It's not a bad concept for non-toxic extraction technology. I wonder how much of the overal cannabinoids are left in the extruded material. More cocoa flakes or cocoa oil would help extract a lot of those cannabinoids. Your cocoa flakes become an oil when its pressed, this oil acts as a solvent and cannabinoids are transfered from the biomass to the oil. Its non-toxic and not flammable but the coconut oil is still a mild solvent in this process. Maybe soak the extruded matter in another solvent (ethanol/everclear or lots of liquid coconut oil?) to extract the remaining cannabinoids. Good luck with the R&D! Let us know how it goes!

Good call. A seed press makes sense. A lot of equipment manufacturers are trying to crossover into our industry without much knowledge of the industry.

Sure but ice water hash/bubble hash is a cold filtration. Rosin is a heat press. Cold press? Why bother when you can freeze and filter, even without water? I don't think a cold press is even possible because rosin uses the steam from the biomass to push out the oil. Also, cold trichomes just break right off. No need to press anything. @henlone chicagohempcompanyllc@gmail.com Let's see the science.

That's ok. I'm don't believe you can cold press cannabis anyway. Not without solvents and at that point what's the point?

Hydro, indoor, close plants = mold. Be careful and go slow. You're not going to be able to do what decade long growers have done in your first year. No one can tell you ROI. It changes daily. You should probably have a processor contracted before you grow.

Do tell.

I'm a licensed processor looking to do some splits or tolling. I can do crude oil, distillate or even some final products if you need them. We're a small operation though so we're going to fill our calendar fast. Email me at chicagohempcompanyllc@gmail.com and we'll get the conversation started.
