New extraction technique? Rosin tech?

[Mikell]

It makes a poor quality dabbing rosin but is good for edibles or capsules.

15/25gr an hour seems to be a nice pace. Dry sift is a pain in the ass when there is large quantity to process, while tumber may comes handy, one have to check the process carefully to not end with green sand...

What you mean exactly by removing the toe? Any resin/ residue lower than 40µ?

And are airblade sieves something like that?

To my knowledge no one has tried. Seems like it would work if you could chill the incoming air. There was more interest on the other forum but I don't think anyone has bought one yet.

Green sand. Yep. Most sift in Canada smells like hay. Assclowns up here half think I am talking about grinder residue when I say sift or kief.

Correct. The Toe is the bottom end.

that looks like exactly what we need, but probably costs 50k

Re-worked my press today. I made some improvements after thinking about it for awhile. I’ll post pics when I make it purdy.

 

[EsterEssence]

Mine isn't purdy, but it sure is functional. Drip tech or just a normal squeeze she'll go either way...

this batch of dry ice hash will be put to the press today. it was run through the 120 bag.

i'll try to remember to film the squish and share it later.

I have started making rosin, done about a dozen presses (Dabpress 6Ton 3x5).

I have Kirkland brand parchment paper and have noticed that with every press that rosin "bleeds" through the parchment.
No rips or tears, but a sticky residue on the other (plate) side if the paper.

Is this to be expected, or am I using shit paper?

 

[Ringodoggie]

I occasionally got bleed through with my Kirkland.

Don't press so hard. Reduce temp to about 210F. Try again.

When I press I just barely squeeze until the rosin starts to flow. After it stops, I press a little harder and it starts flowing again. This takes about 90 to 120 seconds.

Then, I find that if I really crank down on the press, the flow will start again but it's darker and more full of plant matter. Not nearly as tasty.

Since I discovered that, I stopped pressing that last crushing press. It didn't affect my yield much. The rosin I collected was better tasting and cleaner. The pucks still had plenty on them to make fantastic edibles. And..... the parchment stopped bleeding though.

 

[JRace]

Interesting, I will give it a shot.

Any recommendations for decent paper to use?

 

[Hashmasta-Kut]

If you go above three tons with reynolds premium, with the 3x5 caged dabpress plates, you get bleedthrough. I try to stay at 3 tons max and its not very much at all. 4 tons you get it for sure.

I've tried 4 different brands of parchment from the various stores around here. I noticed they are all the same thickness (.07/.08mm measured with cheap Harbor Freight micrometer) and they are all 'made in France'.

Is this a case of the same company making all this parchment and it's just re-branded?

If so, then I guess cost would be the deciding factor for local choices. Target brand Up & Up is the cheapest around here not including Kirkland. I can get 50sqft for $4 vs 30sqft for about $4 for the other brands.

Is Kirkland brand made in France too? anyone measure the thickness of the Kirkland parchment? (or Raw?)

If you're actually interested, this is a decent read on the global market for parchment paper.


I still find that it's all about pressure. I bought some very expensive paper that turned out to be real thin and bled worse than any I had tried to date. Still, when using less than 3 tons of pressure, it didn't bleed.


I just bought that new DabPress 3ton portable unit. I am going to sell my 3x7 plates and my 12 ton press. I love that tiny unit with the 3 ton press. I couldn't bleed or burst a bag even if I tried. LOL I use way less pressure and get better quality with very minimal loss in yield. And, the loss is (I believe) mostly waxes and plant matter..

costco generally only put the bbrand kirkland on quality products. that being said, i'm sure they weren't testing the parchment for its rosin pressing qualities. however, i'd still guess it would be a good option because of the general quality of kirkland products.

as kirkland is always a licensed product i'm sure you can find out who makes their parchment. could even be a brand you've already tried.

 

[Hashmasta-Kut]

I don't see how that would be possible. Unless you would cook it with the big press by going too long, or too hot.

 

[Ringodoggie]

Overpressing for me always results in the last little bit being plant matter and wax. When that mixes with the stuff that came out first, it lowers the overall quality.

If I don't do that last crushing press, the resulting rosin does not have the wax and plant matter.

Make sense that way?




.

 

[Mikell]

How do you know it is leaving wax behind?


Otherwise I see what you are saying. What flows first is generally lighter than at the end of the press.

 

[Ringodoggie]

Perhaps wax is the wrong word. Plant matter for sure.

And, logic dictates and history had proved if you squeeze too hard, you're squeezing the 'shit' out of it.

I ain't smokin' no shit.

 

[Hashmasta-Kut]

I'd have to say, upon a moments reflection, that what oozes forth first is mainly terpenes, not thc, and what comes out last is the thc-a, among whatever else. If you do a represss with coffee filter, the terpenes come out very easily, but if you use too much heat or pressure, so does the thc-a. Leads one to think that in a regular press it would be similar.

Drysift. The difference between processing time. The one on the right buddered to a dark burnt peanut butter colour.

Made with a 220 bubblebag.

What was the time difference?
What temps?
Same material?

 

[Mikell]

The light stuff was sifted for 10 or so seconds, the darker 20+ seconds.

Same pressing temperature and material.

Welp, made a !0 ton Rosin press, now I'm gonna read all 447 pages of the thread.

Already made some with some real sticky Pineapple Chunk. I made it with fleerf (tiny bottom buds) that are completely dry having sat in a bin for a few months.

It is a bit dark, looks like BHO. It vapes real nice, like BHO.



I'm looking for a lighter color and bit more terpy, this was more like a dark shatter. After just a glance here, it may be due to the product being a bit old. I lowered the temp from 210f to 190f, then 170f and it was a bit lighter, but still all in all dark.



I have some that is fresher by a bunch, it's a just about a week old. I may try some test buds this evening.


Off to page one now, I see Krunchbubble is post number two so this can't be all bad!
