DRY SIFT

Dry Sift at Growindustry: High Purity Resin Extraction

At Growindustry , we offer the best tools and equipment to perform dry extractions, also known as Dry Sift . This method is one of the most natural and effective to separate the trichomes from the plants, allowing to obtain high quality resins without the need for solvents.

What is Dry Sift?

Dry Sift is a dry extraction technique that uses sieves or meshes to separate the trichomes from the plant material, achieving a pure and highly potent resin. This technique is widely valued for its simplicity and for preserving the terpenes and cannabinoids present in the flowers to the maximum extent possible.

Why Choose Dry Sift?

• Natural Extraction : Without the use of solvents, which guarantees a clean and pure product.
• High Quality : Dry Sift allows obtaining a high quality resin , with greater control over the purity of the final product.
• Preservation of Terpenes and Cannabinoids : This method preserves the most valuable components of the plant, such as terpenes and cannabinoids, which are essential for the quality of the product.

Available Tools

At Growindustry , we offer a wide variety of products to perform Dry Sift extractions, including:

• Sieves and Meshes of Different Microns : Designed to obtain the best performance in the separation of trichomes.

Different Ways and How to Make Dry Sift

Dry Sifting is one of the purest and most traditional ways to extract resin from plants without the use of solvents. It is a method that involves separating the trichomes from the plant using sieves or meshes. Below, we will explore the different ways to make Dry Sift and how to carry out the process efficiently to obtain high-quality resin .

Dry Sift Methods

1. Sieves or meshes

   • The most common and accessible method is the use of sieves or meshes of different microns. These filters allow the separation of trichomes from plant matter.
   • The finer the mesh, the purer the resin obtained. Mesh sizes of 70 to 150 microns are the most commonly used.
     
     

2. Automatic Dry Sift Extractor

   • For those who wish to automate the process, there are electric extractors or rotating drums that spin the plant material on a mesh.
   • This method is very efficient, as it does not require physical effort and allows large volumes of material to be processed quickly.
     
     

3. Manual Method

   • In its most basic form, dry sifting can be done manually by placing plant material on a mesh screen and using a scraper or card to gently push the material and force the trichomes to fall through the screen.
   • This method is ideal for those looking for a more artisanal approach and want to have complete control over the quantity and quality of the product.
     
     

4. Freezing (Frozen)

   • Freezing plant material before dry sifting is a technique that improves yield, as the cold makes the trichomes more brittle and easier to separate.
   • After freezing, the material is placed on the mesh and the sieving process is carried out more easily.

How to Make Dry Sift: Step by Step Guide

1. Necessary Material

   • Dried and cured flowers.
   • Meshes or sieves of different microns.
   • Collection tray.
   • Scratch cards or scratchers.
     
     

2. Freeze the Material (Optional)

   • Place the plant material in the freezer for 20-30 minutes . This will make it easier for the trichomes to separate.
     
     

3. Screening

   • Place the material on the sieve or mesh of your choice. Make sure the mesh is stretched tight over a collection tray.
   • Using a card or scraper, gently move the plant material over the mesh. The trichomes will fall off and through the mesh into the tray.
   • If you use an automatic extractor, simply feed the material into the machine and adjust the rotation time.
     
     

4. Harvest

   • After sifting the material for a while, the collected trichomes will accumulate in the collection tray.
   • To obtain purer resin , you can repeat the process using finer meshes, gradually removing impurities.
     
     

5. Compaction (Optional)

   • If you want to turn dry sift into hash or compact blocks, you can use a manual or hydraulic press. Place the collected resin into a mold and apply pressure to form a compact pellet .

Factors to Consider

• Material Quality : Use dried, well-cured flowers for the best results. The higher the quality of the flower, the more potent the Dry Sift will be.
• Micron Size : Experiment with different micron sizes depending on the level of purity you desire.
• Sifting Quantity : Repeated sifting improves the quality of the resin, separating the plant particles from the trichomes.
