Industrial Scale Rosin Pressing

Industrial Scale Rosin Pressing

Our Sasquash Yeti Rosin Press uses two heated metal plates that apply firm, even pressure to press cannabis flower or hash with enough force to cause the cannabinoids and terpenes to ooze out of the trichomes in an oily, resinous form called rosin.

Its 55- ton hydraulic ram can produce up to 100,00 pounds of pressure and can squash up to six pounds of hash in a single press. It allows you to go from flower or hash to rosin fairly quickly since it uses no solvents and thus needs no purging process.

Tropical Sunset Farms uses live rosin and hash as material press inputs. Live rosin is made with fresh frozen flower, which means that the plant has fresh trichomes and terpenes.

The plant is harvested, and any excess leaves are removed. Then it is instantly placed in a freezer for at least 24-hours. It is said that flower generally produces more flavorful rosin, but there are still many lipids that can cause degradation to occur, and a lot of the product’s quality is lost. Kief or hash rosin is known to be more potent. To contain the plant material, and keep it out of the final product, we use rosin bags.

The bags rest directly on a piece of parchment paper between the top and bottom metal plates. It hangs over the bottom plates edge and is folded into a triangle form that is directed into a mason jar that catches the oozing rosin.

The Press applies heat and pressure to melt off the glandular domes of the trichrome from the flower's base material.

Once all the rosin has been pressed out, the mason jars are then placed in a refrigerator to cool down

75-Gallon Osprey Bubble Hash Machine

75-Gallon Osprey Bubble Hash Machine

In a search for the best possible way to make our products we decided upon processing the most beneficial parts of the hemp flower. Keeping vital components like Phyto Nutrients, Terpenes, and Canabinoids in tact and in higher concentrations in order to achieve a higher level of quality products. 

This machine has the capacity for 21,000g of Fresh Frozen and was designed to thoroughly, yet gently, extract all the resin from our material, unlike other machines that can be extremely aggressive during the agitation process.

Thankfully, the Osprey machine has eliminated all of the aggressive aspects of washing.

The Ospreys rounded square design disrupts the horizontal vortex and makes a constant vertical vortex, unlike most circular devices. 75-Gallon Osprey Bubble Hash Machine With a constant vertical vortex, we leave our materials with no dead spots.

That means each individual bud receives the same amount of agitation throughout the wash, so no sides go untouched. This leaves us with a more effective and efficient wash. This can translate itself to higher yields than other forms of ice water extraction.

What takes some machines and practices 12+ hours a day to complete, our Osprey machine can do in less than 2 hours while still maintaining quality We have paired our Osprey machine with the Nest, which is an 85-gallon stainless steel re-circulation collection tank.

You simply drain the Osprey machine water into the nest through the 32-gallon micron bags and fire up the re-circulation pump to move the filtered water back into the Osprey machine for the next wash.

It is relatively unsafe to pick up/pour 50 gallons of water back into the Osprey’s lid at 60” between every wash, so the nest keeps our employees safe from any injuries acquired by heavy lifting of multiple buckets of water daily and makes this stage of processing as efficient as possible

What Is Hemp Rosin?

What Is Hemp Rosin?

Rosin is a term used to describe the extracted compounds from cannabis plants. It is one of the few methods that can extract the essential components from the plant without using harsh solvents. This method naturally preserves the cannabinoid and terpene profiles which allows for the creation of some highest quality products.
 
Rosin has a consistency like honey or wax and is produced by placing the plant material in between a hydraulic press that applies low temperature and squeezes the rosin off/out of the plant. By controlling the temperature and pressure, you are able to extract all the important compounds without damaging or degrading them in the process.
The extracted rosin can then be used in many types of products and recipe

Organically & Sustainably Grown

Organically & Sustainably Grown

We believe that as farmers we have a heightened responsibility to practice sustainability in every step of our process. Growing cannabis indoors under high powered lights and fans never made much sense to us and the ecological footprint it leaves backs that up. Some cannabis farms claim the only way to grow cannabis that tests clean is to grow inside but we have the proof in that it can be done, as we pass all the same tests for any contaminants with the strictest state guidelines in the USA.
 
We also believe that organic farming techniques bring out desired qualities in many plants that cannot be achieved with conventional growing methods. Organic growing is all about keeping the plants healthy and strong, which makes them more able to naturally defend themselves and thrive. Common feedback is that it brings out more flavor and a product is generally smoother. By using all organic amendments, you can better understand what goes into making our products because we use ingredients that you can recognize, unlike many synthetic fertilizers that are petroleum based and decline to share their full ingredients list.
 
We are currently in the process to have our farm USDA Certified Organic and will include this on our packaging when completed
