This could be a good starting point for someone that wants to build a ethanol extractor like CUP by capna
CUP is not by Capna

Well don t really see iT !!
But Ok explain yourself🤔
Isn’t the cup like a centrifuge system?
My bad delta separations.
I’ll be honest, I’m a noob when it comes to ethanol extraction. Also I was a little intoxicated last night, and what seemed to be a great idea now escapes me.
In my mind I imagined replacing the agitator shaft with a hopper to carry biomass. The ethanol could flood and drain through the same port on the bottom. Depending on the power/rpm of the agitator a spin cycle after the ethanol has mostly drained would be an option.
Roguelab - i blame you for this. I read your Vacuum still/ ethanol recovery post and it got me think about building an ethanol extractor.

how does that compare, price wise, to the panda?
the CUP’s claim to fame is that you can go from 15% solvent loss to the biomass to 3% loss, by drip drying at 800x normal gravity. 1000g is my target min
While I can see where you’re going, I cant see how starting with a paint pot will get you anywhere close to what you need…I would posit that even a hobart would give better results (and they don’t work worth a damn).
I’d guess that the air powered mixer is designed for relatively low speeds, and has very little torque.
have you ever seen a top driven centrifuge? I haven’t, and I suspect there is a good reason for that.
the calculations to figure out the rcf from rpm are given in both Delta Separations CUP and Washing Machine "Salad Spinner" tek threads. do a little math & see what sort of rpm you need.

Since we’re talking pressure pots, these could be useful in a mining process yes?

I see this as being extremely useful if you want to spray your walls with etoh tincture. Gives it that vintage venician plaster look

Yep now You figured a function😀
Yust dont use the air powered mixer i would take iT out and place a Sight Glass
Don t use the left valve You Will have a Diamond fountain other than that You are clear good luck🤣

They make ‘em.
Superior in many ways.
Price isn’t one of them.
