Herb oil pressing devices and methods are provided. The devices include a pair of closable opposed jaws that can apply pressure to a herb placed between the jaws; a motor connected to the jaws for controlling the closing of the jaws, and, when closed, controlling the pressure produced between the jaws; a heater connected to the jaws for heating the jaws and herb; a housing in which the jaws, the motor, and the heater are housed; and a user interface connected to the jaws and the heater, the user interface for inputting a selection of temperature, pressure, and amount of time the temperature and pressure is applied to a herb positioned between the jaws to extract oil therefrom. Related computer-implemented methods of pressing a herb are also provided.

A large number of green veneers for plywood respectively having high water contents and formed in a rectangular shape are vertically laminated to obtain a veneer laminate having a quadrangular prismatic shape. The veneer laminate is located between upper and lower platen members so that two opposite side faces of the veneer laminate vertically form cut face gathering planes. The upper and lower platen members are moved toward each other to apply a pressing force to the veneer laminate. The pressing force applied to the veneer laminate is released or weakened while the water drawn through the cut face gathering planes by the pressing force is dripping downward along the cut face gathering planes of the veneer laminate vertically formed.

A mechanical press is provided that utilizes linear actuation driven by an electric power source and two opposing horizontal platform mounted press plates, an upper fixed plate and a lower traveling plate arranged vertically and tracked via vertical track posts to press resin, oils, extracts, or compounds from a raw plant material. The press plates are heated during press operation and function to heat and melt the desired plant products and the force from the press plates squeezes the melted materials out of the plant and onto a parchment paper or into a melt groove to flow to a collection tray.

The present invention pertains in general to a multi-platen press apparatus and method for compressing and extracting fluids, rosin, and oils from plants and plant materials. The apparatus and method provides for simultaneous platen gap closure, support for a taller internal frame, higher quantities of fluids, rosin, and oils from plants and plant materials during a single cycle, a more uniform heat and pressure distribution between each platen, greater control in accommodating flow rates of different materials based on setting and locking the internal frame at different angles during operation, greater control and easier rotation from a vertical to a horizontal position.

A side-squeezing squeezer including a hinge, a first presser connected to the hinge, a second presser connected to the hinge opposite of the first presser, and a support positioned between the first presser and the second presser and configured to hold a foodstuff in place. The first and second pressers may be configured to squeeze the foodstuff using lever action from the side.
