Form for pressing hashish

Hello, brothers, I have a question. Could someone help me with a pressing form? What dimensions of the form should I take to compact 1 kg of material?

not sure how relatable to candle wax hashish would be, but 1kg of candle wax comes in a 20x20x4 cm cube when ordered in bulk

Could you send me a link where I can find such a form? Because I’m looking for it and can’t find it.

What quality of material, and what equipment will be used to press it?

I imagine something with removable walls would be preferable, for ease of removal.

I will use a hydraulic press

Molds of steel are needed but most important to determine the size is what will be used as wrapping
American hasj uses celofane bags and the mold is made to accommodate these bags accordingly
Afgan hasj uses aluminium/plastic bags
I have seen some Canadian hasj
Packed in aluminium wrapping yust like a chocolate bar
So first make up your mind about how you want to present your product

Paraffin is lighter than hasj (trichromes)
So probably a bit larger

I’m going to keep posting what I think hash should look like in bullion form until someone makes it out of stainless to put into a 20 ton press.

To answer that, you need the density of pressed hashish.

The all knowing one suggests WO2021226725A1 - Hashish having substantially uniform characteristics and method for producing same at an industrial scale - Google Patents as a source for that information.

Miraculously, it turns out you need almost exactly 1000cm^3 (finished size).

No melt will easily take the most volume up, quarter melt - less, half melt, etc. since it’ll just melt while heated to fill the excess volume because the form itself will be heated

I’d say even then the density depends on how diligently you clean your material prior to pressing
