Their diagram seems to showcase a giant spiked press with secondary etoh sprayers… It’s a very bizzare design (by bizzare I mean unlike anything conventional that we’ve seen).
I was fucking around on my rosin press the other day and I had an increased yield on the first press by slightly wetting my material with true terpenes. I could see how wetting with ethanol would help juice some product.

This is interesting. My vote is for “too many drugs/pipe dream” but I could be wrong. Would have to see it in person or something with a LOT more detail before making any kind of real determination.
I had one of those for a while. Came with the building. I figured it would be useful for spent biomass once we hit scale. I was out voted on that one. “Dangerous” was one of the excuses used…
I don’t see that happening unless you can make everything explosion proof. However, I do think you’re better off just using ethanol for larger scale batches. -Not in the Industry, Just my Opinion- .
Never played with prewetting or absorbents in the bag but about 3 years back I used to press a ton of buds that weren’t fully dry as the yield increased just over 4% and the color was immaculate
