What is TRUE SOLVENTLESS™️?
True Solventless is used to describe Hash Cru’s solventless intellectual property, hardware, and hashish products produced using traditional sieving techniques. These processes are solvent- and plasma-free, preserving trichome chemistry and resin integrity.
TRUE SOLVENTLESS Hardware and SOP's:
NAKED PRESS: HASH CRU has developed the first production scale bagless and parchment free rosin press. This press used no nylon bags, no stainless steel mesh wrap, and no parchment paper to produce rosin from hash. The Naked Press design eliminates the need for single use consumables, reduces work flow, and increases yields/return to rosin from hash (over traditional double or triple bagged press techniques). The press was designed with lean manufacturing and six sigma process principles. The process of pressing "naked" reduces the workflow, labor, touch points, and time to press hash into rosin. The press is currently available to companies with high throughput rosin processing needs. A home version for people with lower quantity pressing needs will be available to the general consumer in the near future.
HEADHUNTER Stalk Removal Sieve: Another HASH CRU innovation in traditional sieving. The Headhunter SRS allows hash makers to produce upper 90% head collections from biomass in minutes. The sieve eliminates the need for electrostatic technologies, and allows producers to make high quality hashish collections without subjecting the hash to potentially physically and chemically altering electric fields. If electric fields are your thing a high voltage power supply can be integrated into the Headhunter Guillotine Stack to produce static separations of contaminates that are similar in size to the desired trichome head collection.
CENTRIFUGE PURIFICATION OF CANNABIS EXTRACTS: A HASH CRU SOP for producing rosin from hash, or purifying rosin using filter and density based separations.
TRUE NAKED WASH: Innovative way to water sieve trichome heads from biomass. No nylon, no standard sieves, no paddles, just flow and physics! More information to come...
TEFLON TECH: utilizes the electrostatic properties of Teflon (PTFE) sheets or rods to remove unwanted material from hash. It works by separating positively charged trichome stalks and other plant contaminants from trichome heads. When your hash already has a high ratio of heads to stalks, it's more efficient to remove these smaller contaminant particles using Teflon Tech than to try and isolate the heads from the larger pile. Materials with similar triboelectric properties to Teflon can also be employed.
THE GUILLOTINE FRAME (aka THE STACK): The end of the bubble bag or pre-stretched drysift frames, and the solution for the modern hash maker that is looking for efficiency, cost savings, and cleaner hash. The Guillotine frame allows the hash maker to select the ideal mesh, screen, or perforated sheet for the needed separation.
