Dulytek

Dulytek delivers accessible solventless extraction technology for artisans who refuse to compromise on purity. From compact manual units to industrial hybrid systems, this California-based manufacturer builds rosin presses engineered for consistent heat distribution, precise pressure control, and terpene-rich yields. Whether you're pressing your first gram or scaling to commercial production, Dulytek's modular ecosystem—featuring the innovative DripTek gravity-flow system and DIY retrofit kits—transforms existing shop presses into precision extraction platforms.


Why Dulytek Dominates the Solventless Market

Dulytek eliminates the barrier between craft quality and commercial efficiency. Their rosin press technology focuses on three pillars: temperature stability, force distribution, and workflow optimization—delivering first-press purity without solvents, butane, or chemical residues.

Technology That Preserves Terpenes

Dulytek's dual-channel temperature control eliminates hot spots that degrade volatile compounds. Anodized aluminum heating plates maintain ±2°F accuracy across the entire surface, ensuring even extraction from edge to edge. This precision prevents cannabinoid oxidation while capturing the full aromatic profile your material offers.

  • Hydraulic Force Systems: The DHP20 series delivers 40,000 lbs of consistent pressure, extracting up to 25% more yield than pneumatic alternatives while maintaining structural integrity of trichome heads.
  • Hybrid Electric-Pneumatic Platforms: The DW8000 and DE40K combine the control of manual operation with automated pressure cycling, reducing operator fatigue during high-volume sessions.
  • DripTek Gravity Collection: Optional tilt-mount stands accelerate oil flow away from heat zones, preventing reabsorption into pressed material and increasing final yields by 8-12%.

Matching Press Capacity to Production Goals

Selecting the correct tonnage prevents both under-extraction and bag blowouts. Dulytek's progressive lineup scales from personal experimentation to licensed facility workflows, with each tier optimized for specific material volumes.

  • Entry-Level Manual Presses (850 lbs - 2 tons): The DM800 and DM2 handle 1-3 grams per press, ideal for personal batches and terpene profiling experiments. Compact footprints fit standard workbenches.
  • Mid-Tier Hydraulic Systems (5-10 tons): The DHP5 and DHP7 process 7-14 grams simultaneously using pre-pressed pucks, balancing speed with hands-on control for small-batch artisans.
  • Commercial Hybrid Platforms (20+ tons): The DE40K with 10"x6" plates handles multiple large-format bags per cycle, reducing labor costs while maintaining first-press quality standards.
  • Ecosystem Essentials: Pair any press with food-grade nylon filter bags (25-160 micron options), pre-press molds for bag preparation, and extra-thick parchment paper to prevent tears during high-pressure extraction.

Building Your Custom Extraction System

Dulytek's modular approach lets you upgrade incrementally without replacing entire systems. Start with a foundational press, then add workflow accelerators as production demands grow.

  • DIY Retrofit Kits: Convert existing 3-40 ton shop presses into rosin platforms using retrofit heating plate kits. These anodized aluminum plates with integrated PID controllers cost 60% less than standalone units while delivering identical temperature precision.
  • Collection Optimization: The 6"x4" rosin cold plate instantly solidifies fresh extract, preventing terpene evaporation and simplifying scraping. Maintain stable viscosity for up to 6 hours without refrigeration.
  • Professional Tool Sets: Medical-grade stainless steel tool kits include angled scrapers, silicone storage jars, and glass collection stamps—everything needed for contamination-free handling from press to package.

Dulytek backs every press with responsive technical support and maintains a comprehensive accessories catalog stocked at Trimleaf for same-day fulfillment. Whether you're perfecting single-origin hash rosin or standardizing SKUs for dispensary shelves, Dulytek's pressure-tested engineering ensures repeatable excellence across every gram pressed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Dulytek rosin presses different from other brands?
Dulytek specializes in dual-channel temperature control and modular upgrade paths. Their anodized aluminum plates maintain precise heat distribution across the entire surface, while the DripTek gravity-flow system increases yields by preventing oil reabsorption. Unlike single-purpose presses, Dulytek's retrofit kits let you convert existing shop presses, reducing upfront investment while maintaining professional-grade extraction quality.
How do I choose between manual, hydraulic, and hybrid Dulytek presses?
Manual presses like the DM800 and DM2 suit personal batches (1-3 grams per press) and require physical pumping. Hydraulic models (DHP5, DHP7, DHP20) deliver consistent 5-20 ton pressure for mid-volume production (7-14+ grams). Hybrid systems (DW8000, DE40K) automate pressure application using electric-pneumatic controls, reducing operator fatigue during continuous commercial runs while offering programmable cycle settings.
What micron filter bags should I use with Dulytek presses?
Micron selection depends on starting material. Use 25-37 micron bags for bubble hash or kief to achieve maximum purity with minimal plant particulate. Use 90-120 micron bags for cured flower to balance yield and clarity. Use 160 micron bags for fresh-frozen material or when prioritizing maximum oil extraction over ultra-fine filtration. Dulytek's food-grade nylon bags feature blowout-proof stitching to withstand high tonnage without rupturing.
Can I upgrade my existing shop press with Dulytek components?
Yes. Dulytek retrofit kits convert standard 3-40 ton shop presses into precision rosin platforms. Kits include anodized aluminum heating plates (ranging from 3"x5" to 4"x9"), dual-channel PID temperature controllers, and mounting hardware. This approach costs 60% less than purchasing a standalone rosin press while delivering identical temperature accuracy and extraction performance.
What is the DripTek system and do I need it?
DripTek is an optional tilt-mount stand that angles compatible Dulytek presses up to 90 degrees during extraction. Gravity pulls liquefied rosin away from the heated plates faster, preventing reabsorption into pressed material. This increases final yields by 8-12% and reduces collection time. It's most beneficial for commercial operations processing multiple batches daily, though personal extractors also appreciate the hands-free workflow efficiency.
What accessories do I need to start pressing rosin with Dulytek?
Essential accessories include filter bags matched to your micron needs, pre-press molds to shape material before pressing, extra-thick parchment paper to prevent tearing under high pressure, and collection tools like scrapers and silicone jars. Dulytek offers complete starter kits bundling these items, or you can purchase components individually. A rosin cold plate is optional but highly recommended for instantly solidifying fresh extract to preserve terpenes and simplify handling.
How much rosin can I expect from different Dulytek press sizes?
Yield depends on material quality and moisture content, but press capacity determines maximum input per cycle. Manual presses (DM800, DM2) handle 1-3 grams starting material. Mid-tier hydraulic units (DHP5, DHP7) process 7-14 grams using pre-pressed pucks. Commercial hybrids (DHP20, DE40K) accommodate multiple large-format bags totaling 28+ grams. Expect 15-25% return rates from quality flower and 50-70% from bubble hash or kief when using proper technique and fresh material.
Are Dulytek presses suitable for commercial licensed facilities?
Yes. The DHP20, DW8000, and DE40K models meet commercial production demands with robust hydraulic systems, oversized heating plates (up to 10"x6"), and durable construction rated for continuous daily operation. These presses handle the high-volume extraction needed for wholesale concentrate manufacturing while maintaining the first-press quality standards required for retail dispensary products. Pair commercial units with the DripTek system and comprehensive accessory kits for optimized workflow efficiency.
