Technical Explanation

Recipe Cycle: Stages L - 6

• A. Liquify Stage (L): Pre-Press / Liquify resin glands with 0 PSI
• • Avoid excessive jolt time, as this may add pressure to the material, during the liquefy stage. If pressure is added, the next stage(s) can be skipped. To avoid, calibrate the jolt time to set the plate height to the thickness of the pouch.
  • • Warm & Quick (W&Q) Press: 5-15 Seconds
    • Slow & Low (S&L) Press: 10-45 Seconds
• B. Stage 1: Minimize the amount of pressure applied.
• • Test run a cycle before processing material to confirm a minimal P.S.I set point (16psi in example) stops within the tolerance.
  • • Warm & Quick (W&Q) Press: 10 Seconds / 40 PSI
    • Slow & Low (S&L) Press: 90 Seconds / 25 PSI
• C. Stage 2: Begin ramping of pressure.
• • At this point the resin glands are liquefied, and a pressure ramp will push liquefied resin (Rosin) through the filter screens, and into the parchment paper “gutters” flowing towards the opening.
  • • Warm & Quick (W&Q) Press: 15 Seconds / 40 PSI
    • Slow & Low (S&L) Press: 60 Seconds / 25 PSI
• D. Stage 3: Soft pressure ramp.
• • Monitor the collection cavity as rosin should begin to flow, if it has not started to flow in stage II already. A fast ramping cycle doubles the pressure each stage, yet a slower ramp simply added a small PSI increase each stage.
  • • Warm & Quick (W&Q) Press: 15 Seconds / 95 PSI
    • Slow & Low (S&L) Press: 60 Seconds / 45 PSI
• E. Stage 4: Continue pressure ramping.
• • If the flow of rosin slows, +PSI during the cycle, and increase the PSI in the previous stage, or shorten the time in this stage.
  • • Warm & Quick (W&Q) Press: 15 Seconds / 125 PSI
    • Slow & Low (S&L) Press: 45 Seconds / 60 PSI
• F. Stage 5: Continue pressure ramping.
• If the flow or drops of rosin slow down the cycle is over, and can be expedited by pressing SKIP or FINISH. The cycle will complete after last stage with a time input.
