From what I understand, those leach the yellow color out into your product and you want to stay away from yellow bags

Hmmmm
Those are the only 25iu baggies I found when searching. I didn't get any color bleed on the 30 baggies I already pressed.
And no color bleaching in my iso jar that I Doak the baggies in when done pressing to get every last drop of oil out of. I have 5 bags soaking for 1 week now, no color variance from new

14 Gram coin of Gorilla Glue 4 Sift Rosin from 28 Grams of trim bin sift.
Hmmmm, 50% yeild huh. That's FAR superior than any of my dry ice extraction yeilds.

This is what we are pressing. It's pretty melty and not heavily contaminated.
I should also add this is being pressed on a 20 ton press at 180F 7 grams at a time. Coffee filter for filtration. Pictures is 4 presses combined into one coin.
Dry ice keif, 160 bag, no green, in 25iu baggies, 20 ton, 185*, then repressed at 210 for better quality. I'm getting 30% tops.

How long is the duration of your press?
We're pressing for over 20 seconds in most situations. Hard to just say an amount of time because it's dependent on when the material stops squirting really. Maybe your calling it quits before the full yield is realized?
What benefit do you see from repressing at 210?

I press and repress each baggie at least 4x or more until no more oil is on the parchment. 185 produces budder like consistancy, 210 is almost shatter like. Lower temps has a better flavor, higher temps lower flavor. Both have same potency.
I also run trim for 6 other caregivers. All yeilds have been about 30-35%. I've pressed over 300g keif in 4 weeks. All pretty much same yeilds.

170-190 produces budder like consistencies for me when pressing flower, but not full melt and sift. I press all my sift and hash's around 180 because any more seems redundant. For flower I press at 220 and consistently produce pull and snap that usually auto budders after a week or so.
I don't even bother with a second press because of the inferior quality lack of yield and the %'s were returning off our first press.
Maybe our sift is of higher quality being that it is derived from nugs as they are trimmed and simply fall through the screen without any assistance other than gravity. Where as a mechanical seperation with intense agitation like dry ice tek probably pulls a lot more contaminant? I don't know, just speculating.
We consistently yield 50%+ from sifts and hash. 5-25% from flowers.

This is what I get my keif from, elite super frosty buds and nothing but this quality. Not really doubting your numbers, actually I am. Your getting far superior yeilds than the other 25 rosin press guys on 4 different grow forums.and then3 other local guys I work with.

those numbers seem very consistent with my experiences.
hey with a 20t you should be able to press way more than 7 grams at a time. how big are your platens?

yeah i get about the same yields my banana and glue squirt 25+ consistently, one press 200-220 deg for about 30-45 seconds, only use about 5 tons max. 4 inch round plates 10 ton press
25% is alot different than the above posters 50% returns.
25% is what people get from buds, not sift. He is talking very pure sift to get 50%.
I saw you say you arent getting 50%. Well it depends not so much the quality of the bud used exactly, but the genetic makeup of it, as well as a good grow. Some strains will press 30% from bud, so if that strain was made into kif, if it got less than 50% it would make no sense at all. I'd predict closer to 65% from dry sift made from buds that would give 30%.

dry ice and proper dry sift are not the same thing
from really proper dry sift (not dry ice) 50% squish should not be unthinkable, on the other hand should be expected i think

My plates are 5" X 2.5" . I can definitely squish more at a time, just break it down into a few smaller presses just in case I fuck something up. Every once in a while ill over press and blowout a filter bag still when I first sit down to press. I should really hook a gauge up to my press, but just haven't got around to it.

Yeah dry ice is garbage to press yields are very low compared to some sift or bubble, I have only press flowers and a 100g of dry ice that didn't come out great
