What Is A Rosin Press Used For?

April 06, 2021

If you’re looking for a product that is pure and full of flavour, it’s hard to do any better than rosin. With no use of solvents, rosin is clean and versatile and offers plenty of versatility for dabbing.Rosin is one of the hottest new ways to enjoy a richer experience, but it can take a little more work to get the pure product. Skimp on any of the steps and you won’t end up with the depth of flavour and strength that rosin is renowned for.
This is where a rosin press comes in, helping to process the raw product and producing rosin which can be used. Here’s a closer look at the rosin press and how it works.

Producing rosin
To get to rosin, the process starts in exactly the same way with raw medicinal plants which needs to be harvested. Like any plants product, the better the quality that you start with, the richer and more flavourful the rosin will be. As rosin is such a pure form of medicinal plants, will be particularly noticeable.

It can seem inconceivable that fresh herbs could produce the golden, amber rosin but just by following a few short steps you can convert one into the other. Heat plays a major role in the process and is essential for pressing and heating your raw medicinal plants. In the bad old days, hair straighteners were used as a tool, but only tiny amounts could be pressed at any one time. And of course, the inconsistencies with pressure and heat meant that there was no real guarantee of the results that would be produced.

A gap in the market was identified and as the popularity of rosin rocketed, commercial rosin presses became available. These were to transform the quality and availability of rosin.

The next generation of rosin presses
Manufacturers are using new and evolving technology in their quest to produce the very best rosin press available. Starting with the hydraulic rosin presses, it’s now possible to find pneumatic rosin presses which offer next generation processing with sublime control over both pressure and heat.

A pneumatic rosin press is considered far Superior because the pressure it produces tends to be more even, squeezing the maximum amount of rosin out of any product. They’re also far quieter which is essential when discretion is key!

Every aspect has to be carefully balanced, even the speed at which the pressure from the plates are applied. Manufacturers have refined each detail to produce optimum quality and quantities of rosin, developing narrow plates to minimize the run-off distance as much as possible.

A new way to enjoy your plants
If you enjoy dabbing, a rosin press should be next on your shopping list. Easy to operate and as you aren’t using solvents, completely legal for use in the home. Rosin press technology has evolved a long way from the haphazard use of hair straighteners and in a relatively short period of time you’ll be able to produce your own rosin in all its forms including shatter, sap, wax, and budder.

A pure and clean way to dab, rosin offers the next generation of flavour, taste, and strength and a rosin press makes this possible for anyone.
