@pxl_jockey @Hogni @psychonaut thanks for the welcome! @dabpress.com I'l definitely get a review up once I've got rosining.
Dabpress Rosin Plates
- Thread starter dabpress.com
- Start date
@Hogni I am working on rosin filters, outside of dabpress. Roger would prefer to focus mostly on rosin press kits and accessories (non-consumables). I am in the process of testing a number of different microns and so far the testing is going well, but I wanna make sure the filters are up to the task. These filters wouldn't be sold under dabpress brand, but it will likely be a bit before they are ready. I am working alongside Roger to source the best filters. ETA is unknown at this point as a large order needs to be made prior to release. There are also a number of filter manufacturers out there already with very affordable filters. It may be hard to offer competitive pricing as it seems a number of dealers are already selling very close to cost.
On the subject of filters, are there any preferences on micron size? So far we are testing 25, 37, 50, 90, 120 and 160u.

50u for the cream of the crop!

Is there any more info on the next drip tech version I read about earlier in the thread @psychonaut ? I'm still looking to get the SS 10 ton with a ram pump come November, want to be pressing way before Christmas get the stock levels up.
Last week Roger posted this:
So mid November it looks like, it will also include the coupler to attach a strongway 10-ton pump with gauge.

In what ways would this 10 ton pump differ from a dake b 10? So that I understand correctly, is this a 10 ton press?
It's cheaper, and has the gauge integrated into the pump
There is a little bit of math to figure out the PSI but it's not complicated. Both pumps have a 10-ton capacity, but having used both I can feel a difference in quality with this pump, it seems to not have as fluid of movement when depressing the handle. On the other hand, this pump has some great safety features documented and is easy to operate. Size wise it is approx the same.
The press itself is the dp-hr10t35v which will be in a similar build and form factor as the dp-bj3t33 unit, with drip tech capability. Instead of the bottle jack for hydraulics it will operate with a 10-ton cylinder like what is installed in the dake b-10 press. 3x5" plates.
Once I have some pictures I'll post them, may be a couple of weeks as we get closer to release.
Good call! I got my pump in 5 business days when I ordered on Amazon (sold by Northern Tool and Equip). Are you looking at the hr10t35 (mini) or hr10t35v (drip tech)?

Science...Whoo!
I started looking a couple minutes ago and stumbled onto it on Amazon actually. Went ahead and ordered it! I’m looking at the one with drip tech, I would love to preserve as many terps as possible. I would hate to regret not getting it and later wanting it. I see it’s already on the website with no pics of course, but ready to be released! Can’t wait! I got some more rosin from a store yesterday that had the most orange taste I’ve ever had!
Right on!
You may be seeing the old discontinued 10-ton AIO unit hp10t257 pro. The newer driptech hr10t35v will have details posted as they become available. Now you are getting me excited, I have some orange hill special that's drying, I cant wait to press some of that out.
This morning I needed to squish some daytime meds, so also decided it was a good time to do a lil comparison.
How does pressure affect the color and yields of rosin?
I have some autoxtreme that's been in cure for about 3 or 4 months now, really smooth, just not super duper potent. The bigger pheno had way better buds. I broke the buds down into 0.25-0.75g chunks and pre-pressed them in the pm3015r cylinder pre-press mold, using the 160u rosin filter sleeve bt160n cut down to about 3" Stuffed each filter with 5g of buds and pressed them separately. Both pressings were done at the same temperature 200F, for the same amount of time 3m. My pressing room was is very cold right now, right about 35F when I powered on the hr10t35 press.
* The first press was done at 2500 PSI on the Strongway pump which calculates to 2833 PSI if my math is right (167kg/cm2 * 18.46 (cylinder) = 3083kg = 6800lb / 1.75" dia puck = 2.40 sq/in = 2833 PSI on the puck)
The rosin was a fair bit darker as you can see, 5g in 0.51g out, 10.2%
The rosin was a fair bit darker as you can see, 5g in 0.51g out, 10.2%
* The second press was done at 2000 PSI on the strongway gauge, which calculates to 2300 PSI on the puck.
The rosin color was a couple shades lighter at least, 5g in 0.52 out, 10.4%
The rosin color was a couple shades lighter at least, 5g in 0.52 out, 10.4%
The pressing on the left is the higher pressure of the two.
In this particular test it is clear to me that using less pressure is more beneficial.

Got my Gauge installed and going...works like a charm
Any links for this gauge?
I believe that's the enerpac G2535L gauge, not 100% positive though as I dunno what gauge adapter @gunmetalshark uses. I seen it used with the enerpac GA2 adapter.

Yeah I just searched for ‘hr10t35v’ on the website and it came up with it. The description mentions drip tek and the adapter for the strongway, I think those are new features. No pics or anything, but definitely cool to read about it and what is in the works. Man I love seeing your presses, can’t wait to try myself!
Ill have to give the lower pressure a go next run. Ive been between 2000-2500 PSI for smaller loads. Are you increasing your pressing time?
Very cool! It'll be a great lil powerhouse! Will get pictures posted here once they're finished.

Yeah, althought its great quality it carries a hefty pricetag (more then the pump) so i dunno if its really a "good" option 
I've settled on 1.5 minutes including ramp up time. I'm usually pressing 5g at a time, first press yields 25+% and 2nd press (@ same pressure yields about an extra 1-2% ... not really worth it ... lol)
Typical yields are 1.25-1.5g.
I've tried different pressing times up to about 3.5 minutes with no noticeable increases in yields ... (why I've settled on 1.5 minutes)
Has a lot to do with material as well ... I've had some strains yield less than 5% ...
... I've settled on my 2 primary strains that I press right now and that suits my needs and yields and consistency on those are good (and repeatable)

Ouch! I have a Strongway pump incoming so the dp-cp390 will be a backup. I figured if it was only $50 or so I'd order one but at more than twice what I paid for the pump I'll pass. On the other hand it might be the cheaper option depending on how bad I get raped on duties crossing the boarder. Chinese pump shipping out of the US to Canada is pretty much the worst way to do it. lol
