What is a Rosin Press?

If you are new to what a rosin press is, in the simplest terms it is a machine that uses heat and pressure combined to extract cannabinoids from the cannabis plants itself. 2 Plates heated to a particular temperature are pressed together under pressure to extract the material from the cannabis plants without the use of dangerous chemicals that act as a solvent.

Rosin presses allow you to process cannabis extracts without the use of dangerous solvents and create a purer final product that rivals traditional hydrocarbon extracts. This has recently made the rosin press a popular choice for making dabs, or oil for vaping with its simplicity and safer weed consumption.

There are many styles of rosin presses for sale, from mini rosin presses to DIY presses made from a hair straightener. Some will yield better than others with many considerations from price, heat, and pressure.

Hydraulic Rosin Press

Typical hydraulic rosin presses use hand pumps but with hydraulic pressure in order to make the process of extracting cannabinoids easier and less taxing on your muscles. Cylinders inside the pump do most of the heavy lifting. This style is the best rosin press for rosin but they typically cost a bit more. A personal rosin press such as a hydraulic press will save you time and energy.

These types of heat presses range from 5 to 20 tons of pressure while weighing less than pneumatic versions giving them portability. These are perfect for home use rather than commercial applications as you need to still use a hand crank to work the machine.

Dabpress 6 Ton Hydraulic Rosin Press Review

Below are some product shoes of the Dabpress 6 Ton Hydraulic Press that I found on the web. Click the image to see a larger version!

Our top pick for the best hydraulic rosin press is the Dabpress 6 Ton Hydraulic Bottle Jack Heat Press. It has an H-shaped steel cage that allows for laying the machine on its side for easier extraction. The cage itself is well built and can be easily upgraded with a DIY kit for more pressure should you need it. It also has a decent plate size for added materials.

[easyazon_image align=”center” height=”500″ identifier=”B07KQ3QB9N” locale=”US” src=”https://xh7ne18ak5l18it2y40wwen1-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/41RA7gPxj7L.jpg” tag=”420greenthumb-20″ width=”500″]

The press plates are sturdy and food-grade quality aluminum that allows for even heating across the surface that makes for repeatable results.

Pneumatic Rosin Press

The Pneumatic rosin press is perfect for commercial rosin press use as they are typically the biggest and heaviest of all presses available on the market. Made from solid steel, they will also require an air compressor in order to operate. If you have a large volume of flowers to process into tasty dabs then pneumatic is the way to go coupled with a decent air compressor.

Be warned, they are loud and purchasing a compressor will add to its final cost. As for home rosin pressers, these will not make sense to purchase, however, a hybrid rosin press might be an answer if you fall into this category.

With zero hand cranking and precise control, these are the upscale models you will need for high yields of extract.

8″ x 6″ Pneumatic Heat Press by CA Heat Press

Below are some product shoes of the 8″ x 6″ Pneumatic Heat Rosin Press that I found on the web. Click the image to see a larger version!

One of our favorite solid steel pneumatic rosin presses is the 8″ x 6″ Pneumatic Heat Press by CA Heat Press.

[easyazon_image align=”center” height=”333″ identifier=”B01N3JK0PV” locale=”US” src=”https://xh7ne18ak5l18it2y40wwen1-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/31eGoHE52GL.jpg” tag=”420greenthumb-20″ width=”500″]

It incorporates 6 x 8-inch heating plates with dual temperature controls for consistent extract every time. CA Heat Press is very customer-focused should you have any problems with this heat press. Typical users report a 25% yield while operating this machine and that it is comparable or better than the NugSmasher pro or Sasquatch rosin presses as long as you have an air compressor that gives enough air supply for the length of time required for pressing.

Affordable Rosin Presses

If saving money on a quality press is at the top of your list, there are a couple of tips you should be aware of.

There are a couple of low price best rosin presses on the market that combine quality at a cheap price. More than likely if you are on a budget you will want to look at some manual presses that require hand-cranking which will lower the price. If you are only pressing small quantities of cannabis then this is an ideal way to go for a budget-minded grower and producer of rosins.

Here is our top choice for a cheap rosin press for sale:

Rosin Press Cheap – Dulytek DM800 Personal Heat Press

Below are some product shoes of the Dulytek DM800 Personal Heat Rosin Press that I found on the web. Click the image to see a larger version!

This solid steel Dulytek model uses manual pressure to squeeze as much as possible out of plant material for consistent rosin every time. The nice thing about this affordable press is because of its durability and size it is easily portable.

[easyazon_image align=”center” cart=”n” height=”500″ identifier=”B07JMYBLPF” locale=”US” src=”https://xh7ne18ak5l18it2y40wwen1-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/41TmjbU9OnL.jpg” tag=”420greenthumb-20″ width=”500″]

Dulytek is known for its weed press machine quality at good prices. The DM800 is no exception when it comes to easy controls with this dab press. If you have ever asked the question, “What is rosin weed?“, the Dulytek DM800 will show you really fast.

The DM800 is our pick for best budget rosin press, as it does a great job with its aluminum heat plates with easy temperature control and manual lever that allows for even pressure.

Best Electric Rosin Press

If you are looking towards a electric presses, you probably understand that electricity can mean many things in the market place. We define an electric rosin press as a press that uses electrical controls for temperature control and pressure to help maximize yields via the instrumentation. This is the best rosin press if you love control and makes for a perfect personal rosin press that supplies a lot of pressure.

Our top choice for the best electric press:

Dulytek DHP7 V3 Hydraulic Press Machine

Below are some product shoes of the Dulytek DHP7 V3 Rosin Press that I found on the web. Click the image to see a larger version!

Again, Dulytek makes it on our list for the best electric rosin press with the DHP7 V3 heat press machine.

[easyazon_image align=”center” cart=”n” height=”500″ identifier=”B07PBD1RH2″ locale=”US” src=”https://xh7ne18ak5l18it2y40wwen1-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/41mTV4suxFL.jpg” tag=”420greenthumb-20″ width=”500″]

This press is by far one of the easy ones to operate with its flat panel screen display offering tons of pressure. The press is also lightweight and offers some power-saving modes to save on electricity costs. Also, you can purchase the rotating stand separately in order to tilt the rosin press horizontal for a less messy extraction of rosin.

It comes with everything you need (minus the stand) to get started pressing rosin from plants. No air compressor is needed for operation as it uses a simple hydraulic press to flatten its contents, up to 7 tons.

Portable Rosin Press

A portable rosin press should be one that is lightweight, conveniently stored when not in use, and of course, do its job of pressing rosin efficiently and with good yields to boot.

There are many varieties of portable rosin presses on the market. One of our favorites is the Electric Portable Heat Press by Golden Elephant, which looks less industrial than the other models on our list and performance at an optimal level.

Electric Portable Heat Press by Golden Elephant

[easyazon_image align=”none” cart=”n” height=”500″ identifier=”B0817HL5B2″ locale=”US” src=”https://xh7ne18ak5l18it2y40wwen1-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/51zsiKoXsgL.jpg” tag=”420greenthumb-20″ width=”500″]

This electric heat press costs less than $700 typically and looks the part. It really is one of the most beautiful presses we’ve seen. Complete with an intuitive LCD display which reads temps in both Fahrenheit and Celsius.

The double heating plate can produce rosin with its adjustable high temp dual plates along with its appropriate and consistent LCD read-outs for perfect product every time. This portable rosin press comes with everything you need to get started as well as a clever carrying case to match. Moving it from one place to another is easy to do.

The Golden Elephant portable heat press can bring temps up to 250 degrees Fahrenheit and is made with an iron shell and ergonomically designed. The size of the heat plate is about 8 centimeters which allow for a good amount of rosin with each press to be produced. Not huge, but it gets the job done.

Manual Rosin Press

The joy from a manual rosin press comes from the lower price points, as these types of presses do not use air compressors or allow for easy operation. They are the no-frills presses that require a strong and steady arm to operate. Without the typical components of an electric or pneumatic press, they will save you money but require careful patience while operating. Still, they produce high yields but will require a bit of practice to get the hang of.

Our top contender for the manual rosin press category is the YaeTek Heat Press Machine

YaeTek Heat Press Machine

Below are some product shoes of the YaeTek Heat Press that I found on the web. Click the image to see a larger version!

YaeTek’s take on the manual rosin press is a strong addition to its model line-up for its price point and the quality rosin it produces. It uses a hand crank in order to smash plant material and extract rosin. It does take a bit of effort, but the built-in timer and temp controls give you good consistency at under $300, which is not bad. We love the price and as for manual presses go, this is the best rosin press for those that like to manually squeeze rosin from plant materials.

[easyazon_image align=”center” cart=”n” height=”333″ identifier=”B07KGQVTMY” locale=”US” src=”https://xh7ne18ak5l18it2y40wwen1-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/41JGdTt1RfL.jpg” tag=”420greenthumb-20″ width=”500″]

It also has a large surface area with its top and bottom plates that allows this rosin press to handle more extraction within its pressing area. It is fairly large and heavier than our portable model and has an industrial feel to it but is still somewhat portable when needed.

This press does have a built-in pressure gauge setting but no gauge read-out like the Nugsmasher mini so starting with attention to detail during the extraction process is a must. Be sure to take lots of notes while using a manual rosin press as human error can eliminate good yields. Once you learn how this nugsmasher mini press operates you will be pleased with the results.

Every part of this rosin press machine, from the stainless steel to the temp settings is well thought out and the CNC machined in house. Start by using a small amount of starting material to get a feel for things and from there, with good notes about rosin press temp and time, this marijuana rosin press will soon become your favorite as you get the consistency down pat.

DIY Rosin Press Kit

DIY Rosin presses can be made using a hair straightener and some C-clamps for a super cheap rosin press, but the drawbacks for these are huge. Typically these types of presses (if we can call it that will only yield up to 7% if you’re lucky. You will end up paying more down the road as the waste of plant material will cost you as getting tons of pressure from a homemade press can be very difficult.

There is a cheap alternative to this. If you are just starting out you may want to consider starting with a cheap rosin press using a hand pump and heated plates, and then upgrading it using a rosin press kit down the road. They come in many shapes and sizes but because many rosin presses are modular in design they can be retrofitted with upgrades like better heated plates, making it a great personal use press to make rosin.

This is a great way to create a budget rosin press.

Best Rosin Press Kit – The Dabpress 3 x 5 Upgrade Kit

Below are some product shoes of the Dabpress 3 x 5 Upgrade Kit that I found on the web. Click the image to see a larger version!

One such upgrade kit on the high end for presses is the Dab Press model that is easily retrofitted onto a compatible stand. This is perfect for those that, down the line, become experienced with pressing and wish to upgrade their yields and take high quality rosin pressing to the next level.
