❄️ Ice-O-Lator 🛠 Pollinator 🔥 Rosin 👐 Mechanics 🧈 Piatella
❄️ Ice-O-Lator (ice + water)
Principle of the Ice-O-Lator
Extraction water + ice, trichomes detached by agitation then filtered by microns.
⭐ Benefits of the Ice-O-Lator
- Very Pure, often the cleanest
- Can reach the Full Melt
- Flavours preserved
- Solvent-free
Texture from Ice-O-Lator
Creamy, melting, sometimes sandy depending on the micron.
The Ice-O-Lator method is ideal for
Premium hash, rich aromatic profiles, discerning consumers.
🛠 Pollinator (dry sieving)
Pollinator Principle
Rotary tumbler + sieve → trichome separation by Friction dry.
⭐ Benefits of the Pollinator
- Very aromatic
- Quick
- Ideal for large quantities
- Natural method
Polinator texture issue
Sandblasting machine, powder coating machine, more or less fine depending on micron.
🎯 The Polinator method is ideal for
Dry sift, traditional resins, powerful aromas.
🔥 ROsin (Pressure + Heat)
The Rosin Principle
Pressure + heat → trichomes melt and flow as pure resin.
⭐ Benefits of Rosin
- Solvent-free
- Very true-to-flower aromas
- High-gloss finish, pure
- Version Hash Rosin = ultra-premium
Rosin texture issue
Creamy, shiny, stable or “budder” depending on temperature.
La méthode Rosin est idéale pour
Premium extracts, consumers seeking purity and aromatic intensity.
👐 Mechanical extraction (traditional pressure/friction)
Principle of mechanical extraction
Artisanal methods: manual sieving, pressing, charas (rubbing fresh flowers).
⭐ Advantages of mechanical extraction
- Method Ancestral
- Very natural
- Authentic, earthy, spicy aromas
- Crafted result appreciated
Texture resulting from mechanical extraction
Compact, malleable, sometimes darker.
The method of mechanical extraction is ideal for
Traditional hash, “old school” profiles, lovers of authenticity.
Butter (Aged creamy hash)
Piatella Principle
Le Piatella is not an extraction method but rather a Refining technique. We start from Ice-O-Lator Premium, then we it Cold mature to get a texture creamy, glossy and ultra-aromatic.
⭐ Advantages of Piattella
- Texture ultra-creamy and brilliant
- Flavours extremely rich (preserves volatile terpenes)
- Highly sought-after premium aspect
- Very stable and consistent result
Piattella Texture
Creamy, buttery, shiny, sometimes “custard”.
The Piattella technique is ideal for
High-end hash, discerning consumers, premium products.
