Laboratory Telemetry Analysis & Platen Operating SOP: Dabpress 3x5 Caged Anodized Dual-PID Platen Kit (For 10T-20T Shop H-Frame)
The Dabpress 3x5 Caged Anodized Dual-PID Platen Kit (For 10T-20T Shop H-Frame) by Dabpress operates in the Prosumer Gauge tier with a 3.0 x 5.0 inch (15.0 sq in) working surface and 12.0 tons (24,000 lbs) of rated force. When paired with our recommended 2.0 x 4.0 in (8.0 sq in) 90u or 25u Bag filter bag, leaving a 0.5-inch perimeter escape channel around all four platen edges prevents cool-edge oil reabsorption and ultrasonic seam blowouts. For 62% RH cured flower in 90u or 120u mesh, target 650 to 950 True Bag PSI at 180F to 198F. For WPFF ice-water bubble hash in a 25u inner + 160u outer double-bag, throttle force to 300 to 500 True Bag PSI at 148F to 162F.
Equipped with a 600W heater architecture and Universal Caged Platen Kit for Dake / Harbor Freight H-Frame drive (Included / Live PSI Telemetry), the Dabpress 3x5 Caged Anodized Dual-PID Platen Kit (For 10T-20T Shop H-Frame) handles up to 14.0 grams per cycle with 1-Year PID & Heater Cartridge Warranty coverage at a reference MSRP of $259. Always execute a 35-second zero-pressure thermal kiss before ramping pressure over 90 to 120 seconds, and route 25u hash rosin batches to a 155F sealed-jar decarb for EmptyVapes postless ceramic cartridges or dose spent pucks on CannaApp.
