like vape oil you put in pen catridges? and honestly i would never ingest anything extracted with iso. Its gross to me. Solventless is the way to go for sure plus the taste and bag appeal is 1000xs better. If you are interested i can provide some links.

So far I'm liking this press and the product is coming out great. Pressed wifi, diesel , sour d and Chemdog D lower flowers, all cut about three weeks ago. The wifi yeilds the best at near 20% the others are around 10 to 12% rough figures at this point. Still playing with temps and press times.

Hey Guys, Ive been using a press from www.neo-farms.com. Works great large plates and dual plates..
We can press three large steel tubes filled with kief which is the best way besides bubble in our opinion. The flower just doesnt yield great and is a waste, because folks arent willing to pay $60 a gram. With the kief we get about 45% return with bubble 70% return.. All is dependent on age and moisture.. This squish was from 28g ( which is what each bag holds) we got 11g out.. The color isnt the best but the taste is great and the medicating ability is great! Sometimes the best bubble is cured and darker.. But as for the kief this was older, so i was surprised even by this yield. This machine runs hydraulic and is pretty quiet. All we do is let it sit, cool down, then take a jar with hot water put between to parchments give pressure and press it out thin, then it can be cut into gram or half gram, and it looks fancy and lighter than in the paper.. Everyone seems to love it!

$6500 for a t-shirt press and fancy table? Silly advertisers.

@mittenmedgrow Thanks! I have been looking at the Rosin Technologies one for a bit now. Also been considering this unit.


It's 800 less, and I don't think they have a 4 week lead time like Rosin Technologies does. Pretty much looks like the same thing.


Have you done any kief/tea bag runs?

These pneumatic machines currently don't give anywhere near the performance of simpler hydraulic presses. Do yourself a favor and check out the FB advanced rosin group for up to date discussion of commercial methods. For $300 you can buy a Dake or Baleigh 10ton, then source or build heating plates and controllers from one of many emerging suppliers.

Nice small form factor, but it maxxes out at below 300psi when you consider the whole pressing surface.

That press looks very similar to the rosintechnologies press I have. I have pressed lots of kief and the press does a great job with it. If I fill one of the tea bags 3/4full I yeild 3 to 4 grams of finished product per press.

@Herb Forester
What's the reasoning behind pre pressing?
I keep reading about it but don't quite understand why it's necessary.

Might be a t shirt press, but I already paid it off. Heres the new plates Im upgrading to.. Im just waiting on the new silicon inserts for these plates. I just didnt want a compressor going all the time, so I went this route.. Ill post once I get her going with the silicon.. No more bs parchment..

How many fingers have been smashed in the rosin so for? Lol

With a manual press I think you'd need to try pretty hard, plus ignore the haptic feedback telling your brain to stop squishing with the other hand :facepalm:. For automatic machines a two handed switch is wise.

Kief and water hash require much less pressure than pressing flowers, so the pneumatics should do ok there.

I'm no expert but have seen similar results to what others report. Pre-pressing helps form a matrix allowing the oil to flow through, probably something to do with Reynolds number and laminar fluid movement around the material. This can be accomplished in the press itself using progressive pressure, but most larger commercial setups use a seperate step with a mold/form the same size and shape as the heated platens. Once you play around with the parameters you'll see the magic of it, all somewhat variable regarding heat, strain, material structure, etc.
