One Tool You Never Thought You Needed When Washing Hash
Cannabis enthusiast and student of the art of solventless extraction
Efficiency isn't just about yield, it's about workflow. While most hash makers obsess over micron screens and water temperature (as they should), they often overlook the seemingly simple logistics of moving product around the lab. Today, we're shining a spotlight on an unexpected MVP in the hash washing game: the humble salon tray cart.
Your Sidekick in Solventless
You've invested in premium bubble bags, a freeze dryer, and your temperature-controlled room. You've perfected your agitation technique and dialed in your water temperature to the degree. But if you're still awkwardly carrying collection trays across your workspace or stacking them precariously while you work, you're missing a crucial efficiency hack.
Enter the adjustable salon tray cart—specifically, the 30"-43" height-adjustable rolling version with a cold-rolled plate and five wheels (two lockable). This versatile tool, borrowed from the beauty industry, solves several headaches hash makers face during collection days.
Why It Works for Your Hash Lab
The beauty of this crossover tool lies in its thoughtful design:
1. Hands-Free Operation: Keep your collection trays stable and accessible without tying up your hands or workspace. Free hands mean more precise collection and less chance of accidents.
2. Height Adjustability: The 30"-43" adjustment range means you can position trays at the perfect ergonomic height, whether you're sitting or standing. Say goodbye to back strain from hunching over your collection station.
3. Mobility with Control: With five wheels (two lockable), you can easily transport multiple trays from your washing station to your freeze-drying area in one trip. When you need the cart to stay put, just lock the wheels.
4. Cold-Rolled Plate Surface: The durable, easy-to-clean surface is ideal for the hash lab environment, where cleanliness is non-negotiable.
Real-World Application
Picture this: You've just finished collecting hash from one set of screens and need to move on to the next. Instead of finding counter space for your first tray (counter space that's probably already at a premium), simply place it on your cart.
As you work through your wash, the cart becomes a mobile staging area. When you're ready to transfer everything to your freeze dryer, you roll your collected work across the lab in one smooth trip—no balancing acts required, no risk of dropping precious material.
Beyond Collection
The usefulness isn’t limited to collection. Use your cart to:
- Transport prepared material to your wash station
- Organize tools and supplies during workflow
- Stage packaged product before storage
-
Keep cleaning supplies mobile for post-wash cleanup
The Bottom Line
Sometimes the most impactful additions to your hash lab aren't the high-tech gadgets or specialized equipment—they're the thoughtful workflow solutions that eliminate friction points in your process.
At The Press Club, we're always looking for ways to help hash makers refine their craft, from our specialized bubble hash tools to unexpected workflow hacks like this one. The adjustable salon tray cart might come from outside the cannabis industry, but its value in the hash lab is undeniable.
Try incorporating this simple tool into your next wash, and you'll wonder how you ever managed without it.
