Dry sifting is a traditional technique for obtaining pure, natural hashish without water or solvents. It involves separating the trichomes using fine-mesh screens and applying smooth, controlled movements. In this category, you'll find sifting boxes, mesh screens, harvesting utensils, and pressing tools for clean, manual, and highly aromatic extractions.

Dry sifting is a traditional hash extraction technique that uses dry sifting to separate the trichomes from the plant material. Through mesh screens of different microns, the resin crystals fall to the bottom while keeping the rest of the material intact. It is a completely mechanical, clean, and solvent-free process that produces a very high-quality resin, ideal for pressing or consuming as is.
Unlike other methods, Dry Sift is a 100% manual technique without water, solvents, or heat, allowing you to preserve the plant's full aromatic richness and precisely select the type of resin you want to collect. It's ideal for small productions or for those seeking complete control over the extraction process, without relying on machines or complex technical processes.
Its advantages include:
Dry Sift is perfect for growers who value the artisanal process, tradition, and manual control of the material. It's an ideal technique for those who want to use cured buds or manicured waste without going through more complex or aggressive processes. It's also highly valued by extractors who make hashish for personal consumption.
In this category, you will find everything you need to perform a good dry sifting:
At Alchimia, we rely on manufacturers that guarantee durable and precise materials, such as Pollinator, Dr. Flwr , or Secret Smoke, with their machines specially designed to automate the trichome separation process.
What is the best micron size for quality hash?
The most commonly used micron size for quality resin ranges from 70µm to 120µm, depending on the type of flower and the desired purity level. Multiple mesh sizes can be used to obtain different fractions and classify the final product.
Is it necessary to cure the herb before sifting?
Yes, it's recommended that the plant material be well dried and cured, or even slightly frozen, before sifting. This improves trichome separation and prevents resin from sticking to the mesh.
Is it necessary to press dry sift?
It's not mandatory, but pressing helps compact and preserve the hashish better, and improves its texture and appearance. In addition, the gentle pressure activates some of the cannabinoids and enhances the aroma of the final product.
