A portable washing machine, often manually operated and designed for compact spaces, is used for extracting botanical concentrates using ice water and specialized filtration bags. This method gently separates desirable plant compounds from the raw material, minimizing agitation and preserving quality.
This process offers several advantages, including increased efficiency, reduced water usage compared to traditional methods, and improved product purity. Its portability and relatively simple operation make it accessible for both small-scale and personal use. While the specific origins and evolution of this technique are difficult to pinpoint precisely, it represents a modern refinement of traditional extraction methods.
