The Axis
Trichome Separator

Axis Trichome Separator

PurePressure’s Axis trichome separator offers unparalleled control, machine utilization, and scalability for solventless processors.
lts unique design separates the washing vessel from the source of agitation, which enables extractors to wash in one vessel while the next one is being filled, pre-soaked, or filtered. This creates massive efficiencies both in terms of batch processing throughput and labor cost savings. Built in the USA, the Axis’ stainless steel housing and washdown rated electronics allows for easy cleaning and sanitation. It also features a joystick that’s coupled with a touch screen control panel to mimic hand-paddle agitation.

1 Axis = 2x competitor machines
The modular, multi-vessel nature of the Axis agitation process allows nearly 2x the throughput compared to other single-vessel agitation machines.

ROI achievable in under 1 week
The massive efficiency gains in hash production will allow you to see a return on your investment in under 1 week.

Double your throughput
Wash twice as much hash with the same labor force compared to hand paddling.

Limitless control
Custom hash washing recipes can be created in multiple ways, which are then endlessly repeatable, to ensure unparalleled washing consistency between batches. The Axis is capable of running custom created recipes that can be made by stringing together your custom recorded patterns, during live production runs, or from tables. It also comes with pre-set recipes loaded into the control panel for exceptional agitation control.
Patterns: recorded short, discrete movements that are intended to be looped.
Recipes: one or more looping patterns, which can be created with the joystick directly or with a table on the touchscreen interface.

Product certification statement
Pure Pressure has contracted a Third-Party Product Safety Test House to evaluate this product for electrical compliance to UL 763 for Motor-Operated Commercial Food Preparing Machines.

Technical specifications

Product scope & intended use
The Axis trichome separator works exclusively with PurePressure Bruteless vessels (30, 44 & 65 gallon sizes).
The unit operates by agitating a slurry with a mixer head and is intended for use with ice water hash extraction methods.

Maintenance schedule
Daily: Clean, wipe down, visual inspection.
Weekly: Inspect hinges & hinge hardware for loose or backed out bolts.
120 hours: Check belt tension. See belt tensioning instructions for additional detail.
Monthly: Inspect the interior of the control stand electrical enclosure for moisture.
Check vertical movement and pivoting for smooth operation.
Check filter regulator for condensation.
6 Months: Grease hinges.
20,000 hours (L10 predicted life): Replace bearings, drive belt, motor & gearbox.

Axis trichome separator throughput tables

Study explanation
To create the tables below we performed a time study of a 9 hour work day with 2 extraction professionals using the Axis trichome separator. The work day included preparation, hash washing, hash collection, and cleanup.
To maximize machine utilization of the Axis, the preparation and hash collection processes were executed simultaneously and separate from the Axis agitation process (hash washing). Most facilities can achieve optimal throughput using 4 vessels. If your filtration time exceeds your hash washing time, the required number of vessels increases.

Study assumptions
Continuous operation of the Axis with an average time between batches being 2 minutes to change positions.

Terminology
Wash: the process of removing trichome heads from the flower through agitation with the Axis trichome separator.
Batch: a series of one or more washes, performed to ensure as many of the trichome heads have been detached from the flower as possible.
Work day: 8 hours of hash washing and 1 hour of clean up.
