5 Gallon 220 Micron Zipper Washing Bag for Small-Batch Washing
Small ice water runs live or die on how well the plant material stays contained. This zippered bag goes inside the 5 gallon Bubble Magic extraction machine and carries a coarse 220 micron screen. Agitation knocks trichomes loose from frozen material, and they pass through the mesh into the water while leaves and stems stay put. That keeps the finer collection bags below from blinding with green debris. The full zipper locks the material in for the length of the wash cycle. One bag ships with every machine, and this listing is a spare or replacement. The folded bag measures about 12 x 12 x 0.5 in and weighs roughly 0.2 lb. Load it loosely so material can tumble, then zip it fully closed before adding ice and water. It fits the 5 gallon machine only.
Why Small Processors Keep a Second 220 Micron Wash Bag
Home and craft processors running the 5 gallon machine often wash several batches in one session, and a second 220 micron wash bag keeps that rhythm going. While one bag drains and rinses, the next batch can already be loaded and zipped. Zippers and seams wear after many cycles of ice and agitation, so a spare prevents a mid-run failure. A torn bag sends plant matter straight into the collection bags, which means a dirty product and a long cleanup. Rinse with cold water after each wash and let the bag dry completely before folding it away. Check the stitching at the corners and the zipper track before every session. Freezing material for several hours before washing gives a cleaner trichome break and less plant fragment in the water. Grading happens in the collection bags, so this bag only has to contain and drain. The coarse screen drains quickly, which keeps small-batch cycles short. For a machine that sees regular use, it is a small part that protects every batch. Label spare bags with the date they went into service so the oldest one is retired first when the zipper starts to stiffen. Keep the bag away from sharp trim scissors and stems with hard spurs, since a single puncture in the mesh lets debris through.
