Why pollen press

There two main products that pollen presses are commonly used for. The first is to press hash into disks, commonly referred to as coins. The second is to take ground loose-leaf marijuana and to compress it into cakes, or pellets.

There are many reasons why someone may want to do this. Sometimes it can be for personal storage, other times it could be for commercial applications. The benefits of using a pollen press will largely depend on what you are pressing, and how much of it is being compressed. Pollen Presses can come in manual and hydraulic form.

As there are many different model designs for the hydraulic systems, we would recommend reading the user manuals for these types of presses. Some may apply an upward pressure, others a downward or even side on pressure. So for the sake of simplicity, we will be going over the two main variations of the manual pressing systems; the T-bar and the flat cap.

Both designs consist of a cylinder that is threaded at both ends. Where the difference comes in, is with how the press is tightened, and the material within is compressed. Before we get into the how-tos for the different designs that are available, we need to point out that you should avoid using tools to apply as much pressure as you can muster.

Only tighten these designs by hand. If you try to use a wrench, pliers, or even a grip bar, to try and get it just that little bit tighter, not only could you cause the pollen press to seize up, you could actually crack the tube or the caps. For this reason, we highly recommend not using any tools at all. If you have difficulties with using your hands, look at either using a design that best suits your capabilities, or consider getting a hydraulic press like the one below.
