The historical account of the Pollinator, an early commercial dry sift tumbler device that was one of the first purpose-built tools for mechanical trichome separation, predating the widespread adoption of water hash methods.
// From the Episode
Mel Frank and Todd McCormick discuss the history of the Pollinator tumbler with Bubbleman. The Pollinator was a key innovation in hash making — 'the pollinator was really how we made' hash in the early days. Discussion covers whether a patent was sought for the device. Bubbleman contextualizes the Pollinator alongside the development of water hash, noting that the Pollinator preceded the isolator and other water-based extraction methods. The Pollinator represented the commercialization of dry sift techniques.
