5k Budget For Closed Loop System

[HydroGuy]

So lets say i have a 5k budget to for a small processing setup. In this i need a closed loop extractor with de waxer, vacuum pump and oven. What products would you reccomend? Im tired of dealing with processors and its getting to the point i just need my own set up.

u could build a legit hydrocarbon extractor for 5k if u do it urself. i kno where u can get sanitary spools for pretty cheap

At that budget, consider building your own, including vacuum chamber instead of oven.

I guess idk much about concentrates but I feel like you could get a hell of a rosin press for $5,000

You never fully extract all the oil from pressing. It' a waste vs blasting. I'e been there, done that, sold my press.

Well that's a buzz kill. I almost bought a rosin press the other day

Build one.
Harbor freight 20t press 300.00
4x7 plates with pid from lowtempplates for 350.

Done

DIY is a good idea. Here is an entry level press donated to me and the plate and PID drawings for the one I designed to go on a 20 ton Harbor Freight press.
