So what you’re saying… Is that we need a bunch of guys, with a bunch of scissors…

you haven’t checked out the slide show @Juice311 posted have you?
knew that slide would catch more attention 
good information but whoever decided that slideshows are a good way to present the info should be shot
huh?
slide shows are a pretty standard way for sharing information at scientific conferences. without the speaker, there is certainly less information transfer…it’s not like the slide show was ever meant to be a stand alone work.
it just happens to be the permanent result of sharing that information with the folks at the ACS conference in New Orleans in 2018. way more useful than a blank screen.

I abhor short form, high effort forms of information transfer. This would include a conference. It’s a waste of time compared to a good solid paper. I can learn a lot more from reading a 10 minute paper than clicking through a slideshow or listening to someone lecture
I’m glad you all came to this conference today to see my presentation.
Now every be quiet and put your heads down as we all sit and read this paper together but separate.

The inside of our mills have a proprietary “knife” blade to cut through the fibrous Hemp/Cannabis plants.

I use my John Deere 4440 Combine for shucking and grinding whole plants or I have a Chaff cutter/hammer mill for stuff that comes to me shucked. I see on average a 2% loss in potency going through the combine and no real potency losses going through the chaff cutter but I capture all the fine dust. 5 micron bag filter inline after the centrifuge seems to capture everything you dont want. Axeial flow combines do a better job of separation but are pretty expensive even used.
If you have the space, old combines are cheap and with a few modifications work really well. I’ll also use it to grind and deseed heavily seeded biomass. For example a customer abandoned 2300 pounds of some of the most heavily seeded crap ive seen COA said 2% Pulled 650 pounds of seed out of it and the biomass went up to 6%.

@JedClampet I believe it, seeds can really kill potency, we’ve seen 40% seeds by weight on some material that’s come through our shop
De-seed that stuff! sell the seeds for hemp harts then extract the biomass. I put the 650 pounds of seed in my field to test dry land farming for grain and fiber before I bought the proper genetics. spoiler alert! they all died… gotta love this drought year in Colorado.
Would love to do something for deseeding inline as part of my size reduction & prep process, just haven’t gotten there yet, my experience with seed sorters is the small shop vac powered style and that’s nowhere near the scale I need to be at running 1200-1300 lbs/day as I currently am.
Whereabouts in Colorado are you? I live in Firestone my shop is up in Kersey
I’m out in Watkins by DIA. I’ve got some material that went through the combine. Both seed and biomass. You are more than welcome to come check it out.
anyone used a BudRubber?
Aaron Equipment has a used one up for sale. I’m dubious…
That s the best darn name they could think of ??
