I was wondering if anyone has used a Bink's pressure pot for making oil. I was thinking of getting their 2.5 gal pot. One with one reg. the other with 2. The one with 2 I was planning on dumping the oil into then attach a second line to the second pressure reg so I can recatch the butane in the second pot. Using a large teflon bag to catch the oil in. (I hate cleaning sticky crap up) though washing it out as you winterize it is proably the same mess as the bag.
Another question on packing the tube. I was thinking of drilling out some disc's and layer them between the herb to help move the butane around as it is running over the herb.

Looks like that idea drifted across your brain before mine. I was thinking the older I get the better the meds I'll need. I saw one unit that was just to much work for me. I figure if I need tools to use it I did not dumb it down enough. I figured with quick disconnects on about 6 tubes,pass it thru that. I saw that Binks had some disposable pails for their unit so I figure I could wrap that in a teflon bag, throw it in the freezer when done.once hardened just transfer it to where it needed.
I saw somewhere else those spools you were using,which got me to think about pressure pots. I will have to wait until later when I can set down with a cup of coffee to see what you are doing here. Yours looks more complicated then my turkey baster. JK

Trust me, it is actually as simple as the mind that created it. Here is a picture of a Mk III, which doesn't have pneumatic valve operators, so it is easier to see what is going on. Here is a schematic that also helps.

You selling these yet?

Here's the passive system I put together. I made mine so the bottom of the chamber is removable for access to the product.

I never ran a closed system, but I know I would have seal problems with the bottom lid if I had that. Those teflon bags I was looking at looks like they would slide in your unit easy. Must have been nice trying that first batch. JK

I ran that name thru google and ran into an automated sys. Now that I can see potential is some places. Though I think co2 will be replacing butane. I can see you make things like I do,cause you can. I will be having to check out my rough thoughts and see if I can get by safely on the cheap. I can not see me running this system more then twice a year. A gal. a year would cover my personal needs.
I can see putting a dryer in that loop. I read where you felt a cold bath was good for hexanes and alcohol. I think it would help to have one before the recovery pump, to help pump down the butane. JK

Butane runs at about 55 PSI when "warm" and its really not a problem to get the fittings to seal. The sanitary fittings are rated at 400 psi working pressure.
 
#12
CO2 really should replace butane, but unfortunately the pressures are much higher so it's more dangerous in some ways yada yada. It's also a much more nuanced technique in terms of targeting the proper density for CO2 such that you solvate the molecules you want. The issue really is that you can't dumb the supercritical extraction down to a tube and a can of butane--so that is still going to remain the top option for most across the board. It would require something more akin to the rigs seen here (and preferably even more robust).

It just takes funtickets,common sense, and an eighth grade education.
Well in Today's education that might be considered a Masters. Common sense has to be bred in because it is to rare to pick up on the streets anymore. JK

Jesus that is the craziest device I've seen for oil yet!

How's the chance of it exploding, seeing as it's under pressure?
