Exploring More aboutRosin and Rosin PressesPosted by HelenaNelson on June 18th, 2019 What is rosin? Rosin is a relatively new entrant to the concentrate market. It is a solvent-free concentrate or a very high-grade extract that contains the terpene profile of the herb thereby preserving the integrity of the original ingredients. It goes without saying that rosin is more flavorful than other extracts. In order to process rosin, high pressure and minimum heat is used to ensure that terpenes remain preserved during the process. Time is also a significant factor in the process but it would be surprising to know that rosin processing takes much lower time than other methods.
How to make rosin? DIY methods have been quite popular for making rosins. How to make rosins often get answered like this – using hair straighteners. The hot ceramic plates of hair straighteners provide an easy way to extract oil from the plant or flower. Mostly, the grease-proof paper is used in the process to prevent it from sticking onto the hot plates. However, this is not the ideal way of producing rosin because the plates can get too hot during the process. Also, it becomes difficult to apply the right amount of pressure without increasing the heat for extraction in good quantities. Rosin presses Rosin presses have revolutionized the way rosins are produced. They work on similar methodologies of hair straighteners but in a purpose-built, small unit to avoid all the mess and complexities. Rosin presses are also available online on leading websites. Hydraulic rosin press A modification or improvement in rosin making comes with hydraulic rosin presses. A hydraulic rosin press also is known as H-frame press, derives pressure from its hydraulic cylinder. Advanced hydraulic rosin presses can often reach pressure above 20,000 pounds, causing the press temperature to fall in the range of 100. In addition, these hydraulic presses provide a wider surface area for processing that leads to higher production in a single pressing. Benefits of hydraulic rosin press The biggest advantage of a hydraulic rosin press is that it is easier and cheaper to assemble. With a few simple parts, it can allow producing a high volume of rosin in much lesser time. Users do not need extensive experience to operate the machine as it is quite handy in nature. Additionally, it is easily available online for sale. Despite a young market for rosin, it has gained enough attention and is growing quite rapidly. With hydraulic presses and other rosin presses available on the market, it has become easier to produce high-quality rosin for consumer and industrial marketplace.
