Elevate Your Solventless Extraction with Precision Bubble Bags
Bubble bags are essential for ice water extraction, mechanically separating trichomes from plant material through a series of micron-specific filters. This method preserves terpenes and cannabinoids without the need for chemical solvents, yielding a pure, potent concentrate.
Uncompromised Purity and Potency
The construction and mesh quality of extraction bags directly impact the purity and quality of your final product, ensuring minimal contamination and optimal trichome collection.
-
Professional Grade Filtration: Achieve laboratory-standard results with heavy-duty bags, like the
5 Gallon LABS 8 Bag Set, featuring robust three-quarter sidewall screens designed for rigorous use and high-volume processing.
-
Enhanced Durability: The 'Original' line offers unparalleled resilience, utilizing the heaviest nylon sidewalls for maximum longevity, ideal for frequent and demanding extraction cycles with products such as the
5 Gallon Original 4 Bag Set.
-
Cost-Effective Quality: The 'Lite' series provides exceptional value without compromising on the brand-name quality you expect, offering reliable performance for various extraction needs, exemplified by the
5 Gallon Lite 8 Bag Set.
Selecting the Optimal Extraction Solution
Choosing the correct bubble bag configuration involves considering your processing volume, desired product quality, and budget.
-
For Enthusiasts: Entry-level extractors benefit from efficient and economical options like a
5 Gallon Lite Replacement Bag, perfect for smaller batches while maintaining quality.
-
For Commercial Operations: High-volume processing demands larger capacities and sets designed for efficiency, with options such as the
20/32 Gallon LABS 8 Bag Set maximizing throughput.
-
Integrated Systems: For automated processing, pair your bubble bags with efficient
Bubble Bag Washing Machines to streamline your extraction workflow and consistently produce high-quality concentrates.
If you require a complete system that integrates washing and filtration, explore dedicated
Bubble Hash Machines for an all-in-one solution that automates key steps in the ice water extraction process.
Maximize Your Extract Quality
Optimizing your ice water extraction technique ensures the finest solventless concentrates with superior flavour and aroma.
-
Pre-Freeze Material: Pre-freezing your botanical material makes trichomes brittle, allowing for easier separation and higher yields during agitation.
-
Maintain Low Temperatures: Use ice-cold water throughout the process to prevent trichome degradation and preserve delicate terpenes.
-
Gentle Agitation: Minimize aggressive stirring. Gentle, consistent agitation helps to dislodge trichomes without breaking down plant matter, which can contaminate your extract.
Focus on precision and quality in every step of the extraction journey to achieve exceptional results.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are bubble bags used for in extraction?
Bubble bags are specialized filtration bags used for ice water extraction, a solventless method to separate trichomes (resin glands) from botanical material. They feature micron-specific mesh screens that filter out plant matter while collecting pure, potent concentrates.
How do micron sizes affect the final extract?
Different micron sizes correspond to various grades of extract. Smaller micron screens capture finer, purer trichomes, often considered higher quality, while larger microns collect larger trichomes and some plant contaminants. Using a set of bags with decreasing micron sizes allows for separation into different quality tiers.
"LABS" bags are professional-grade with durable three-quarter screen sidewalls, designed for high performance and rigorous use. "Original" bags feature the heaviest nylon sidewalls for maximum durability and longevity. "Lite" bags offer a cost-effective alternative with reliable brand-name quality, suitable for various extraction needs.
How do I clean and maintain my bubble bags?
Rinse bags immediately after use with cold water to remove any remaining material. For thorough cleaning, soak them in an isopropyl alcohol solution or a specialized cleaning agent, then scrub gently with a soft brush and rinse thoroughly. Allow them to air dry completely before storage to prevent mould or mildew.
What is a blotting screen and how is it used?
A blotting screen, also known as a pressing screen, is typically a 25-micron mesh screen used to absorb excess moisture from your freshly collected extract. This process prepares the extract for drying, curing, or further processing like rosin pressing, ensuring a higher quality final product.
What gallon size bubble bags should I use?
The ideal gallon size depends on the volume of botanical material you plan to process. Smaller 1-5 gallon sets suit home enthusiasts or small batches, while larger 20-32 gallon sets are designed for commercial operations or substantial harvests, allowing for greater throughput and efficiency.
