Hi!
Looking to make some etoh tubes, 6-8" diameter. Probably 4-6ft long. Spool/triclamp fittings. Want to be able to hold 7-10lb? Anyone got a good source before I start scrounging around on the wild world Alibaba?
Good prices, wide selection of different things for brewing/extraction, decent prices, and pretty quick shipping.

Is there a point where larger diameter tubes start to affect yeild or throughput? Considering going to a fatter shorter tube (6x36 from a 4x48). I’m speaking intelligently terms of bho not ethanol. Sorry to highjack the thread a little bit

Stay with the 4x48. Easier to get even distribution across the material

Does the tube diameter apply to the etoh as well for efficiency?

probably not as much. I may be wrong @cyclopath can correct me, but etho doesn’t want warm up as fast. and depending on your level of investment… you could throw jacketed columns and hook them up to something cold, like the touch science 30/80 which would easily keep those columns tit bit nipply

I run a jacketed 6”x36” on my concept rig. Building my production rig with 6”x48” columns. Keeping everything nice and cold has to be priority numero uno!

Thank you brother👊 I’m drawn to simplicity. My my production rig will hopefully consist of 8 6”x48” extraction columns and 4 x 8”x12” filter stacks. (Working on finalizing the funding/budget with the powers that be) Obviously there is a good amount of ancillary equipment required but at the end of the day it’s quite simple. Solvent in the top, out the bottom, through a filter!

no doubt bro…That thing looks awesome and super cheap to make. I love how really no sightglasses are incorporated making the cost of your parts extremely low.
I imagine that column is chilled with some pretty expensive chiller otherwise the stainless looks super cheap…probably much cheaper than a CLS on this size and i think this might run faster.
let me know the quote of the spools and stainless your looking for…can probably get you a better price. Thanks for sharing this. I wouldnt mind mocking up a smaller version to play with here. This is great!

Yes sir! I’ll DM you when I get in the office. Super cheap like maybe 2k and most of that is in fittings, valves and high pressure clamps, two lids, and multiple bowl reducers. Super cheap. Each 36” column can hold 3.2-6.6kg if I cry mill the material. For this mock up rig I use LN2 my production rig will be powered by a beastly 2.5kw @-80 American Made Chillin Muscle💪 The filters will all be jacketed and the piping will all be hardline pipe. I’ll have 15 gal kegs between each pair of extraction columns and the filter and 55 gal seamless SS drum for post filter collection.

I’ve made some decent stuff with this little cheap o rag tag system. Like I know you guys know you don’t need much. Just attention to detail, passion for quality, and a love for Mary Jane!! Oh and with Ethanol you need

Thats exactly all it takes…There are sooo many intuitive people here…Its just crazy some of the stuff ive seen on this site now coming on a year…but i never realized how simple a basic alcohol extraction unit can be till you just posted yours. Damn that looks simple! Awesome!!!
