The NugSmasher® ProTouch can be used with a manual pump handle or pneumatic operation with push button actuation of plates.
The NugSmasher® ProTouch requires a compressor (not included) with a minimum psi of 100 psi and 3-5 gallon air capacity. Note the
larger the supply tank the less you will have your compressor cycling on and off. Attach compressor and airline to input line in recessed
pocket on left side of machine.
Pressure:
Once your unit reaches set temperature you’re ready to start pressing. Once you have your material between parchment paper - do not use wax paper! - ,
slowly start raising plates. It is key to do this slowly to properly build heat into your material. The entire pressing process should be between 90-120
seconds depending on your strain. Your NugSmasher® ProTouch is most capable of over pressing your material as the mistake made most with new
extractors. See, NugSmasher®.com/tools/calculator tool for pressure calculations for your NugSmasher® Pro. There are several videos available online
on the NugSmasher® social Instagram account as well as the NugSmasher® YouTube channel that are very beneficial for techniques and tips of your
rosin extraction. Note: Do not use other leverage device or foot to push manual handle down as you will cause damage not covered by warranty.
Ideal Temperature:
The ideal pressure and temperature will vary depending on strain and growing techniques
so don’t be discouraged on your results when you press new material. We recommend
when pressing a new strain to start at approx. 220 degrees for flower and notate your
yield results (weight of material in vs. rosin out). Perform additional test presses and drop
5-7 degrees per press until you notice your yield percentage starting to drop. Adjust back
to the previous temp and that will be your ideal temp for that strain. It is advised to have a
thermal temp gun to verify and check temperatures from time to time. Use our temperature
test strips included with your unit (also available for purchase at NugSmasher®.com),
unless in a pinch use a small piece of electrical tape as the high gloss on heat plates will
affect accurate temp readings if using a thermal temp gun. (As shown in Illustration)
