This assembly is a collection of components designed for the extraction of botanical concentrates using heat and pressure. The primary components typically include two heated metal plates, a mechanism for applying force, and often, a temperature control system. These kits are used to process materials like plant matter, separating the desired resins from the original substrate.
Employing this methodology offers several advantages, including solventless extraction, which results in a purer end product free from chemical residues. The approach dates back to simplified, low-pressure techniques but has evolved with technological advancements to enable greater precision and control. The resulting concentrates are often valued for their flavor profiles and potency.
