I heard it does way way better for recovery, elevating the cmep higher than collection…is that true??
So far that’s what I’m seeing…also another trick I do at the end is push some nitro to flush the coil out of any solvent stuck there due to it being dry ice cold.

What company remade the pistons?

Id also like to know where i can purchase said redisigned pistons.
For anyone looking to rebuild their pump, i rebuild cmeps in Norcal and offer upgraded bearing grease that helps with being a tad late on top end rebuilds.
I agree, but also don’t forget to vacuum the whole system including coils before running. As homeboy mention, air will create ice blockage eventually.
Where in norcal and what are your prices

Following bc I’m also curious who is remaking the pistons
Kris Krumble on facebook; works for D.A.B.S llc (Design and build supply LLC) have no idea what his IG is or if there is one… Closed loop extractors page
I think this is the only time i wish i had facebook just so i can see what it looks like
I use dual cmep with a jacketed coil in 50/50 ice water give or take, recovering two 35 lbs material columns start to finish in under hour & half with 80-90lbs of solvent per. Single column runs are about 45 minutes to hour same specs but single column. They used to run a dual open coil but switched to jacketed as the results are far higher quality & recovery is a breeze.

Can you explain your recovery a little more…i run multiple cmeps but not that speed

They rip if your psi is higj enough and your cooling is more than adequate, use to watch my scale do a few #’s in seconds when id crack open the vapor push column with 80 psi in it. But thats not the norm by any means.

acetone and dry ice wont “freeze” over butane/propane… look at the freezing point temps of each Propane and butane; it takes more then dry ice/acetone to freeze it. if your tane is “freezing” its due to moisture getting into it

Exactly. I run dual cmeps and I keep my coils in a slurry at about -50 and only had them freeze once after running a ton of live resin. I emptied my tank and had a shitload of water in there
The issue was i wasnt use to the double coil. It was just taking its time to fill up. There was never a clog.

I put a valve with a T behind it so i never have to empty my coil and just vac down a small section. Don’t loose as much gas this way for my set up

yep, same; i have a T after the recovery pump but before the “IN” of the condenser coil that connects to our sieve column this way when you vac the system/sieve column it VACs the condenser coil and system at the same time. also helps keep your molsieve from building up moisture too though we use a 6ft molsieve haha so we hardly need to worry about moisture
Ya my sieve is always sealed closed, but same set yp basically, my coil holds a few #’s at least
