Centrifuge w fritted filter

You just gotta keep the weight ranges and rpms in check. Should have some more decent info on what does and doesn’t work soon.

Currently we’re having great luck with 1oz per basket for a total of 1/4 lb per spin. That has held up consistently at 1.5k rpms.

Has anyone spun rosin to get rosin terps for carts?

Hours of spinning for no result

How fast did you go for how much weight?

3750 rpms for 4 hours in 30 minute increments with chilled outer tubes :smiling_face_with_tear: it was no good when it got hot

Not yet, but that’s next.

Fire in fire out, no?

What size jars are you using? In my 100ml test tube I am loading 50g in each and spinning 200g a run

The problem isn’t the container, but the basket construction. Just to be careful we aren’t exceeding the amount or getting up to the speed @Waxplug1 had been running at during preliminary tests. With better baskets I expect to spin up to 2 oz per jar.

With more appropriate inserts maybe 4 oz per cup.

Angle the bottom of the jar filter to match the pitch of the gravetron and the mother liquor won’t swing up and get soaked back into the thca…

And the rosin bags are capable of going 4k rpm.

I’m thinking a combination of ptfe, or thin stainless, made to fit perfectly in the 80x100mm bucket, with just a sturdy low micron bag/basket to hold up the product and spin for the fences.

Haven’t really been having trouble keeping the hte separate after spinning.

Got anything in mind?

I mean 100 ml ptfe tubes can be found on amazon for like 80 dollars

I modeled these in the dirty diamond thread for the 1l blastproof centrifuge that was linked, I can come up with a similar version in whatever dimensions if someone wants to pay to get em made

Guys… just take an old material sock and cut it to be able to suspend sugars on it. Fold the excess over the jar and use the ring to secure the mesh

At what point is there too much THCa mass packed together? Like the more packed in there, the less dry you’ll ultimately get it?

Depth relation to dryness will relate to spin speed and time.

I really want to get the jar out of the equation considering I can’t get a full width 32 oz jar into the buckets. Just need a reasonable insert I can still attach to… and I’m still partial to a solid basket screen over a flexible because I’d want to be sure I had maximum surface area available to let the sauce escape from to prevent wet clumps from clogs… also… baskets/bags over sintered disk all day for this purpose, flat surfaces clog up too fast.

Hope that makes sense, alcohol.

My other centrifuge fits the wide mouth jars if you wanna trade?

Nah we all know @Waxplug1 is unbalanced… :shushing_face:

:joy: yea I only had two jars. The perfect jars size that leaves a decent gap for the sauce are hard to find
