Why did we choose Nugsmasher?

The Nugsmasher® family of presses are purpose built machines exclusively designed for Rosin extraction. After years of researching and testing, talking with rosin connoisseurs together with our design and engineering team, they have put together an impressive set of features needed for the perfect and consistent extraction process.

What is Rosin and how do you make it?

Rosin is a solventless extraction made through the mechanical process of applying heat and pressure to “press” out the terpene and cannabinoid rich resin from cured flower, sift, kief and hash. This process occurs near instantaneously and requires virtually no professional expertise in the field of botanical extractions. The art of extracting Rosin uses heat to melt the glandular domes of the trichrome off of the base material. This resin rich sap will then reconstitute on the parchment paper, ready for collection. After scraping the parchment paper, the waxy residue collected will be clean and ready to dab.

What is Solvent-less Rosin? Solvent-less vs Solvent Based

Chances are you’ve heard of cannabis concentrates at this point. If not, you’ve definitely heard your friends talk about “dabs.” If not, you should definitely get out from that rock you’ve been under for the past decade. But let’s talk about these dabs for a minute.

The easy answer to the difference between solvent-based and solventless concentrates is simple – one requires the use of a solvent during extraction while the other does not.

While this may seem like a minor difference, it changes everything from the process to the final product. 

What solvents are being used to extract those delicious concentrates, you ask? Butane(BHO), Propane(PHO), Carbon Dioxide(CO2) and Rick Simpson Oil(RSO) to name a few. These are, by no means, healthy compounds to be inhaling and or ingesting, which is  why the solvent-based method includes a necessary purging process to remove solvents. 

The solvent-free method requires no solvent or purging process. To extract a cannabis concentrate known as rosin, it requires nothing more than heat and pressure.
