What types of presses does Qnubu offer and what are they designed for?

Qnubu offers a wide variety of presses for rosin extraction, designed for both personal and professional use.

• Manual presses:
  Such as the Qnubu Kompact 2.0, ideal for small quantities and more direct handling.
• Automatic presses:
  Such as the Qnubu Auto Lion 20 Ton, designed for large-scale extractions with advanced features like dual plates and an automatic opening system.

What are the main differences between a manual and an automatic press?

• Manual:
  Offers manual control over pressure and is more compact, such as the Kompact 2.0, which has a maximum pressure of 600 kg.
• Automatic:
  Has a higher pressure capacity (up to 20 tons), automatic time and temperature settings, and is more suitable for intensive use.

What features should you consider when choosing a press?

When choosing a press, it’s important to evaluate:

• Maximum pressure:
  For larger extractions, a higher-capacity press like the Qnubu Auto Lion (20 tons) is ideal.
• Plate size:
  Determines the amount of material you can process in one press.
• Temperature:
  Presses offer dual control for precise extraction, between 0-200 °C. Qnubu presses allow you to easily program the desired temperature for optimal results.
• Portability:
  Manual presses, like the Kompact, are lighter and easier to transport.
• Time:
  Selecting the pressing time is essential. Qnubu presses allow you to configure the desired seconds, activating a timer and sounding an alarm when the process is complete.

How does the solventless extraction technique (rosin) work using Qnubu pressure and temperature presses?

The solventless extraction technique (rosin) involves applying controlled pressure and heat to plant material, concentrates, or resins to produce high-quality extracts without chemicals. This method is valued for its cleanliness and simplicity. Below are the main steps using Qnubu presses:

1. Material preparation:
   Use dry flowers, kief, or clean hash. The moisture content should be balanced to avoid burning or low extraction.

2. Material protection:
   Place the material in bags to filter plant matter from the extraction. Choose the appropriate micron size according to your preference.
   Place the material between sheets of non-stick paper or extraction paper suitable for high temperatures and pressure, protecting the press plates.

3. Press setup:
   Adjust the plate temperature based on the material type. Generally, 85-105 °C is recommended to maximize extraction without damaging terpenes.
   Set the pressing time, usually between 20 and 90 seconds, depending on the quantity and type of material.

4. Pressing:
   Place the package in the press, secure the pressure with the handle (manual) or the hydraulic system (automatic), and activate the timer.
   The plates apply uniform pressure to release the material's essential oils.

5. Rosin collection:
   Carefully remove the extraction paper and collect the rosin with a suitable tool (Dabber). The final product is a clean extract ready for use.
