Mine at least came out whole

Do you have a solution for the 6x1liter buckets in the beckmanns?
We can adapt to the ones that fit 4x600ml rotors (and have), but I’d like to get more in there…

Yep. Becky always wants more…she’s got a sister too.

Do you mean a cup and basket that takes advantage of the bucket size?

I have a full speed basket option for the SS milk jugs. Can hold more concentrates and go much higher rpm without blow outs

We have to keep it under 1/2 speed & loading more that 150g per basket gets problematic

I’ll find out their tolerance and report back to you.

Amazing information here. Thanks to all who have contributed. After reading through this thread a couple times I decided to buy a cheap ($80) 6x20ml 4000rpm fuge off of Amazon. It works very well and seems to be perfectly balanced spinning at max speed. The unit is surprisingly quiet! I had 20 grams of live sugar that I wanted to remove the terps from and make some carts. I used 2 of the tubes with 2"x4" 25micron rosin bags. Loaded the bags with approximately 10g each and then inserted in the tubes. My unit came with tubes, but they do not have caps on them. I ended up having to use a small piece of masking tape on the outside of the tubes to hold the bags in place. I ran the unit at full speed for approximately 3.5 hours, checking on it every 30 minutes. Most separation was done after an hour, but I continued to spin until satisfied. I did not stir the thca fraction at all during the process, which Im sure if I did it would of finished faster. I’ll try mixing/stirring next time. I ended up with 11g of thca and 9g of sauce. I do plan to order tubes with lids before spinning again.

For $80 that works pretty well! If you end up getting tubes with caps can you link them here to show which ones fit? Thanks in advance

Absolutely, I just ordered a couple different sized ones to try. Also got some 15ml ones to stick inside the 20ml one. I plan to cut the bottoms off the 15ml ones and fit a piece of the rosin bag over the end and then press fit it inside the 20ml ones. I’ll update later this week once the tubes arrive. Here is a link to the fuge I got.

I also forgot to add. After 3.5 hours of spinning, the fuge raised the temp of my concentrate from 68f to 76f. I did not have the lid opened all the way, just had it cracked open less than a half inch. I just used a Bic pen(just laid the pen down flat and closed the lid on it) to keep the lid cracked open a tiny bit.

Careful that doesn’t slip and turn into a projectile

Ahh didn’t think of that, thank you for the insight. I plan to glue on some rubber feet/stoppers on the lid to keep it propped open a tad.

Are you doing this to prevent the temperature of the extract from increasing? I really do not think it is a good idea to be modifying a centrifuge that rotates at 4000 RPM. Those are some huge centrifugal forces. Modifying the lid may affect the balance of the centrifuge that is crucial to its safe operation.
My $0.02!

Propping the lid open is to vent heat. With how cheap the lid is on this, it definitely doesn’t play any factor in balance. It’s this really thin cheap piece of low grade plastic. It runs the same open or closed. Obviously it serves a “safety purpose”, but doesn’t not effect the machines balance. Honestly at 4,000 rpm I don’t think the plastic cover is strong enough for any safety factor at all except maybe prevent liquid from flying out of the machine. I go respect and appreciate your concern for safe practices.

Ah, ok, fair enough! You’re right, it likely doesn’t play a factor in balance. Good luck!
