 List of Available Micron Sizes for Bags-- Ice Water Extraction, Bubble Hash 
#489978 - 10/20/10 10:42 PM (14 years, 1 month ago) |
|
|
All of the following micron sizes for 5-gallon water hash bags are available online as of June 2011.
I divide the bag sizes into categories:
THE WORK BAGS
230μ
220μ --This is the common size for the workbag, but Dropbags, among others, makes a 230μ and some larger sizes, up to 400u (suited for different plant material, just saying).
209μ
200μ
190μ
185μ
180μ
170μ
COOKING HASH BAGS
(The following size bags are generally considered only good for cooking, adulterant for good hash for sale, or mixed with 25μ and given away to friends.)
160μ
150μ
135μ --I haven't seen this size used, but I would think that depending on strain/sativa dominance this could fall into either this or the next category.
TRICHOME/HASHISH COLLECTION BAGS
(Yum.)
120μ --Generally considered the start of what you want. Trichomes form Sativas will collect more on the smaller size bags, whereas with indicas you will see more quality stuff at this layer.
110μ
100μ
90μ
75μ
73μ --   
72μ
70μ
55μ
50μ
49μ
45μ
THE FINAL BAG
(Anything that drains below the final bag is not worth collecting, so the size of the final filtering screen is important. This final bag is a low yielder and is most often considered lower-quality than the above micron sizes. Higher-quality when using a sativa as starting material.)
38μ --This seems like it would be a great alternative to the more common 25μ size if the quality of the 25μ was substandard. From Mila's Ice-O-Lator bags.
35μ
33μ
25μ --A common size bag most often used as the final bag.
20μ --Sounds tiny to me, but I haven't done runs with small-gland pure sativa material before.
SPECIAL MENTION
1. I didn't use Ebay as the source for any of this information on availability, and you should not waste money on cheap or counterfeit bags offered at any auction sites.
2. Please mention any bag sizes I may have missed.
3. When you hear of folks using more than eight bags for a run, they are running the material first in a series of workbags in one bucket, than the hash-laden water is run by itself through a second series of bags in a second bucket. This is sometimes referred to as a "second-run" but is not to be confused with a second run of the starting material itself.
The first bucket of workbags will start with a 220μ bag to mix in and end with something in either the 190μ or 160μ range.

Absolute Rating vs. Nominal Rating [Re: Psuper]
#490002 - 10/21/10 01:09 AM (14 years, 1 month ago) |

Here's a source for some filtration bags and filter devices that fit on top of 5-gallon buckets; all for only a few dollars becaaaauuuussssee these are for bio-diesel filtration:
http://utahbiodieselsupply.com/filters5gallon.php
***I have not used anything from this site as of yet, just thought this was interesting. Here's some of what they have:
A 4" deep inset in 200μ, 100μ, or 75μ sizes.
7"x16" and 7"x32" poly mesh filter bags available in nominal micron sizes of 200μ, 100μ, 50μ, 25μ, and 10μ.
12"x12" piece of 177μ stainless steel.
...and some other stuff as well.
Again, I haven't used anything from this website, but I am thinking that the bio diesel equipment suppliers could potentially be a very good source for dirt cheap hash making supplies!
Here's a link to an article that explains the difference between absolute rating vs. nominal rating for filters:
http://www.lenntech.com/library/fine/absolute/absolute-nominal-filters.htm
**This is an important distinction to understand if ordering screens from random sources.

Lots of good information here, thank you!
I'm curious about these bio diesel filters. They look great, although it would be a bit more work-intensive doing one filter at a time. My one main concern would be the lack of a 73µ filter or anything right under that, like 70µ. It seems like with the 75µ inset, a good portion of the glands will fall through and end up in your 50µ bag, which is the next smallest size. That might not be so bad, though. Thoughts?
Oh, and great "absolute vs. nominal rating" link too. +5 for this whole post.

The "traditional" place to obtain cheap micron rated screens (for dry sieving) is to use silkscreen from an art supply sources such as Dickblick. HOWEVER, "silkscreen" is just a term nowadays- what you want is actually polyester or nylon monofilament mesh. What you find at the art store or in links like the one above are multifilament.
....orrrr you want metal screens. Here's a list of commercially available dry-sift metal screens I've seen:
140u
120u
107u
70u
63u
Here's a link for a single 140u screen:
http://www.bcboxes.com/orderscreens.html
Metal screens with a 45u, and 100u size in squares of different sizes can be had off of ebay right now as well.
Here's a link for a mesh to micron conversion table:
http://greasebenz.com/mesh.html
If money is not an issue than you can order 3' metal screens in a bunch of different sizes from the following company:
https://www.elkofiltering.com/index.cfm?carttoken=249X7JX100710115541&Action=ViewCategory&Category=2156
Here's another link for 8" round stainless steel screen, some are expensive:
http://www.humboldtmfg.com/sieves.php?sievenum=0
EDIT: Although most sizes are not currently available, I did find the following size metal mesh screens on amazon.com for only $8-$13:
125u --brass mesh
63u --stainless steel
53u --stainless steel
Perhaps they'll restock there supply of other sizes in the future. An $8 140u stainless steel screen would be nice.

woven monofilament polyethylene (polyster mesh screen) [Re: Psuper]
#490651 - 10/23/10 04:19 AM (14 years, 1 month ago) |
|
|
The fabric of a bubblebag is a high threadcount nylon material that is lightly coated with some kind of plastic on the inside. The mesh filter screen is woven polyester monofilament mesh. Polyethylene (polyester) and nylon mesh screens are available from amazon.com in 12" x 12" and 12" x 24" sizes, often for just a few dollars, in the following sizes:
250μ
210μ
200μ
190μ
180μ
165μ
160μ
150μ
149μ
132μ
130μ
125μ
120μ
115μ
110μ
105μ
103μ
100μ
90μ
85μ
83μ
82μ
80μ
74μ
73μ
70μ
65μ
64μ
60μ
58μ
54μ
50μ
48μ
44μ
40μ
37μ
36μ
35μ
33μ
31μ
30μ
28μ
27μ
25μ
22μ
20μ
17μ
10μ
5μ
1μ
...and some others I skipped/missed. On the website the polyethylene screens are labeled as "polyester mesh", nylon is simply "nylon".
A whole number of uses for these. Use polyester mesh instead of nylon for water filtration (as nylon is hygroscopic), preferrably.

monofilament vs. multifilament polyester [Re: Psuper]
#492032 - 10/26/10 08:58 PM (14 years, 1 month ago) |
|
|
Once you know the size(s) of filter material you want, the other distinction to understand besides the difference in a nominal vs. absolute rating for filters is whether the nylon or polyethylene mesh is monofilament or multifilament. Here's an article explaining the distinction:
http://www.shfilters.com/corporate-blog/monofilament-vs-multifilament-polyester-printing-mesh.html
I should have linked the info in this post in post#2 of this thread, but, as I mention in post#4, the material you want is the monofilament and not the multifilament polyester. It is this woven polyester monofilament mesh that water hash bag filters are made from.
As the article linked above in this post points out, most of the "silkscreen" and printing cloths you find online and at craft stores is going to be multifilament. It isn't that this multifilament polyester won't work, it is that the monofilament mesh holes will retain there rated size much better and that the monofilament filter itself is more durable.
Multifilament mesh has a rating with "xx" (example: 10xx) in its rating while monofilament does not. The monofilament I link to that is for sale on Amazon.com lets you know the thread diameter in a micron and a millimeter measurement.

pressing screens [Re: Psuper]
#495977 - 11/07/10 12:20 PM (14 years, 29 days ago) |
|
|
Iam glad you guys like/appreciate what the thread's about. Here's a couple more things:
Pressing Screens
Pressing screens, dabbing screens, blotting screens, drying screens(all the same thing), are made of the same mesh as a bags filter and are most often a 25μ size. "Name-brand" pressing screens cost $15 and are only 10" x 9.5".
Some ice hash makers don't really like the term "pressing" screen. Many don't fold the screen over and press the screen with any kind of force. The screen is instead left on top of the layer of absorbent paper towels for a little while before being folded over and being gently "dabbed" at with a fistfull of paper towels.
I have seen these screens commercially available in the three following sizes:
33μ
25μ
20μ
An actual silk handkerchief can be used in lieu of monofilament mesh if you don't have a dabbing screen.

UPDATED, On Application of Mesh Material of Different Plastics, Fixed mistakes, stuff [Re: Psuper]
#498677 - 11/16/10 07:01 PM (14 years, 20 days ago) |
|

The whole entire above thread has been UPDATED and is current and accurate as of November 2010.
Misinformation in Different Forums
Just two intermingling points here: I've browsed through many, many threads in numerous "hash forums" around the interwebz and constantly see links to China-based industrial supply companies that manufacture mesh materials which obviously aren't going to sell a few dollars worth of items to you and me. There's none of that in my above links. Folks are also constantly supplying links to art supply sources (like I mention and link to above) for the multifilament mesh instead of the monofilament.
On Application of Mesh of Different Materials
Ice Hash, Bubble Hash ---The mesh material for the filter of quality ice water extraction bags is woven monofilament polyester mesh.
Iso Hash, Solvent filtering --The mesh material should be stainless steel, because of it's resistance to corrosion (though I've used a single piece of brass mesh for some quick-wash iso runs). Another choice, depending upon the solvent or whatever chemical chosen, such as any alcohol, would be the polyethylene (polyester) woven monofilament mesh. The reason to choose the polyethylene instead of the nylon is that the polyethylene mesh has greater resistance to acids and organic solvents. Iam going to switch to using two pieces of polyethylene mesh when I do quick-wash iso, for example.
Dry Sieve ---Stainless steel (or other metal) is great and is what commercially available kief screens are usually made from. The second best choice is nylon woven monofilament mesh because the resistance to abrasion of nylon mesh surpasses that of polyethylene (polyester) mesh. The polyethylene mesh, third-best choice, is sometimes cheaper and available in different sizes from the nylon.
Again, for dry sieving the multifilament "silkscreen" that everyone talks about will work, but doesn't resist changing of hole sizes like the monofilament meshes mentioned above. There's even pictures from Bubbleman on his website where he cuts the screen from one of his bubblebags and uses it to dry sift some buds.

I figured as much. It's just as fun for me to play dumb and point it out.
I love pretending not to understand peoples sarcasm or figure of speeches.
Fries and gravy, eh. Most ya Americans think poutine is gross? When I was in NYC I saw a man eat 2lbs of meat and 1lb of cheese at a deli and he said poutine was disgusting and unhealthy. I wanted to ask him if he thought cold cheese was better for him than the melted variety.

Poutine is top notch hangover food, if you think that's bad the dutch (i think its the dutch) dip their fries in pure mayo as a sauce. I love mayo, but goddamn, that shit just turns my stomach lol. Now, mix in some mayo with some ketchup.....

Dutch, and various other Europeans.
I used to put Mayo on my fries a bit, I'd get small packets of mayo and cut the smallest hole in them and just streak them lightly with mayo. I've lately been eating quite a bit of french fries and I put chipolte mayo on them and sometimes mix it with curry mayo.
Ketchup hasn't been doing it for me lately, I love ketchup though it just doesn't belong on fries right now due to my current tastes.

Big up to all the Shroomerites who are checking this thread out-- I put a link to this thread in my signature on my Shroomery account and I think some of the hits on this thread come from the Cultivation Forum over there. 
Oh, and my london-born, and very english mother boils spinach and puts mayonnaise on it. The english do some nasty things with food. I won't touch mayonnaise.
For the solstice a few days ago I loaded a bowl for friends that consisted of golden BHO, cured citrusy-flavored bud, and melty 73μ-110μ range bubble hash. This bowl was as miraculously bottomless as mana from the sky. Lift-off for a whole group.
#1. Iam baked. Hash is delicious.
#2. Mayonnaise is gross.

I linked to a few sources in my third post in this thread; some of those are expensive. Check out Amazon and Ebay for the cheapest stuff (availability differs week-to-week). But the links I provided may also serve you well.
There are various name brand boxes, trays, grinders and they all seem a bit overpriced, especially if you're only looking for a two-screen system. I like Bubbleman's $120 four-piece screen set though- buy that one or use the ideas above to construct your own.

Cheap metal filters [Re: Psuper]
#531624 - 02/28/11 08:44 PM (13 years, 9 months ago) |
|
|
Update: Found another good source for small or custom sized pieces of stainless steel wire mesh for kief making or filtering liquid.
The company is selling through the British Ebay site, and offers 10 different sizes of steel meshes for cheap, in the following mesh counts:
4
10
20
30
40
60 (=250μ)
80 (=177μ)
120 (=125μ)
200 (=74μ)
400 (=37μ)
Only the last four or five sizes are of interest to us. As I mentioned on the previous page of this thread most of the links to these different kinds of mesh screens you see in other hash forums are to chineese based companies or other other industrial-level suppliers that won't sell smaller pieces to folks like us. The above is an easy way to get these for cheaper than from name-brand online headshops.

The links I included on the first page of this thread are north American. In addition have a look at Grainger, Howardwire, and Bwire.com for small sections of steel screen for sale. ***the mesh-to-micron conversion table i linked to on the first page gives an estimate of the micron size of the holes, BUT the actual micron number can vary (usually just a bit) depending on the width of the metal wire that is being woven.
But check out Ebay and Amazon first; as i mentioned earlier their inventory comes-and-goes for certain sizes, but they're cheaper than the other links I've provided. I just included the UK-based seller in this thread because he seems to be a regular, and keep a steady inventory.

So, lets say I have no knowledge of bags. I have no idea what a "working" bag is, etc.
I'm ashamed, but I don't. I've just never looked into it.
Lets also say I was looking to make 2 bags. Just 2. Which 2 sizes would you order to get the most hash?

Of course it's happening inside your head.
Why should that mean it isn't real?

I'm ashamed, but I don't. I've just never looked into it.

If I was going to order only two bags I would want a 190μ bag to hold back all the garbage and either a 38μ or 25μ size bag that would collect all the hash.
BUUUUUTTTTTT you can skip buying that final bag, if you want, and simply pour the hash filled water onto a screen in the approx. 20μ-38μ range. That's what i do in my other bubblehash thread-- just pour the filtered hash solution onto the screen that it gets dried on (dried for a few hours before being put on cardboard).
As I mention above somewhere, pressing screens for bubblehash are the same micron size as the final bag in most sets (25μ). It works exactly the same to simply pour the water onto the drying screen instead of using the final bag-- The difference in cost can be up to twenty-fold when comparing bags to mesh sheets from amazon.com.
I know a few sites to get cheap individual bags though so PM me if you need some links for any sizes-- in my notes I have listed where each of these sizes come from.
The "workbag" is just the bag that you mix the ice, water, and cannabis together in. Normally that is a 220μ size, but the 190μ can also serve this purpose. OR, it's just the bag that catches the ice and starting material when poured if you mix in a seperate bucket, which some folks do.

Ah, I see. I've really dedicated most of my trim and popcorn buds to making a massive ball of budder this round...but its always neat to try something new and have a different end product.

UPDATE:
I mention above that the mesh filter of a hash bag is polyester (instead of nylon); I got a great explanation as to why I should not use the nylon monofilament with water filtration recently from an actual filter bag company owner:
Quote:
-- the abrasion resistance between nylon and poly mesh is nominal. In reality, nylon is hygroscopic (absorbs moisture) whereas poly is not. When working in microns in a wet environment I'll take poly over nylon every time to ensure consistent micron size. Moisture absorption in (nylon) monofilament could quite possibly change your 45u to an effective 25u.

Here's a list of the available bag sizes which I haven't posted yet:
One (1) gal
Five (5) gal
Eighteen (18) gal
Twenty (20) gal
Thirty Two (32) gal
Fifty (50) gal
Fifty Five (55) gal
& the 2.5 meter (8.2 ft!!) diameter model unique to Pollinator which I shared a picture of above.
I've also updated the list of bag brands. A couple additions; AquaLab is selling a different brand than before, and here's a short list of some brands that I think are no longer made:
420 Bags
Pollen Extraction Bags (from GrassCity)
Black Water Hydro
Schwagg Bagg
I've also updated the original list of micron sizes on page one as a couple are no longer made.
