- Page 3 Congratulations on your purchase of this rosin press from Juno Industrial Technologies. This press is designed to extract rosin from plants under moderate heat and pressure. The key word here is ‘extract.” When operating your rosin press, it is important to remember that it’s not about crushing the plant like one would a piece of fruit when making juice nor “melting”...

Page 4: Safety Notices
SAFETY NOTICES • Use Extreme caution when operating: The platens get hot during operation and moving parts can cause serious injury. • Do not set the temperature above 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Excess temperature is un- safe, diminishes the lifetime of the heating element and will negatively impact rosin yield and quality. - Page 5 UNBOXING / FIRST TIME SET-UP 1) Remove the rosin press from the cardboard shipping carton, taking special care to re- move all Styrofoam bits, plastic wrap or any other materials that may melt or catch fire. 2) Set-up the press in a well ventilated and dry location, free of any flammable materials when being used.

- Page 7 CALIBRATION Although your press has been calibrated at the factory, temperature, altitude and pressure changes during shipping may affect the accuracy of the calibration. When first opening the box, and after transporting the press to a significantly different environment, it is necessary to perform the AT calibration procedure. 1) Flip both power switches (left and right hand sides of the machine) to the ON position.

Page 9: Preparing For Operation
PREPARING FOR OPERATION 1) Flip both power switches (left and right hand sides of the machine) to the ON position. Make sure the press is open so that the heating elements are not touching each other. 2) The P1 screen allows you to set the requested (SV) temperature. Set the desired tem- perature for both heating elements by adjusting the up/down arrow keys on both control panels. - Page 10 below the SV value, enter a positive number in the P4 setting. Note that this is a percent- age compensation, not a one-for-one temperature in degrees value. 6) The P5 screen allows you to advance the time for the beep to sound before the count- down timer has expired.
- Page 11 PRESSING ROSIN 1) Adjust the pressure knob at the top of the press to increase or lower the pressure that will be applied when closing the handle. Correct pressure is achieved when the handle can be closed with a moderate amount of effort. If the handle becomes too hard to close, you have probably turned the pressure knob too tightly and you may damage the pressing mechanism.

Page 12: Recommended Settings
RECOMMENDED SETTINGS The greatest single factor impacting the yield of rosin will be the quality and freshness of the plant product being used. Below are the variables ranked in order if importance. When considering yield (over quality), the ranking is as follows: 1) Quality and freshness of plant product 2) Humidity of plant product (target 50% - 65%) 3) Pressure (higher pressure is better) - Page 13 In the case of dry or older plant material, you can expect to see significantly less yield no matter how much pressure/temperature/time you apply. Before using drier material you should always take steps to increase the moisture content of the plant material to above 50% (or even higher) to allow the rosins to form.
- Page 14 To ensure quality results, Juno recommends using rosin filter bags ideally sized to match our rosin presses. Juno brand 2” x 4” rosin filter bags are available in a selection of micron sizes from 30 to 160 microns, depending on the type of material being processed.
- Page 15 5 QUICK TIPS TO FIND BEST RESULTS 1 ) Freshness Counts – Just like fresh fruit and fresh flowers, you’ll want to press plant material that is freshly dried. That smell you get off of fresh material comes from the terpenes. If your material doesn’t have a strong aroma, your yield will be low to non-existent.

Page 16: Cleaning And Maintenance
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE To avoid build-up of contaminants on your equipment it is recommended that you periodi- cally clean the press platens and oil the moving parts. When cleaning the press: Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet and make sure it is off and has cooled down completely. -
Page 17: Troubleshooting Guide
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Before contacting service you should see if the problem you are experiencing is already addressed here: ROSIN PRESS WILL NOT POWER ON * Check that both power switches on left and right side of machine are ON. You should see both displays light up when unit is on. - Page 18 ROSIN PRESS WILL NOT HEAT PROPERLY * Check that both power switches on the left and right sides of the press are ON. Top and bottom plattens each need to be turned on separately. * Re-run AT calibration procedure described on page 7 of this User Manual * If SV (requested) temperature varies significantly from PV (actual) temperature, adjust offset using P4 calibration method described on page 9 of this User Manual If your issue is not resolved here, it may already be addressed in the user forums...
