Yeah, I was looking at that with a desktop centrifuge.
As I understand it, they place the cooled flower and alcohol together and then spin it in a centrifuge?
Not sure if that would work with a desktop centrifuge.
As in
It can probably can be done, but most extract in a bucket and use the panda to spin dry. See: Bucket Tek (Cold Ethanol Extraction on a Budget)
If you’ve got $30k lying around there is a wee French fuge that qualifies as “designed to do this at desktop scale”.
Edit:
Sort of. Depends on the fuge. As noted above, those without the correct tooling will simply use the centrifuge to recover more of their solvent (and hence more of their cannabinoids).
By spray washing you can get essentially complete extraction faster than you can spin the fuge up to speed and down again.
Ethanol is FAST!
Water is too, but that’s not I trick I’ve seen performed nor tried myself yet…maybe I’ll buy an espresso machine today: You Can Use Espresso Machines To Make Marijuana Extracts
