In the world in full expansion of CBD and products derived from cannabis, have good tools is essential To optimize the quality and performance of your extractions. Among these tools, the Pollen press occupies a special place. Today, we are going to look at a particularly effective and popular model: the TO Silver Zinc pollen press.
What is a pollen press?
A Pollen press, also called Kief press Or Hash press, is a tool designed for compress trichomes (crystals rich in cannabinoids) harvested on cannabis plants in a solid and compact form. This process allows you to create hashish or "Pucks" Concentrated CBD.
Operation of a pollen press
The operating principle of a pollen press is relatively simple. It generally consists of a hollow cylinder in which we place pollen or kief, and a piston that we screw to exert pressure. This pressure compact the raw material in a solid form, generally a disc or a cylinder.
Benefits of a silver zinc pollen press
The choice of silver zinc as a material for a pollen press has several advantages:
-
Sustainability : Zinc is a resistant metal that supports repeated pressures well.
-
Hygiene : The silver surface is easy to clean and resists corrosion.
-
Thermal conductivity : Zinc leads heat well, which can be useful for certain extraction techniques.
Characteristics of our Pollen press in T
Our Silver Zinc Pollen press is distinguished by its robustness and effectiveness. It is 8.6 cm high with a 2.8 cm wide cylinder, thus offering an excellent compromise between compactness and capacity.
Ergonomic design
The T shape of the handle is not aesthetic. It allows a Comfortable handling and optimal pressure application. This ergonomic design reduces fatigue during prolonged uses and ensures uniform compression of the equipment.
Capacity and performance
Thanks to its well thought out dimensions, our pollen press can treat a significant amount of raw material in a single operation. This makes one ideal tool for occasional users and CBD professionals looking for greater production.
How to effectively use a pollen press
Before using your Pollen press, Make sure your kief or pollen is dry. Too wet raw material could jeopardize the quality of the final product and potentially damage your press.
Steps of use
- Unscrew your press piston in Pollen.
- Fill the cylinder with your kief or pollen. Do not overload, leave a little space for compression.
- Review the piston gently to start compressing the material.
- Use the T Handle to apply a constant and firm pressure.
- Let stand for a few hours, by tightening periodically if necessary.
- Gently unscrew the piston to recover your compressed "puck".
Tips for optimal results
- Apply the pressure gradually to avoid compressing too much suddenly.
- Experience with different pressing durations to find the consistency that suits you best.
- Clean your press carefully after each use to maintain its effectiveness.
Comparison with other types of presses
Rosin press
Unlike our Pollen press, a Rosin press uses heat and very high pressure to extract oils from cannabis flowers. Although more versatile, A Rosin press is generally more expensive and complex to use than a classic pollen press.
Flower press
Flower presses are designed to compress whole CBD flowers. They are useful for the preparation of certain products, But do not allow to obtain a concentrate as pure as with a pollen press.
Classic manual pollen press
Classic manual pollen presses work on the same principle as our T model, but their design can vary. Our silver zinc press with T handle offers excellent value for money and superior ergonomics to many classic models.
Legal and regulatory aspects
It is important to note that the use of a pollen press must be done in compliance with the legislation in force. In France, only CBD extraction from authorized cannabis varieties and containing less than 0.3% THC is legal. Always make sure to comply with local and national laws concerning the CBD and its derivatives.
