if you don’t trust those that went before you, @zaxlol is correct, actually opening the wiper up to confirm the blades are still functional isn’t a bad move…the above were in a GLASS wiper (below were in a stainless one)
…presumably the operator could SEE the blades in the glass one…
extract?
or recover?
one implies COA on crude, the other on input biomass…

I run the same B&W 6". Reach out to Ace (CEO) OKC710 gave the phone number. Ace is the shit! And he’s usually always ready to help. Hopefully you got better results by now, but I thought I’d share with a fellow working with a B&W.
I do a terp strip at - Still body: 150c Condense: 50c and Set radiator fan temp to 4 degrees hotter than the condenser (54c) - Stay under 100mtorr. If you are higher than that you probably have to do a vacuum pump oil change and consider fresh oil for the diffusion pump. I had to those things when taking over the lab.
Distillation time - First Pass & Second Pass same temperatures. Still body: 180c and Condenser 80c and radiator fan to 84c - I typically hold steady at around 3-4mtorr with diffusion pump on.
Run the feed pump at 3.5L-4.20L / hour. Wiper 350rpm for every step. 250 rpm for clean in place.
Love showing off this machine to people. Everyone is like wow that looks amazing.
Did you guys hit up Beaker and Wrench about this (I know I am extremely late by the way lol). I know Trevor over there if you need a contact, generally they do a great job servicing AFTER the sale is made (Something a lot of us equipment vendors can learn from lol)
