Manual Rosin Press
A manual eco farm rosin press is usually compact in size and design. As it has no external forces that could amount to pressure, they are designed to use the user’s body weight to press the raw material and extract concentrates.
This type of rosin press is widely preferred by people looking for something simple that allows them to extract at home without any bells and whistles. As the units are usually small, they are easily stowed away and set up, and they are very easy to operate.
If you want a rosin press machine that is small, lightweight, and simple in its operation, or if you’re just looking to dip your does into the world of at-home extraction, you should look into a good manual rosin press.
Pneumatic Rosin Press
A pneumatic rosin press is a big step up from a best rosin press as it is complete with much more technology, and presses the raw material automatically. They are larger in size, need electricity to operate, and apply almost 1000 times more pressure than manual presses.
A defining factor of a pneumatic press is the way it applies pressure. Like any pneumatic press, it uses high-pressure air to apply pressure, and so gives a quick and consistent amount of pressure throughout the extraction process.
Pneumatic presses are great for people looking for a quick high-pressure press that can extract both flowers and dry sift at high yields. They are significantly larger than manual presses, so you should definitely consider that factor. But if the size is of no consequence, you could start out with a pneumatic press instead of a manual press if you’re already serious about making your own concentrates.
Hydraulic Rosin Press
Hydraulic presses use the pressure caused by putting a plunger into a contained liquid, putting Pascal’s law into full effect. These are good to use when you want an incredibly high amount of pressure in a small amount of time.
This type of Rosin press can either be manually adjusted or can be automatic, and this allows you to choose which you find to be the best for you. After that, they’re quite easy to operate, and they give you a great view of the concentrates being extracted, which is always fun to watch.
There is one little factor that isn’t in a hydraulic rosin press’ favour, and that is the fact that the yield from a hydraulic press can be much lower than expected. What you need to do is experiment with different temperatures and pressures with each strain of herb in order to make sure the yield is as high as possible. But once you have those things down, you’ll be golden!
