Plate Pressure vs. Gauge Pressure
Plate Pressure:
The applied plate pressure is determined
by the extracted material's surface area (bag,
size and quantity) and the applied pressure
to the extraction (Gauge P.S.I. Reading)

Circled Above on chart
Plate Pressure: 750 PSI
There is only one 3.5g bag
that has the total surface
area of around 1.77in
Gauge Pressure: 577 PSI
To extract your material
at 750 PSI with a surface
area of 1.77in (one 3.5g bag)
it would equal 577 PSI on
your gauge.
Gauge Pressure:
Gauge pressure (psi) is measured from the
-VS-
hydraulic rams uid pressure. This is the applied
pressure and should be adjusted to the surface
area to achieve optimum results.

Surface AREA KEY
Nugsmasher extraction bags, our bags are recommended
for optimal yield and clean quality rosin. Our bags are
hand-made in the USA! Nugsmasher extraction bags are
speci cally designed to work with the weight of fresh cured
ower together with our extraction machines and are labeled
accordingly at: 3.5 g, 7 g and 14 g this assumes the bags are
loaded (BTS) or bottle/barrel-tech style (upright so that you
end up with the round coin like puck once fully pressed).
This perfected method allows you the ability to put the proper
weight of ower into the bag and get a consistent extraction
every time. The reason for this is that it allows for the proper
pounds per square inch, pressure (PSI) on your product and
eliminates the guess work.
3.5g = 1.5" Diameter = 1.77" in surface area
7g = 2"-2.2"Diameter= 3.14" in surface area
14g=2.4"-2.7"Diameter= 4.91" in surface area
We prefer to use 160 micron for fresh ower, as ower dries
we go down in micron screen size (for dry ower use 90
micron).
NOTE:
As the micron gets smaller the diameter get slightly larger.
example: 90 micron is about 5% larger at the end of your
extraction
