those 20 ton ones are good if you want to keep your PSI up using large plates, you get about the same pressure on big plates with a big press as you do body weight pressing a 1" square in the hair iron

Ok, I see. The bigger the plate surface area the more "tonnage" of pressure needed to squeeze out the oil.
Presumably, there is a mathematical way to compute this, but I see your point. Thanks!
That being the case, the 6 ton bench press from HF is looking pretty good.

Watched the video, he says "low temp" several times but never actually states what the temperature is.
Any idea?

For RSO you need to bring it high enough for the solvent to boil off. Once there is zero bubbling left in, and zero activity whatsoever, this means you have achieved complete decarboxylation and purged residual solvents.
Yeah, I think its 170-190F something like that...
But remember in that video he is pressing bubble hash...temps are lower and he has a heavy press
Without a heavy press like that and flowers people are using higher temps like 330f
I think with a heavy press and flower 230F
Theres also a company called "lowtemp" that makes heated plates and a spring loaded cage that works with any hydraulic press
I happened to run across that video again and it shows how easy the process is and shows the terp tubes. I like thoughs stainless steel tubes you can load up and press
the twist press in this video has up to 5000lbs but on 2-4" plate which is alot of pressure for a manual press The drop handle style manual presses only 1000lbs
the more pressure the better I think the better result and less heat needed equals better product
Maybe look for twist press to pair with high quality plates or all in one manual twist units...this is just one brand but shows the different style presses

So many companies are offering up these presses but little information on exactly how to use them... What temperature, what pressure and for how long.
Not a big deal if you have pounds of material to play with. Not so great if all you have is a couple of ounces, at most. That's my issue.
