I love the plans & product, but someone has to ask why you didn't buy a Tamisium? Sorry in advance lol
Because mine is faster and will do hard vacuum purges, while the tamasium won't.
How many of ya'll Tamasium users are averaging over a 20% yield of BHO Absolute from bud and 100% butane recovery in less than two hours?
I'm defining an Absolute as BHO oleoresin extract that has been winterized, to remove the waxes and lipids.
The Tamisium is perfect for doing hard vacuum purges. I added a brass nipple to a safety quick connect creating the perfect interface to a refrigeration manifold or direct to a vacuum pump with a charging hose.Because mine is faster and will do hard vacuum purges, while the tamasium won't.

High quality yield will depend a great deal on what you start with and how pure you want your output. Soaks and reversions may yield you a littlle more but, is it worth it? You can't put crap in and expect gold out, silver maybe.
Carefully following instructions I can recover about 95-97% of butane in a little over 2 hours with out using a costly refrigerent reclaim system.
The Tamisium systems have been well researched and tested, parts, service and advice are available. If your need is this size unit (TE-175 does 2 ozs) add it to your list of systems to evaluate..:fighting0085:
Manufacture of BHO is inherently a dangerous process. Do not cut corners on safety dictated by your available equipment. For most this means working outside away from any sources of heat or flame. Use appropriate caution for your methods. :mad0233:
I don't know where you live but, Michigan has a 2 1/2 oz possession limit with no legal basis for processing or distributing larger amounts.Soaks and flushing have definitely been worth it on this end. When I speak of yield, I am speaking of over 20% yield of an absolute, not just a raw oleoresin.
Our highest so far was 22.2% of refined absolute. Our best raw oleoresin yield using conventional columns was 21.6%, and still had all the waxes left in it.
While Tamisium has eliminated the costly ($800) refrigerant recycle pump, they still aren't cheap.
How much does one cost that will process 600 grams at a cycle, not counting the extra vacuum pump needed for a hard vacuum purge?

I agree with everything you have said. Not being able to use anything larger legally the Tamisium 175 is perfect for ME, your needs may be different.
My TE-175 All stainless system and vacuum pump cost me a little over $1300.00.
Hey Graywolf- also forgot to ask why you chose to use a long small tube versus a larger shorter container similar to the lower collector? I chose the latter method just for ease of handling. Do you see an advantage to the column you built? Einstoned
I'm buying all the parts needed and was wondering if the refrigerant recovery cylinder that you bought came with the dip tube or if you added it afterwards.
How many CFM is your Vac Pump?
What sizes/gauges are the hoses/fittings?
Do you leave the column open when recovering with the Appion G5? If not, why flood again if it's already flooded, because you cut it off as soon as it gets cold, and only recover what reached the paint pot? Just need it clarified a little.
Let me know GW! Your work is inspiring! Thank you for the template!
"I'm defining an Absolute as BHO oleoresin extract that has been winterized, to remove the waxes and lipids."
I am assuming that this is a post extraction purification. What is "absolute" oil like? Can it be used directly in food preparations?
Thanks for sharing this thread.
No. I let my dad have it. Still have an airgas account though ;)did you return your Tamisium hmusic?
Thanks for all the replies GW! I have a few final questions for you, if you don't mind. I really appreciate it!
What is the wall thickness/gauge of your stainless tube/pipe? Also, is it tube or pipe? Could tell me exactly what specific tube/pipe I need to look for? I found the flanges on scamazon.
What length heat cable do you recommend? I was thinking 9ft, but again, am open to your expertise.
Why are there in-line valves on almost every hose? Are they necessary?
How many holes needed to be drilled in the lid of the paint pot, to weld nipples/fittings?
From your pictures, I don't understand/see where the hose from the top of the column is, that goes to the paint pot. If I do, then how is the gauge hooked up? Could you please clarify? Also, what type of gauge is that. I am having trouble finding one with negative pressure.
Sorry for so many questions, but I'd rather be safe than sorry...in the pocket and in health ;) THANKS AGAIN!
P.S. I got this pricing for the columns with flanges already welded, but it seems too expensive.
1-1/2 sch 10 x 48" 304 SS W/ 300# SLIP ON FLANGE WELDED TO EACH END $300.00
1-1/2 sch 10 x 36" 304 SS SAME AS ABOVE $250.00
1-1/2 sch 10 x 24" 304 SS SAME AS ABOVE $235.00
1-1/2 sch 10 x 12' 304 SS SAME AS ABOVE $225.00
ADDITIONAL FLANGES WOULD BE $50.00 EACH
GASKET AND BOLT SETS WOULD BE $50.00 EACH
ANY ADDITIONAL FABRICATION WOULD EXTRA $$$$
The pot is the weak link in the system at a rating of only 80 psi and I have never seen more than about 30 psi on it.
A surface plate works even better.
Does that include the o-ring machining in two of the flanges?
I am looking at replacing the lower flange with an O-ring stainless union, which costs $132 each and would be faster, while still having a 3,000 psi rating.
