Rosin Tech H-Frame 12 Ton Hydraulic Rosin Press VS Bubble Magic 5"x5" 1000 PSI Pneumatic Rosin Press

Rosin has become one of the most sought-after forms of cannabis concentrate on the market. It’s easy and safe to produce at home with a hair straightener and parchment paper, but it’s also easy to scale for commercial operations with the proper equipment. One of its only drawbacks is you have to have exceptionally high-quality starting material to produce great rosin, but that’s also what makes it so desirable.
 
Choosing the best rosin press comes down to your desire for consistency along with the scale of your operation. We’ll cover all the basics to help you make an informed decision on the best rosin press for your needs.

What You Need To Make Rosin With A Rosin Press

Before you try making Rosin, you’re going to need to pick up a few things. In addition to the Rosin Press itself, you’re also going to need a product such as Cannabis Flower for extraction, a small storage container, and potentially other accessories such as Rosin Bags. Fortunately, all of these things can easily be bought online.

You can buy Rosin Presses online in many forms depending on how good you want your Rosin to be. Cannabis manufacturers often use large, industrial Rosin Presses for extracting as much Rosin as possible. However, even a simple portable Rosin Press can be used for making high-quality Rosin dabs in minutes, and they’re easy enough for anyone to use.

As for what to use for extraction, you have many options. Cannabis Flower is ideal for creating high-THC Rosin extracts. You can also use Kief or Hash if you prefer. These products are only legally available in certain states.

Certain accessories can also help with the Rosin extraction process. You’ll need to wrap your chosen product in Parchment Paper before extracting Rosin to stop it from sticking to the plates. You’ll also need Rosin Bags if you’re planning to extract Rosin from Kief or Hash. You should also get some Silicone Containers and a Collection Tool for scooping and storing your Rosin.

Rosin Tech H-Frame 12 Ton Hydraulic Rosin Press

Features:

This Rosin Tech Rosin Press is built for our commercial producers. This particular Rosin Press is built for heavy-duty pressing and can achieve top-quality yield. Hydraulic presses can lift and move a load with ease. Hydraulic presses also have the added benefit of using hydraulic oil which is not compressible allowing for a smooth press each and every time. When we compare this to other presses, for example, an air press, the compression may become jerky and uneven as the air pressure changes leading to an uneven yield. This Rosin Press comes with the ability to manually use the hydraulic force or can make the use of the best of both worlds and has the ability to connect to an air compressor in order to speed up the process.

Bubble Magic 5"x5" 1000 PSI Pneumatic Rosin Press

Features:

This Bubble Magic rosin press comes equipped with 5 by 5-inch heat plates, but they can be changed for 4 by 6 or 6 by 8-inch plates. Control both your top plate and bottom plate separately and use the built-in digital LED timer and temperature controller to make sure you are getting the most out of your pressing session! With a temperature range of 0° to 750° Fahrenheit, you can dial in the plates to the perfect temperature you are trying to achieve. This press requires an air compressor to run (not included), delivering pressure in all the right places.

How To Use A Rosin Press

Once you have everything you need, the process of using a Rosin Press and making quality Rosin is surprisingly easy. Before you start, you’ll need to get your chosen product ready. Cannabis or Hemp Flower should be placed between two pieces of parchment paper. Kief or Hash should be placed in a Rosin Bag before being wrapped in parchment paper.

Preheat your Rosin Press by turning it on. If your Rosin Press has adjustable temperature settings, then 220–250°F is ideal for extracting higher yields of Rosin. However, lower temperatures of 150–220°F will give you more terpenes, resulting in more flavorful Rosin dabs.

Once the plates are hot, apply some gloves and place your wrapped cannabis or hemp between the plates. You can then press down on the packaged product firmly for a few seconds and you’ll notice Rosin emerge from the edges. It usually only takes a single press to extract plenty of Rosin, although you may want to repeat the process to extract more.

After extracting your Rosin, turn your Rosin Press off and allow the finished product to cool. You may even want to place it in the fridge briefly. Once it’s cool enough, use your collection tool to scoop up all of the Rosin and place it in a small silicone or glass container. You can then use it whenever you wish.

What You Should Know While Selecting the Rosin Press

Size and Shape of the Plate

The size and shape of the plate depending on the amount of material you will be pressing more often.

First, when the rosin flows out from your material, it needs to slide out at the soonest time possible, as the heat from the plates can affect the quality of these extracts.

Thus a small plate would seem ideal, but it will also mean you can only work on a small amount per batch.

Having a larger plate allows you to extract more and reduce the instances of unpressed plant material. But that comes at the expense of rosin sliding out slower.

That’s where having rectangular plates come in.

Rectangular plates work best when extracting large amounts of material, and they can slide out without much delay due to the short travel distance.

Amount of Pressure

Does more pressure mean much better for rosin?

Unfortunately, that is not true.

Depending on the material you plan to extract, you need to have the right amount of pressure to get the best results.

Anything below it won’t let you make the most of your material. More pressure than needed can result in blowouts, which can affect the taste of your extracts.

So how much pressure do you need?

If you are mostly pressing buds, you can use a rosin press that can provide force between 600 to 1,000 PSI.

For those extracting kief, you would want a rosin press with a force range between 300 and 700 PSI. You can use this setting for dry sift hash, although you may want to work within the lower limits.

What’s the Ideal Temperature?

The thing is, the amount of heat depends on the strain you are extracting from.

While you can experiment with the amount of heat, you should be aware that using more heat can reduce the amount of pressure needed but can compromise the quality of the rosin.

Meanwhile, lower temperatures can produce more potent rosins but need more pressure, which is also risky due to the risk of blowouts.

If you are looking into extracting rosin from buds, you should look at heating the plates from 175 up to 240 degrees Fahrenheit. With the right settings, you can expect a yield of up to 25 percent.

For extracting hash, kief, or dry sift, you should have heating plates that can go from 170 to 190 degrees Fahrenheit. You can get up to 70 percent yields if done in the right settings.

Conclusion

Now that you have the considerations in mind, you can make an informed decision when you buy a rosin press.

You don’t have to fall for any marketing hype, as you can base your decision on what you need and how you see yourself using the rosin press in the future.

Happy extracting!
