I've been playing with various approaches to getting as much solvent out of washed material as possible. Gone from squeezing nut milk bags to using French presses. So far I'm not hugely happy with anything I've tried. When I started looking at commercial units for large scale ethanol extraction, I like the approach but not the price. Poking around on amazon and I found this the other day:
With an 8 inch cylinder this thing would have an RCF of about 2300g at the edge. I figure I could put material in a bag like this:
or maybe something finer mesh like a nut milk bag... Plan is to do the initial soak in chilled ethanol and use that fraction for vapes and whatnot. Then do a clean up soak in room temp ethanol, spin the solvent out and then pull the it through a celite puck with a layer of charcoal to clean up the color and flavor.
Was wondering if anyone has used one of these for the purpose and how it turned out.
