It was back in 2015 that Rosin made its entrance into the concentrate market, and in that time, it has become quite popular, but it certainly has the potential to become more widespread. During these last two years, the processing of this unique solvent-free concentrate has led to several new innovations to help with the rising demand of technology to produce the Rosin.
The extract BHO (Butane Hash Oil) was rather popular before the introduction of Rosin, but this was an extract that made use of solvents, and needed a lot of equipment. Plus, it was time consuming to harvest the resin required to make BHO. This is something that Rosin avoids, because it only needs heat and pressure. It also requires less time to process and it is possible to yield some Rosin in just a few seconds.
The Rosin press is central to the Rosin production process. This is basically a machine which produces controlled amounts of heat and pressure. The technology used in the rosin press machine has improved greatly over the last few years from its simple beginnings, and as Rosin becomes more and more popular, the quality of the Rosin Press will only improve.
As explained earlier, to make Rosin, we just need heat, pressure & time. For the process to be successful, it is important to balance the heat, pressure and time to harvest the very best quality Rosin.
In the process of extracting Rosin, it is important to control the heat to ensure that you carefully preserve the terpenes that the Rosin contains. If you set the temperature too high, the terpenes will be destroyed, which leads to a poor final harvest and eco farm rosin press will be unusable. Because of this, you should focus on producing the Rosin at low temperatures to maintain these terpenes and cannabinoids. By reducing the time exposed to very high heats, it will result in the preservation of most of the terpenes, but the only way to guarantee that you will not have any degradation is to complete the process at the lowest possible temperature.
But, when you reduce the heat, the pressure needs to be increased in its place. These high pressures can limit any degradation and keep the terpene and cannabinoid profile stable. The very best rosin press can offer enough pressure so that the process can be completed at the lowest possible temperature to guard against any degradation of the terpenes and the cannabinoids.
