This is a clamshell heat press that comes with a simple skeletal design that includes two heated plates, a manual pump arm, and a digital temperature control. The rosin press is created to extract cannabis concentrate from raw cannabis. The rosin press is designed, manufactured and tested by Tuopuke, a U.S.-based popular manufacturer of rosin presses of very high quality.
Features
It’s made of resistant materials
This clamshell heat rosin press is made from high-grade stain-resistant materials. Its high-quality components will make sure that the rosin press has an increased resistance, durability and an overall lifespan.
Increased portability
This rosin press weighs about 33.8 pounds, and it is a bit lighter compared to other models available on the market. Due to its lighter weight, the machine is portable enough to be carried and moved around easily.
Square press plates
The smash plates measure five by five inches, and they are both coated with a non-stick material. This feature comes quite in hand because the slow-flowing cannabis extract can usually stain the plates really easily and a non-stick material can prevent this from happening.
Digital temperature controller
Both plates are heated, and the temperature can be carefully regulated with the help of the digital temperature controller from the machine’s control box. The temperature range of these plates is situated between 1 to 415 degrees Fahrenheit.
Digital automatic timer
The Quick Clamps comes with an electronic digital timer that will turn out very useful. It will successfully help you make sure that the cannabis materials will not stay longer than it’s recommended between the clamped plates. If the material remains longer than necessary, it will get burned. The time control indicates when a set press cycle is finished, and the final product is made.
Pressures up to 1200 PSI
The power levels of the Quick Clamps machine are exquisite. The rosin press can generate pressures of around 1200 PSI, and this is a lot considering the machine’s dimensions.
First impression
After this black-colored extractor machine arrived at my place, I was surprised to see that it’s not that heavy and I was able to move and carry it by myself. It turned out to be even lighter than other rosin presses I have worked with before, and I loved the fact that it’s so portable. Its compact design allowed me to use it as a tabletop cannabis oil extractor. I also liked the fact that the Quick Clamps came with square press plates that are coated with a non-stick material because this really helps protect the plates from stains from the cannabis extract. With the help of the timer that is included in the machine, I was able to make sure that the cannabis materials don’t stay too long between the clamped press plates and this way I never burned my material while using this press. It happened to me a while ago when I was still using my old rosin press, and it wasn’t too great to see all my work ruined by a pair of smash plates that burned my whole material. Usually, the cannabis oil flows poorly on square plates, and it can solidify while the press plates are clamped. This is the exact reason for which this automatic digital timer engages a release mechanism that disengages the clamps. The result is the fact that the bottom press plate can descend and nothing bad happens with the final product and with the plates as well.
This rosin press is designed to work with 110-120 Volts power sources, and the power levels are also okay, and I was delighted with the fact that it can generate pressures of up to 1200 PSI.
Another important thing you should know is that you have to place the raw cannabis inside a parchment paper because this will allow the particulate-free oil to flow from the pressed cannabis. You will see that the yield of cannabis oil depends on how long the pressed cannabis is held in place under high pressure between the press plates. For me, usually, 60 to 90 seconds is quite enough time. I didn’t experience any troubles while using this rosin press, so I can say that overall I am satisfied with it and I would definitely recommend it to any enthusiast.
