ECO Farm 15000 psi Electric Auto Rosin Press VS Dulytek DM1005 Clamshell Manual Rosin Press

 Rosin has been around for a few years and is increasingly becoming the go-to choice for many plant extract enthusiasts. Why? Well, because unlike other methods that require the use of solvents like alcohol, rosin is a completely natural and solvent-free method of concentrated extraction.

The final product of the extraction has the same name: rosin. Rosin is similar in appearance to crumbs and is intended to be used in a similar manner to other extracts such as buds, waxes, and crumbs themselves. Although there are still differences in concentration, appearance, texture, etc.

Contrary to other extraction methods that require the hassle of solvents, decarboxylation processes, and other nasty little things, pressing your own rosin has never been easier. All you need is a rosin press…ome “artisanal” attempts at producing rosin involve using a hair iron or iron, which is certainly not recommended if you don’t want to end up wasting these “goodies”.

Picking a rosin press can be a bigger challenge than producing rosin at all. The press you use will ultimately depend on your yield goals and the raw material (flower, kief, or hash) from which you will extract the concentrate. These aren’t always obvious until you start experimenting with the process and the final product.

What is a Rosin Press?

A rosin press is a machine used in extraction that uses only heat and pressure to separate the cannabinoids and terpenes from the raw material ( flower). The Rosin Press is A.KA., a wax press and a tool that utilizes two heated plates to press plant flower with such force that the cannabinoids and terpenes ooze out in an oily state called “ rosin”. It has proven to be a simple method by which anyone can produce extracts without solvents. Rosin can also be described as a “hemp in, concentrate out” machine. Rosin presses are used with rosin press bags to get the most out of rosin extraction.

Rosin presses or tap presses have been added to make things easier in the industry. Guess what, it’s been around for a long time!

ECO Farm 15000 psi Electric Auto Rosin Press

Features:

The ECO Farm Rosin Press is completely plug-and-play, delivering power at the touch of a button. The 4″ x 6″ Aluminum Hot Plate has independent thermocouples to heat to different temperatures, they distribute heat evenly with 1°F temperature accuracy. The “Press” and “Release” buttons allow gradual pressing to reduce blowouts for better results. This is a robust unit ideal for those looking for a simple, automated solution for rosin pressing.

Dulytek DM1005 Clamshell Manual Rosin Press

Features:

Dulytek Rosin Press is suitable for solvent-free vegetable oil extraction for small business and personal use. The press is lighter than its predecessor, the DM1000, but stronger and more powerful, with a locking lever mechanism and adjustable pressure knob to apply maximum pressure without the need for continuous manual force. The press’s dual thermal solid aluminum plates ensure even heat distribution for optimal output. Touchscreen temperature and timer controls allow you to set and save press parameters for multiple batch extractions. The temperature control can be easily adjusted to display Fahrenheit or Celsius settings, depending on your preference. The DM1005 is easy to use and requires no additional equipment or parts to start pressing.

Getting the Right Rosin Press Plate

When purchasing a rosin press, you want to make sure that the heating plate meets two important criteria:

Thermite. Most rosin press plates are made of aluminum or stainless steel. Many DIY rosin press kits are made from stainless steel sheets, which is another reason to be cautious when purchasing a DIY kit. Aluminum is more durable and (perhaps more importantly) provides more even heat distribution. This is essential to ensure a smooth, consistent texture.

Rectangular shape. If you see a rosin press with a square or horseshoe shaped plate, keep looking. A good quality rosin press should have rectangular plates. It’s all about the perimeter-area ratio. Rectangular plates give you a large perimeter, which means a larger escape route for your rosin. Rosin has a shorter travel distance and is easier to push out quickly and smoothly from all sides. This means a smoother, more consistent product that won’t burn out.

Conclusion

Many rosin presses on the market are simple and easy to use. If you are someone who uses rosin, even on some common foundation, it definitely makes sense to invest in a personal rosin press. They come in a variety of price ranges, shapes, and sizes, so there’s a rosin press to fit any need!
