Extraction equipment is the kit you need to turn raw flower and trim into hash, kief, rosin, or BHO at home — ice water bags, dry sift machines, pollen presses, glass and steel extractors, pre-press moulds. Azarius has been supplying solventless and solvent-based extraction gear since 1999, and we carry 17 tools covering every method from a pocket-sized shaker to a motorised 150-micron drum. Shop the full range below.
Buy Extraction Equipment — Methods, Kit and How to Choose
Extraction equipment separates trichomes — the resin-packed glands that carry the good stuff — from plant material. There are three routes: cold water (ice-o-lator style), dry sift (screens and shakers), and solvent-based (butane through a tube). Each gives you a different end product, different yield, and a different amount of faff. The table below lays out what each method actually does.
| Method | What you get | Kit needed | Good for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ice water extraction | Bubble hash / full-melt | Mesh bag sets, bucket, ice | Home growers with trim to process |
| Dry sift | Kief / dry sift hash | Sifter box, pollen shaker, drum machine | Anyone with dried flower and patience |
| BHO (butane) | Shatter, wax, oil | Stainless or glass extractor tube, filters | Experienced users who want high-potency concentrate |
| Pre-press / finishing | Rosin-ready pucks, hash coins | Pre-press mould, pollen press | Rosin pressers and kief collectors |
If you're new to this, start solventless. Ice water and dry sift don't involve flammable gas, they don't leave residue, and the kit is cheaper. Butane extraction gives higher yields and different textures, but it's a method you want to understand properly before you run it.
What We Carry
- Ice water extraction bags — Ice-O-Lator Small (2-8 bag sets, processes up to 200g per run) and Ice-O-Lator Travel for smaller batches. Pure Factory's Ice Extraction Bag Kit runs 220 down to 38 microns.
- Motorised extractors — the Bubbleator B-Quick handles wet extraction in 5–10 minutes; the Pollinator P150 is a motorised dry sift drum for frozen plant material.
- Sifter boxes and shakers — the Wooden Sifter Box for passive kief collection and the HashMaker Shake Me for manual 22-micron dry sift.
- BHO extractors — stainless steel Roller Extractors in 15cm and 30cm, plus the all-glass EHLE-X-trakt with a Dexso-certified fritted screen.
- Finishing tools — the Black Leaf Pollen Press and Pocket Pollen Press for compressing kief into tablets, and the Qnubu Aluminium Pre-Press Mould for shaping rosin bars.
- Replacements and accessories — filters for the Roller Extractor (50-pack, 33mm) and the EHLE-X-Trakt Replacement Set with fritted filter and o-rings.
- Infusion kit — the POT by NOIDS Herb Cooker handles decarboxylation, infusion and extraction for edibles and oils.
How to Choose Your Extraction Equipment
Match the tool to the material. Got a big harvest with plenty of trim? Buy an ice-o-lator bag set — the Ice-O-Lator Small or the five-bag Pure Factory kit will process the lot in an afternoon. Got a jar of dried buds and want to passively collect kief over weeks? Order a Wooden Sifter Box and let gravity do the work. Want concentrated oil for dabs? The EHLE-X-trakt glass extractor is what we'd pick — the fritted glass screen gives a cleaner taste than steel mesh, and it's Dexso-certified for a reason.
For beginners, start with dry sift or ice water. A sifter box and a pollen press are under-the-radar tools that cost little and teach you what trichomes actually look like. Move up to a Bubbleator or Pollinator once you're processing real volume. BHO is advanced territory — if you're going that route, get the Roller Extractor for durability or the EHLE-X-trakt for taste, and buy the replacement filters at the same time.
When in doubt, shop the Ice-O-Lator Small. It's the most forgiving piece of extraction equipment in the shop — water, ice, bags, done.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between bubble hash and dry sift?
Bubble hash uses ice water to freeze trichomes off plant material through mesh bags; dry sift uses screens and agitation only. Bubble hash yields more and captures finer grades, but dry sift is simpler and needs no drying step.
Which extraction equipment should a beginner buy?
Start with an Ice-O-Lator bag set or a wooden sifter box. Both are solventless, cheap to run, and hard to mess up. The Ice-O-Lator Small handles up to 200g per run, which is plenty for most home growers.
Do I need a glass or steel BHO extractor?
Glass (like the EHLE-X-trakt) gives the cleanest taste — no metallic notes, no coatings. Steel (the Roller Extractor) is more durable and forgiving if you drop it. Both work; glass wins on flavour, steel wins on longevity.
How much does extraction equipment cost to run?
After the initial kit, solventless methods cost almost nothing — just ice and water. BHO needs refined butane, which adds up per run. Replacement filters for the Roller Extractor come in 50-packs, so ongoing cost is minimal.
What's a pollen press for?
A pollen press compresses loose kief into solid tablets or coins that store for months without degrading. The Black Leaf press is threaded aluminium with no moving parts; the Pocket Pollen Press uses food-grade thermoplastic pistons for clean ejection.
