@Rambo and I bought a yhchem to do some testing. Our first WFE. Thank’s to the support of this amazing community and other folks like @Kingofthekush420 & @Montroller. We are excited and learning every day and are looking forward to having it running this week.

We have been making software and hardware for 20 years and plan on distilling. We also plan on creating some cool automation tools(software and hardware) once we get engrossed into WFE. Anything we make will be opensource.

Thanks to everyone who posts here for all the knowledge we have gained. Looking forward to our first run and the endless amount of learning in the future

Welcome @Rambo! You and @densone are getting ready to rock! Good luck!

Killa12345 · July 31, 2019, 1:59pm

Congratulations guys… Its awesome to see so many people making insane moves based on the knowledge of the forum. I know i wouldnt have tried distillation if not for the forum. I see you had much bigger goals in mind. LOL Good Luck and looking forward to the show!!!

We are looking to do the same. Could you give some insight on your dealings with yhchem thus far? I am going to ask for a quote this evening.

Thanks!

Bravo! Thank you @Future and @sidco for the forum. I love this community. I think we should win an award at MJ Biz. @sidco, tell us how!

Process was easy. We have a list of what’s not great on the yhchem. We did not buy the following.

vacuum pump
diff pump
feedpump

Instead we purchased:

Edwards 30 rebuilt
waiting to buy an agilent
Buying beaker and wrench feed pump from @Lilibel

Be ready to wait for shipping.
Packing was great, not a single issue
@Yhchem-distillation is very responsive
Make sure you have a forklift the day of delivery
be prepared to pay the tariff (DM me for tariff deets)

Will have more info once we get wifey running.

GreenBee · July 31, 2019, 9:10pm

This is top notch info. I really appreciate your input!

Thank you

Goals! keep up the hard work.

First dry run we are sitting at 30 micron and going down still.

The biggest issue with getting the seal good was making sure the gaskets were nice and level. @Rambo went full ocd and it worked out well.

Rambo · August 7, 2019, 11:42pm

After lots of tiny adjustments to make sure the seals were perfect and a little bit of patience… we made it down to 19.8 micron. Progressing nicely!

GreenBee · August 7, 2019, 11:43pm

Get at it! Nice work and keep us posted!

Killa12345 · August 8, 2019, 12:25am

No shit guys. Keep killing it!!

GreenBee · August 9, 2019, 10:39pm

@densone, did you and @Rambo put this together yourselves with the materials provided by YhCHem?

densone · August 9, 2019, 11:06pm

yess, but there are minor caveats along the way. Little bits and bobs. Need to run an extra plug. ychem manuals are in dire need of updating.

especially from unboxing to attaching wiper motor. metal clamp tightness (am I going to break the glass) .

We can assist you along the way
