Rosin has zero solvents
For medicinal patients who want a pure medicinal plants extract, the choice is obvious.
Medicinal plants extraction methods such as RSO, BHO and CO2, have a lengthy purging process. Where solvents must be removed from the final product, otherwise, they will leave potentially harmful residuals.
Solvents are a popular method for extracting concentrates. This is mainly because they’re cheap and easy to get hold of.
You can avoid these health risks with your own rosin press machine, that uses a solventless extraction process.
It’s safe to press rosin
It’s completely safe to extract concentrates with a rosin press.
Solvents such as pure isopropyl alcohol and butane are highly flammable, so extreme cautions need to be taken when using BHO, RSO or any other solvent-based medicinal plants extraction process. These methods of extracting medicinal plants concentrates are best done in a laboratory, not at home.
We’ve heard of too many horror stories with people attempting solvent-based extractions at home. There’ve been reports of serious accidents, fire, burns, hospitalisation, damaged property and even death! All these risks are eliminated when using a rosin press.
The rosin press is quick and easy
Other extraction methods such as BHO have a lengthy 120-hour purge time required to safely remove the solvents.
However, Eco Farm rosin press machine is by far the quickest and easiest method for extracting concentrates.
You just load your flower/bud or hash into a micron bag in-between greaseproof paper in the press, slowly apply some pressure and collect the rosin. Then you’re ready to start vaping, dabbing or eating medicinal plants concentrates in no time. It really is that simple.
With a little practice, the entire rosin press process can take less than two minutes and we will teach you how on this website.

Pressing rosin is cheap
Other than the initial cost of the press, some greaseproof paper and bags you’re good to go.
Whereby with butane or CO2 you need air and pressure-tight rigs to blast wash the flowers with the chosen solvent. You then need a vacuum oven to safely purge the solvent from the solvent/oil solution produced by the wash.
This is costly in both time and money spent on equipment needed. Not to mention the ever-present health risks and fire hazards that come with using solvents already mentioned above.
As we know: failure to fully remove the solvents will result in a harsh and potentially dangerous contaminated concentrate.
Pressing rosin requires none of this. One of the main benefits of pressing rosin is that it’s cheap to get started in comparison to these other extraction methods.
Rosin has a high THC content
Rosin is the purest medicinal plants concentrate as no solvents are used when making it.
Rosin also has the highest medicinal plants auxins and terpene content. With medicinal plant auxins concentration as high as 70% to 80% all depending on the quality of the starting product with the terpenes contributing mostly to the taste and smell of the rosin but also affecting the high when mixed with the other medicinal plant auxins and the whole entourage effect comes into play.
