There isnāt going to be a mjbizcon this year. I have missed out on so many frequent flyer miles because of this COVID shit. We had 22 trade shows booked for 2020. Made it to 4 before March.
Trade shows wonāt be up and popping again until concerts and Iāve read many accounts of that being summer 2022.

Most if not all but one or 2 extraction equipment companies have other people build there pressure vessels if not entire sysytems. Most of this is done in Chiiiiiina.

As someone who formerly produced āpilotā scale equipment, the reality is that the market is rapidly closing for anything between that 5lb CLS and custom factory scale installations. Iām happy we got done when we did.
The idea that industrial equipment is built and stocked āturn keyā I find amazingly anamolous to this industry. I honestly love right now the flood of competitive import options (and domestic) that are all basically knockoffs of the same designs but it canāt possibly last. Why would GM set up to build the same assembly line as Ford?

Also, as a div 1-3 pressure vessel manufacturer, Iād say that thereās a reason thereās only some 20-something Div 3 code shops. Not everyone needs to build their whole system soup-to-nuts. If you canāt get your skid welds right, please donāt try to make your own vessels lol. BUT, if you go to Quintus or Autoclave and ask them to design your shit for you, you donāt understand how engineering these systems work. A real mfg should do all their own design work (or with well vetted subs) and select the correct suppliers to build the system. This is not how cannabis does things

Carl does not have an ASME cert at his shop and therefore is unable to manufacture certified pressure vessels.
He purchases them from a variety of different manufacturers. Most companies that claim made in USA do this. It is very expensive to maintain ASME certs and is not economically feasible for most Canna equip mfgs.
Carl welds racks.

This is our philosophy at Mach.

Many a good business has died by that mantra but almost everything great that was ever built was made with it. Itās something I feel so strongly about Iād almost say itās a personal flaw. But then you see something like a Frank Lloyd Wright house and know if you really want something perfect, you need control of every aspect

Itās worked for them for 3 generations of family owners over 87 years. Anything they do they end up doing better than anyone else. Part of why I joined the team.

Thatās a good question.
I think Delta does.
build soxhlet with two egg timers: one to let the solvent in the bottom and another to bypass the condenser at the top. Only costs one runās worth of solvent per batch
