The Vortex Trichome Separator is a solvent-free separation device that separates hashish and terpene rich trichomes from biomass using mechanical separation techniques to produce high quality ice water hashish. The working process of the vortex trichome separator: The bottom-driven blades combined with the uniquely shaped flume create cross-flowing turbulence, resulting in powerful mixing forces. In the absence of contamination by plant particles, the trichomes rapidly separate from the plants and remain in the water as suspended insoluble solids. Once the slurry mixture of water and trichomes is separated from the remaining biomass, it can be easily filtered, separated, collected and dried to obtain a high quality hash.
