Nice system, hope the sale goes well.
whats the output on a system like this?
can it do 10L/hr 90% d9?

You’re not going to get 10LPH on a KD-10.
1-5 LPH.
5 is like wizard level shit though. Just one man’s opinion
This guys a pretty solid vendor
Good afternoon, it can run 5 L/ hour. I will add that information to the listing
This man has it correct.
Our KDT-6 would only hit 900-1200 mL/hour main distillation. I don’t see any possibility of increasing that 10-fold with only 60% more heat area.
I’ve maxed my kd10 out at around 3. The standard run was 1.5-2 L/H though. On THC distillation.
If you swap out that cold trap for an LN2 one you can feed about 9.5 liters of crude an hour, which will max out your feed pump (which can also be upgraded I think). Running at that max speed with decent crude it can condense about 5-7 liters an hour of distillate with a little leftover in your residue. I spend roughly $124/week on liquid nitrogen, and the machine uses about $107/week in electricity. I retighten every bolt and KF/ISO fitting on a weekly basis and I can consistently hit .0000371 torr with the turbovac (actually goes deeper, that’s just where the vac sensor maxes out), without the turbo I’m still around 10-50 microns.
Without the LN2 trap you’re looking at closer to 1.5 - 5 liters an hour, and a long ass day if you have any vacuum leaks that you can’t find. Also if you’re not working in a temperature controlled room your standard cold trap will hit closer to -40 instead of -50, and your turbovac will overheat once the room temp goes past 92f. My average vac depth when I just had the standard trap was 10-50 microns with the turbo, 100-300 microns with the roughing pump only (didn’t keep my system as tight back then tho).
I can get 5 an hour off a kdt6 easy
I was pulling 8 an hour off a 6 inch yhchem
You should easily get 10 an hour off a 10 if ran correctly
You need to reprogram the vfd to go all the way to 1800 and you can feed ALOT faster then 10 an hour
The kdt6 feeds at like 15 an hour when the vfd goes to 1800
The kdt10 would probably do closer to 20

Look at the feed rate in the picture
It was 700 rpm, normally they only do 300
I haven’t operated A KD-10 but you will need to find an operator who has an eagle eye. An advance operator on a RFE will require many runs to dial down the system. The best accessory with Chemtech is the carousel pods. Each pod can be a new run. Make parameter adjustments for each pod. Now you have x4 data in the time it takes for one run.
a 6 inch yhchem is nothing comparable to a 6 inch CTS. The “6 inch YHChem” is more like a standard 10 inch column. I never understood why CTS is so much smaller. Even a 6 inch pope is more close to a kd 10 than a kd 6
I agree, why not make the column longer? It’s so stupid short
I still think you can get 10 an hour off a 10 with proper temps and a diff
Steel transfers heat so much better then glass, I run at like 183 evaporator 10 liters an hour on the yhchem and pull straight light yellow disty I wish she would have fed faster because I know I could have gotten her to do higher then 8 with a faster feed
The one thing I can say is atleast the chemtek doesn’t leak
The yhchem gear pumps are the worst
Out of curiosity, what were your results running 5L/hr on the kdt6? Was this a main distillation?
Yields? Efficiency?
When I was running one, of course I could crank up the feed rate and temperatures, but output suffered in various categories.
Are you talking about running 5L/hr on a head strip?
Maintaining the processing parameters inside the column will become harder. Nobody has been able to manufacturer a successful Fractional distillation tower(column) yet in our industry because of this reason. The BP are to close together.
No, 5 lph on a distillate pass I feed much faster then that
I was running CO2 crude on this consult so I was only able to hit 93% TAC
I’ve done the tests running slow or fast, I can pull the same potency.
If your feeding fast and your product never gets over temperature because the residence time is so low its the same as running low and slow
Most ppl get bad color because they run the condenser too cold
100c or bust on the condenser
I run a kd10 and I’ve never gotten over 4L/hr producing quality. You can terp strip pretty fast, but the cold trap won’t keep up so you have to slow it down.
Everything I experienced running a wiper led me to believe that the distillation parameters had little direct effect on quality/yields. I tried all kinds of different parameters, but at the end of the day doodoo in = doodoo out.
By far the more influential variables were related to crude quality and whether it’s properly prepped for distillation (winterization, decarb, devolatilization, etc)
Our best runs were with really good quality crude that had been completely prepped for distillation. We could absolutely rip through distillation and still get high TAC% with good yields.
Once we started getting lax with the steps leading up to distillation, our speeds and quality suffered immensely.
Thank you!
