I'm interested too, so I asked Mr Google and here's one opinion

This lot sell the equipment, so I'm not sure how genuine the opinion is but it'll give ya an idea.
I wouldn't be buying from them, I found a hash tumbler for $2600 US :eek: WTF. It'd want to cook my dinner at that price 🤣
You could make the same thing yourself for $200-300.
Shop around, I'm sure you'll find cheaper.

Nug smasher seems to be the most prolific online. Honeycomb press is another in Australia. I haven't used any products from these places. I'm sure someone with hands on experience with certain machines will chime in eventually

I had a look at the Easypresso 7 ton.
The plates are 15x6cm. Seems to be long and narrow where other presses i have seen online the plates have more width and less length.
Is there any issue here or am i dreaming ?

thanks mate, was lookin for that thread..

thinkin this one https://honeycombpress.com.au/colle...rosin-press-7-tonne-hydraulic-honeycomb-press

same one , different brand https://redcliffevape.com.au/collec...ducts/easypresso-7-tons-hydraulic-rosin-press

might take a drive to Redcliffe this weekend...;)

I have the same press, but from yet another brand. Built like a tank and will probably last a long time. It's heavy to lug around and I wish I had a permanent pressing station. The only thing I don't like about it is that it does not have a pressure gauge. I didn't understand that when I bought mine. I've got good heat control, but completely guessing on the pressure. I slowly build up the pressure during the press, until my arthritis elbows say no more.

Thatta boy, go forth and squish! I bet you get a bunch of wildly different recommendations, like everything else regarding home growing. I'll throw my SOP out there as something to get you started and other people to argue about :D

120um or 90um bags (I haven't noticed a great difference in the results)
82C
First 30sec I very lightly compress to warm up the goods
Then 3mins squish, gradually working up the pressure until my arm complains

I break up the buds with my fingers to about medium blueberry size. DO NOT use a grinder, that was a total fail! Make sure to fill the corners of the bag and along the seems, otherwise rosin gets stuck in there rather than on your wax paper.

Ah nice looking press 👍 lol I stole my daughters hair straightener one day while she was out just to have a dab in rosin. Was surprised how it worked but very fidly and a pain in the arse to get decent amounts. Hmmmm … I have half the hardware to make one of those 🤔 nooooo, brain, don’t even entertain those thoughts 😂

Good luck and keen to see ya results mate 👍

Good info.
What size bags are you using ? and what amounts ? And what size are your plates ?
Thanks.

Give us a review Dotts, when you crank her up. 😎Simple process to produce clean concentrate is appealing
