A mechanical device utilizing controlled heat and pressure is employed to extract a concentrated resinous substance from botanical materials. This process avoids the use of solvents, resulting in a pure and natural product often preferred for its flavor and potency. An example of this technology’s application is the extraction of resin from flowers, which then solidifies into a translucent, amber-like substance.
This solventless extraction method offers significant advantages, including increased efficiency, enhanced product purity, and a reduced environmental impact compared to traditional solvent-based extraction. Its adoption reflects a growing demand for cleaner and more sustainable extraction processes across various industries. Historically, simpler, manual methods were employed, but advancements in engineering have led to more sophisticated and automated devices offering greater control and precision.
