New extraction technique? Rosin tech?

I tried tubular in my early experiments and I just couldn't find a screen/filter that would work.

Tubular would definitely rule. ;)

tube extraction!

tube extraction!

are you talking tube extraction? i hope so, thats the future i think. pressing plates is ok, but for volume i bet tubular would slay..

As soon as I found about this tek thats where my mind went exactly.
ATM I am working on de-bugging an 20 ton press a friend has butr as soon we get that all settled i am going to try to develop a ram style press.

I imagine a bore with cylinder to fit that has a tolerance of around .oo1 and have screen thats at bottom with .0017 iu or so, with a few relief holes at bottom of ram. the idea is the oil will follow the path of least resistance and flow out the bottom... Make sense , i know it sounds convoluted but love to hear any ideas about this. we would be heating the ram and cylinder of course.:joint:

awesome post, the bubblehash naysayers never quit with picking on BHO threads and kept it going to rosin too :D

awesome.

I feel ya wit the hair staighteners S-T, but HYDRAULIC PRESS?!?? Thats like if a tractor and a semi got drunk off moonshine and raped a 50 cal assault rifle and had a baby.

everything has its place ..

everything has its place ..

hair straightenrs and curlers are for the ladies...no thanks...yeehaw ..dry sift and bubblehash rule..

Rosin is a different thing - to me it a whole mind and body effect more pronounced than with other concentrates i've ever used. Before i was a big fan of bubble an a bit of sift an kief but never really like d BHo or other solvent extracts.
Give it a whirl if you have a chance and see where it goes ... :tiphat:

My first post here but have been lingering for years. Wanted to share with you guys my mini 4ton hydraulic press, still needs to be beautified though...has three interchangeable sets of plates for other art projects as well. I designed and 3d printed the case for the electronics, plus some minor pieces on the press itself. maybe it will inspire others as it is meant for small personal uses =)

Good luck with this project. I got it working but there are a couple of major drawbacks, and for the record a piston style press will squirt out every crack, never mind how miniscule once the rosin starts flowing...be prepared to fire material thru ur screen to as pressure builds also...this was stumbling block #1, #2 was how to collect it all without it going everywhere....#3, is how to do a fast enough press that you get consistant results without overcooking the last part of the batch....especially once you start pressing over 5g at a time of bubble.

Super clean press! And small too, I dig it great job! Do you feel 4 tons is enough pressure?

I max out my 6 ton every time with a slow consistent squeeze. Not sure if its really necessary though to get everything out. Im only squishing for personal use on 2 inch blocks though

Thank you! And in my opinion I almost feel like four tons is more than enough pressure as what I've been finding out. I'm also concluding that little pressure at first, just till it starts squirting, let it squirt for approx 5-10 sec, then apply slow max pressure. Instead of full 4 tons at once, if that makes any sense. And yeah that's what this thing was all about, personal use... :) plus I can use it for my other art projects also....

We pressed 72 grams of bubble hash, got 46 grms of hash oil. Did 12, 6 gram packets, we use SS screens. Each press averaged 4 grams.

Here's are set up

So I have a hair straightener, a t-shirt press, and a 20 ton press. Bubble, kief, hash all press just fine with my t-shirt press. The 20 ton is needed when pressing flowers. Anybody else concur?
