5.3 Plate Speed Control
To adjust your plate actuation speed, simply turn the
dial clockwise [right] to increase speed or
counterclockwise [left] to decrease speed.
The plate speed actuation knob acts as a valve which
mildly throttles the air that is exhausting from the
opposite side of the piston in the air cylinder. This
opposing air pressure is bled out at a rate controlled
by the speed dial. This also means that the initial
pressing forces is applied at that speed. This is useful
to prevent bag blowouts when pressing kief, dry sift
and bubble hash.
Recommended Usage Speeds
●
Flower:
fast, fully threaded out
●
Kief and Hash:
slow, mostly threaded in
Note:
Spend some time playing with
the speed controller to get a hang of
what the press is capable of.
Controlling the actuation speed of your plates is helpful depending on what material
you are pressing.
