The 25 micron bags I use, I started withb7g keif, was too much and had blow outs. 5g is just about perfect. I have 5g of my personal bubble im.pressing tonight. Next time I'll try pressing trim, and see how the yeilds are for that. Dry ice extracting keif, then filling bags is very time-consuming. Tried some last night and was outstanding.

I am building 2 new kief tumblers like my old one. Just pug & play. Fill with trim, turn on the rotisserie motor & walk away. 30mins you have your dry sieve kief for pressing.

The tumbles seems like a great idea, but I need on on a MUCH larger scale. Lol. 5 gallon bucket side or bigger.
The 5gl bucket will hold several lbs of trim & you only tumble for 15-30min. That's about 5lbs an hr, & I am building 2....that's 10lbs per hr = 80lbs a day...... how much you got?

You can get everything from Home Depot, except the metal screen.
1 plastic tub
1 5gl bucket w/lid
1 electric bbq rotisserie set
2 plastic zip ties
1 duct tape

drill a hole in the lid & bottom of the bucket to allow the rotisserie rod to pass thru. Use the prongs on the rotisserie forks to poke 2 small holes in the top & bottom, this will allow the motor to turn the bucket. Mount the rotisserie motor mount & the other metal mount to either side of the plastic tub by drilling holes in the plastic & use the zip ties. You can lift the bucket on & off the tub. Cut away much of the sides of the bucket & wrap the screen around & duct tape securely...

I was looking into phenumatic t shirt presses, but they only go to 2000psi & to get the best squish you need much more pressure & then you can use less heat to get the best product. so I bought a 20 ton shop press...

Yes, that will work. But if you want *5*star rosin you need much lower heat (180*-130*) & tons of pressure. With more pressure you can use less heat & press for a longer time & get a higher quality product.
Do you get more product? Whats the return like?
