. If you only want to get started or are on a budget, you should invest in a manual rosin press.
Temperature Range
Cold pressing and hot pressing are the two generally accepted temperature ranges to press rosin. Typically, cold pressing takes place between 130°F and 170°F for around 1-5 minutes or longer while hot pressing happens between 170°F and 220°F for around 45 seconds to 3 minutes. The 210°F – 220°F range is found to be effective in achieving a great balance of yield and quality when pressing flower rosin. The best rosin press can handle temperatures that range between 140°F and 300°F.
The Size and Shape of the Plate
The rosin is separated from the plant by the machine’s heated plate, which needs to be of the right shape and size. Some cheap presses make use of square plates, which inhibit the end product’s quality. Look for a rosin press that makes the most out of the perimeter-to-area ratio. It should have rectangular plates.
Heat Distribution
To achieve a smooth, consistent extract texture, heat must be evenly distributed within the press. When you buy a rosin press, choose those with aluminum heat plates because they have greater distribution than stainless steel. Also, these plates are quite durable. Make sure you check out product reviews to know more about a press’s heat distribution quality.
Processing Capabilities
Pneumatic rosin presses have higher processing capabilities because of their semi-automated design. If your business prioritises high volume, choose a top-of-the-line provider. The best rosin press can produce enough rosin for meeting your daily volume demands and maximising your return on investment.
