Water Extraction

One of the cleanest and safest ways to extract high quality oils from plant is through water extraction.  Cold water solidifies the oil and then the agitation removes the trichomes.  The water is then poured through screens to collect the various size glands.

Dry Sift Extraction

Dry sifting is one of the most ancient and commonly practiced methods of removing extracts from plants.  The dry and firm trichomes get knocked off and contaminant is filtered through screens starting with 250 micron.  Then contaminant is worked through the ~70 micron screens and heads are collected with a static glove.  There are many techniques, but all involve screening.
