Or should I get a hand pump?
definitely don't get a hand pump, they break super easy. the 7 gal vac chamber should be enough depending on how big of a funnel you're getting. I had 1000ml flask. you probably only need a 500ml and the 7gal chamber should work perfect for that. and I personally liked filter paper better than the fritted disk buchners. way less cleaning.Or should I get a hand pump?
Lol okay bud. I will definitely check you out. Not going to comment further without sounding a certain way.haha ok... I have a custom Terpp mk4c, cause I have a friend who used to work for Terpp, who consulted me years ago and how to run my system...it sounds like you're new to this, I run between 20-50lb of material a day, EVERY DAY.... no its not rocket science here...its thermodynamics. are you running for crude oil when you run 25-30lbs of solvent? I would be shocked to see that much solvent returning piss yellow oil. what "solvent tank" tank are you running? any by the way, there are recovery tanks AND solvent tanks, just depends on the application (whats your IG, id like to see the people stating its not a recovery tank). and whoever you're talking to that says running 16lbs through a column isn't enough is dead wrong. if that were the case then why would I be getting back 10-17% returns on trim? and thats also what every big extractor I know runs...im @quail_extracts on ig if you wanna check my page.
This has been purging for 24 hours at 80 deg lol. Its slightly stable but hard to handle with clums hands. It seems the same consistency as my last batch was after 24 hours at 100 deg.
so you'll need a funnel and flask. they usually come as a set. but you'll also need something to pull a vacuum on it. and it can't be a pump because it could suck in flammable solvent. so you want to do it passively. I had a 10gal vac chamber I would vac down and bring over to my Buchner set up and use the negative pressure in the vac chamber to pull the oil down through the filters in the funnel.
My buddy uses his tooI use my.purge pump I use for purging extracts (bho, iso, etoh). 2 stage, 5cfm. Going on 3 yrs of use and no issues.
Everyone does....My buddy uses his too
I'll take the risk lolEveryone does....
4 yrs here. No problems.

LL try thethere was a big thread on tokecity years ago about using a pump or using a passive chamber for pulling through a Buchner funnel. there were multiple explosions with using a regular vac pump...if you already have the 7gal vac chamber might as well be on the safe side and use it. a vac pump is not intended to have flammable solvents run through it. I could see getting away with alcohols but sucking -45* butane fumes into a vac pump doesn't seem right to me...I always like to play it on the safe side though, I have a static free explosion proof fan that will clear my room in under 15 seconds if there is ever any open solvent, haha and I pressure test my system for at least 48hrs. but for real, good luck to you if you decide to use a pump.
no it literally took me like 5 min to dewax two mason jars full of oil with my 10gal chamber. just try it first before you use a pump.Ill try the vac chamber method....it doesn't take forever lol?
LL try the
yield is very good, It can clog easier so I usually do a 70/30 or 60/40 mix of trim and sift.What do you guys think about blowing dry sift? Is it efficient as far as yield goes? I blew a couple small tubes a while ago and the product was amazing. I'm afraid to do a big batch though.
one reason why we change our pump oil after each vac session. To rid of contaminants it accumulates during purging.
@Graywolf
What say you on using these pumps for purging? Any issue of explosions with a normal robinaire type pump we use?
He would be the go to guy on purging
damn I wonder how these other guys blew up their pumps while dewaxing then
