Which Rosin Press Should You Buy?

[Grow]

The main types of press are manual, hydraulic, pneumatic, electric, and hybrid. Each uses a different mechanism to apply the pressure.

What factors should be considered before buying a best rosin press?

The Shape of the Plates – For Ease of Use & Efficiency
Rectangular plates work best. The ideal plate structure of a rosin press is longer and narrower. This is because this shape maximizes the perimeter of your press. A rectangular plate will normally outperform a square one.

Even Heat Distribution – For a Quality Product
Your rosin press should have uniform heat distribution. The way heat works to extract rosin is by melting the trichomes and other essential compounds into a lower viscous form.

Many cheap rosin press machine don’t have even heat distribution across their plates, and this leads to lower quality rosin.

Reliability – Consistent Mechanical Operation
Rosin presses can get pretty pricey. So, it makes sense to only invest in a press that will last you years to come.

So let's take a look at the representative products of each category of manual presses, hydraulic, pneumatic, electric and hand-held presses.

Manual Rosin Presses
The manual press is an entry-level press. The pressure is generated by the pull-down rod or through the twisting operation. To choose a press less than $300, a manual press will be the best choice.

Hydraulic Rosin Presses

Hydraulic rosin presses are probably the most common type of rosin press on the market. As opposed to manual pressing, these use hydraulic pressure, generated either by a hand pump, foot pump, or even an electric pump. These can be used by both home growers and commercial extractors.

Pneumatic Rosin Presses
Pneumatic Rosin Presses are top of the line Rosin Presses that use a pneumatic cylinder that requires no oiling or maintenance and through their unique design are able to achieve 5 to 25 tons of pressure with the use of an air compressor.

Electric Rosin Presses
Electric rosin presses are great because they don’t require a pump that can take up extra space – just plug it into a wall. This style of rosin press is sort of new to the extraction industry, but is quickly gaining favor, especially with hobby growers and home extractors.

The reason for this is that it doesn’t require any sort of air compressor. They are plug-and-play, typically featuring built in electronic pressure control.
