Are you isolating in your lab?

Humans are flaky unreliable messes who are shit at doing the same thing over and over (source: me. Am allegedly human, also shit at most things.).

If your workflow is more complicated than:

  1. when this buzzer+light goes off, replace the empty feed hopper bin with a full one
  2. when that buzzer+light goes off, replace the full waste hopper with an empty one
  3. when the third buzzer and light goes off, transfer the bag of finished product into the dryer

You’re gonna have a bad time.

Rely on humans for what they’re good at. Automate the rest.

Most of us need engineered and stamped solutions

Customs require certs and that adds a lot to the price.

does that come with a CRN number? haha

We can get 99% or better with a single crash and no wash with our socks. Method to the madness. Cannacraft has been running our unit for a while. Same for some other big brands who do nothing but isolation who helped dial in the system many years ago making 50kg a week. Propane works great for both isolation and refrigeration. For extraction we prefer a 70/30 propane heavy blend. You have control of the temperature just like any chiller.

Automation is up next starting with our -150c cyro cooler using my patented refrigeration tech with just propane. Just set the temperature and forget about it. Its pretty easy to teach someone to open one valve for heat and to close it and open another for cooling. My refrigeration does not use a TEX valve since we are not expanding to get cold like a traditional system and thus can refrigerate until the propane turns to ice at -187c, which typical TEX valves are not rated for.

Damn that sucks… We test every condition I can think of.

Assumption is the mother of all fuckups. :man_shrugging: :man_facepalming:

Yeah that is fine… have fun with the rabbit hole.

Please refrain from using any of my patented technologies. :muscle:

You are hilarious bro. I wish you would give me a chance to waste your money in court. Ain’t my first IP rodeo.

I guess thieves will always be thieves. Can’t make the world a better place. It takes everyone to make the effort, not just one person. Tis life.

Have fun with that. Peace be with you.

Whatever dude. I would have never even said that if you didn’t try the patent troll shit. You didn’t invent anything novel, you definitely didn’t invent controlled cold crash, and no one wants to build the same machine as yours believe me. I can understand you wanting to protect your business, and investments. But that patent comment was low life scum ball shit.

I suppose it is a good thing that you do not even know what my patent covers, I guess you assume it is direct refrigeration? Which is nothing new.

Try to find a single stage refrigeration system with one compressor that can get below -100c or even -150c with less than 20 amps of power. Hell even a single stage refrigeration system that can get to -80c?

I’ll wait.

Edit:

It is funny to think you guys try to oversell my claims back as a response. I never said I invented cold crashing. No, I said that we have been cold crashing with our GD1, which was built in 2019, then dropped a large scale version in 2021 that gratefulglobz was all over. Loved our stories and posts about it and was asking all kinds of questions in the DM.

@ChangMinXD He pretty much learned everything from our conversations then tried to imitate my design, albeit in his own way.

You could say, we were his inspiration after we started posting about it in 2020. :wink:

Also still waiting… I know you can’t even find one single system that can even do -60c to -70c that is a single stage refrigeration system. I am really giving you some room to try and find a real existing system that can perform this range.

We are down to -111.9c on the thermal and -103.4c with probes during prototype testing. I could hold the compressor exhaust and was barely warm. The system was continuing to get colder with less power draw. I clamped the power input with an electric current meter. At -112c, with everything running, we were at 19.5 amps while cooling 20lbs of propane to -112c.

This was in jan 2020. You can even pour fresh material out/throw it all in a deep freezer before it starts to boil/leave extra solvent. And just pour the solvent and hte mixture thru a filter after the thca starts to crystallize. I wont elaborate on where its gone from this step but getting 99.9% in cdph testing labs was easy with this and god damn do terps come out/purge so nicely with no heavy compound in the solution. You can leave your hte in a 50-60 degree room and its non detect in 3 days.

You can get this quality from 4 hours at -20 in a deep freezer. Started with jars for samples and now i just throw a collection pot in there. Or chill it some other way idk yall can figure thst out. Its not rocket science one part of the solution becomes solid when frozen. The others dont

Whether you want to build your own or go with a turnkey unit that comes with tech support, we can help you! I’m pretty sure we can be price competitive and offer a more professional experience than working with a one man show. Let us know how we can help!

Tl:dr on how to produce isolate.

Most of you already do so in your extraction with filters and fats. Rinse and repeat after extraction thats all.

No thats fair im very add/adhd so i tend to not use the correct termonology all the time.

How professional.

This has been my go to for a long time. I just bucket tech my shit with DI and some other trickery

I had to go back to some ethanol style filters but yes some additional trickery is nice. That being said id hope everyones on the “tek” of Cartridge filters vs those buchner styles and such. so inefficient lol

I get why the illuminated cold hot skid is desirable but with the isolation of thca it does not make any sense to reinvent the wheel.

Some of the names that are absent in this thread are being silent because the solution is simple as sliced bread and I am amazed there is a 6 figure solution being substituted for those who have not yet clued into how this is done outside a cls

:exploding_head:

Only equipment I’d buy from reading this thread is illuminated’s projack tbh

The only thing id buy is another collection pot you can chill or throw in a freezer, than add a connection to a cartridge filter. thats atleast 6 inches long, the longer the more surface area. The cartridges have prefabbed stainless steel housings as well.

But to each their own. If you need someone to make something for you to do this than you dont even understand how to dewax and thats kinda sad at this stage of the game.
