As an end product…what do you want to make and SELL?
Work backwards from what can I sell today?

Edibles shatter and carts and would like to try diamonds eventually// I don’t have access to large amounts of dry ice so has to have a chiller .I thought bout etoh but way to expensive upfront n would need a shit ton of expensive equipment
Is “trim” worth $100/kg?
Just curious
In Michigan… licensed market. I’m getting between $150-200 per lb for my trim. That’s what… 300-400 per kilo?
Then you haven’t looked at the problem correctly.
See Eg: Bucket Tek (Cold Ethanol Extraction on a Budget)
learn how a panda (suggested above by @Roguelab ) is relevant.
You already have solvent recovery & purging in hand, so my math says you could be making panda assisted qwet with an outlay of about $500
if you’re aiming a shatter, I’ve got a redirect for you: How to turn "Shatter" into diamonds/sauce/distillate/anything I can sell?

Enjoy those prices while they last. CO is down to $75-90 lb for indoor and $2.50-3.50g for 86-90+ distillate.
Once the hemp-derived bullshit comes to an end, the prices are going to rockkkeeet.
Those are clothes dryers.
Washing Machine "Salad Spinner" tek
But so were BOCK when they patented their centrifugal extractor….back in 1905 or so I believe.

Nah, our market is most likely considered more of a matured market now instead of an emerging market since its been around recreationally 10 years. Its normal for prices to go down and hopefully they will stabilize soon.

So how bad does the etoh eat up these machines ?? The washing machine is badass or in this part of the country redneck engineering at it’s finest is wat they would say … will the bubble bag dude washing machine work also ??
You’ll want to get the right filter socks if you get a panda, at least two so they balance well as it spins. And have an assistant to hold the thing down, or strap it to the wall first, or else it will start bouncing around and spewing green everclear everywhere.

Our distillate prices are already at the level you describe here. Trim/Shake has a higher value as its used for more than just biomass here. Trim prerolls, preground bags, shake bags, and biomass for extraction.
The price went up over the summer and is coming back down for croptober now.
Michigan has had a competitive market since 2010… with a fully commercial market for the same amount of time as Colorado. I think we’re looking pretty good and growing sales year after year. 2nd biggest cannabis state market right now!

Someone def posted a few months back stating they pay $8-9/g for disty in MI. Could just be big guy vs lil guy. Buying bulk is always cheaper.
That’s different for sure. I guess as long as its stated “trim” you aren’t trying to pull a fast one on your customers. Honestly not sure if CO sells trim like that.
I’m glad to hear your market is still boomin. Hope you are prepared for when it slows. Corporates overbought, over extended, laid off mass amts of folks and brought our whole market down with it.
we have come a long way !!
Good times those days god the amount of gunk we have cleaned of the floors and walls
