Electric Motor vs. Pneumatic Concentrate Dispensers

The mechanism that pushes your concentrate out of the machine barely shows up on any spec sheet, but it decides everything: how the dispenser handles stiff rosin, how clean your fills come out, how fast changeovers go, and how much product you leave behind. Here's the honest tradeoff between electric-motor and compressed-air dispensers.

We lay out exactly when hand-packing stops paying and how to know which side of that line your shop is on. This is the business case, not a spec sheet.
