Makes you wonder, does your Lab director even know anything at all? Or is he just too scared to try and innovate and fail?

Bro, thatâs tough. The Lab Director should be the one whoâs willing to try and fail.
Sounds like dude hasnât moved out of garage tech and refuses to take risks. Thatâs not gonna bode well for the company.
You can have him call me and Iâll tell him heâs fucking up, been doing this stuff for over a decade.

How does a cart farm or automated filler react to half decarbed material, does it work without it being a bubbly nightmare?
Start with âbubbly nightmare oilâ and any filler results in a bubbly nightmare of messy partially filled carts sitting in the vac oven for days with the lab director telling you to top off each one by hand, cap the sticky ness of a cart and wipe it down with alcohol (iso of course) two thousand times. Fun times!

as long as you fully degas the oil before filling youll be fine. could roll it in a rotovape for a good while or spin it in a planetary centrifuge for 6mins
For spinning the live resin in a centrifuge is it within reason to spin at the max 4000rpm or is there a specific rpm that works best? I can assume the timing will differ depending on the product and the rpma so Iâm not to worried about that portion.
Slowly ramp up your RPM to the max rpm your centrifuge/filters/baskets can handle for the fastest separation
Iâve got fuges that max out anywhere between 1000 and 15000 rpm.
Without knowing WHICH fuge youâre referring to, âfuck yeah, full send!!â makes zero sense.
Iâm also suspicious you donât know that @PCGextraction was referring to a dual axis (planetary) centrifuge⌠spinning in a regular fuge should help with degassing, but not nearly as efficient/effective as a DAC

My primary goal is just to separate sauce from the live resin so I can decarb without destroying or changing the terps majorly. After going through the thread and similar to it seems I should be able to achieve this with my at home setup with the fuge I have that Maxâs out of at 4000 rpm if Iâm not mistaken. I tried to read for a post you sent but things get confusing Iâm on the lower and newer end of things
And I just have a simple ld-3 fuge
Yep.
Do you get that you should have led with that?
Did you mention using a frit? (Filter/strainer/bag).
Read the three posts directly above your question. Now your post.
Do you understand why I asked clarifying questions?
Are you aware that when comparing centrifuges, it is more helpful to know how far they turn gravity up (RCF aka G) rather than (simply) how fast they are spinning?
Assuming you have tubes for that LD3 that are up for the task, sure. It will work.
However, just because the tubes fit the rotor, doesnât mean they are up for being spun as fast as the centrifuge can go.
Remember that 15000 rpm mentioned above? The tubes I purchased collapsed at 6k rpm (iirc they collapsed at 8k first, and still collapsed at 6k 
).
âŚbut if youâre after volatiles, temp mattersâŚand faster means hotter.
So you might find you donât want to simply peg the speed dial.
Accept that youâre gonna fuck up some hash along the wayâŚthen fuck around and find out.
