The APE Agricultural Pollen Extractor 2.0 is a premium-grade, fully enclosed dry sift system explicitly engineered for high-efficiency trichome separation. Designed for both professional hash makers and small-scale extraction labs, this pollen extractor is the next evolution in dry sift technology, offering increased capacity, improved build quality, and even greater control over your sift yield.

Built for precision and durability, the APE 2.0 is a powerful tool for those who demand clean, solventless results from their cannabis harvests. Whether you're producing full-melt dry sift or prepping for further refinement into rosin, this machine is built to deliver industry-standard results.

What It's Used For

The Agricultural Pollen Extractor is primarily used to isolate trichome heads from dried cannabis or hemp flowers without the use of water, solvents, or chemicals. Gently tumbling plant material over a series of micron screens inside a temperature-controlled drum allows processors to collect high-purity kief suitable for hash production, infusions, or pressing into rosin.

This method of mechanical separation is especially prized in the solventless community for its ability to preserve terpene profiles, cannabinoids, and structural integrity of the resin glands, resulting in a clean, flavorful, and high-yield product.

How It Works

The APE 2.0 functions by rotating dried plant material in a horizontal drum lined with a fine mesh screen. As the drum spins, trichomes break off and pass through the screen, collecting beneath the unit. This method ensures gentle agitation, which minimizes plant matter contamination while maximizing the purity of your sift.

The system's timed operation and durable build make it ideal for small-batch craft hash makers as well as boutique commercial processors looking for consistent, reproducible results. Compared to hand-sifting, the APE offers a substantial boost in efficiency and cleanliness, with minimal degradation of the material.

A Brief History

The APE Pollen Extractor line was developed out of necessity by industry veterans who understood the limitations of early dry sift methods. From improvised mesh boxes to crude tumbler setups, early dry sift tools lacked consistency, capacity, and control.

With the launch of APE 1.0 and 2.0, hash makers gained access to a reliable, high-throughput mechanical solution.
