Hey we know that place. Lol. We had the penthouse for 2 days there.

Thank you for coming thru! I really appreciate everyone who came by. @Sidco_Cat i want to say thank you for coming and doing everything you did to help make this happen. I was really impressed with Zack’s system as well. That thing is savage.
Food was bomb
and the house party was sick! I forgot to take pictures 
If anyone has any other questions from anything we covered in the class don’t hesitate to hmu

The question I keep getting is when’s the next one?

If anyone is interested in an older version of the E4K (not the turbo), my company has one available. No GD1, just the E4K and the Haskel pump. Should have most if not all of the hoses. PM if interested…I will have to discuss pricing with management if someone is serious about a potential purchase.
Haven’t heard any nay sayers honestly. Good to hear.

We really appreciate the kind words Kal! This is only the beginning! It was great to have everyone who made it to both of the classes and the after-party. Much love to all!
Right now, everything is about getting rid of the consumables and massively reducing the operating expense / carbon foot-print to run a machine. Ditching nitrogen, co2, and expensive chillers was the second step to a real solution for industrial scale extraction.
This is relative to the first extraction technology we brought to the market with High Pressure Hydrocarbon Extraction, a different approach to the traditional process. It is a specific design feature that is incorporated with all of our units and is how we have gotten around the MAQ limit issues.
All of our smaller units typically operate on a single 12lb injection for the day. Our bigger units, the Behemoth series, operate on 70lbs for a typical day of operation. This is the first half that is required for industrial scale extraction.
As for our GD1 it is a rolled film evaporator, not a spinning band, but attains similar properties to the spinning band due to its operational design. 
Now, with both of our patent pending technologies combined, we have created the ultimate system. Very low power consumption with a low up-front cost, while maximizing the amount of solvent the compressor can move every minute, and can still get to the temperatures desired for live resin extraction. This machine is ages ahead of everything else with nothing remotely close to compare. Peer reviewed in all 50 states.
There is literally nothing else like it. Our technology is directly applicable to all refrigeration systems and has already found attention in that regard as well. I am very excited to see where all this goes!
As one of our students had said - everyone is basically using dial-up internet and here we stepped in the room with 5G.

Anyone else want to chime in with some substantive feedback on the actual operating principles? I’m not so good at making internet-to-engineering translations.
Glad to hear there is positive feedback; it just doesn’t address any of the many questions having been asked by “haters” and non-haters alike.
Not trying to beat a dead horse here, but I genuinely want to be excited about new tech out there!

the high pressure of extraction allows you to use less solvent without any undesired compounds being extracted?
or is it some other design feature that allows this?
do you have potency tests of already ran material?

My interpretation of the wall of text is that they recommend the low solvent-to-biomass ratio to work around the MAQ limits for flammable solvents.
I didn’t see anything to answer your actual question regarding the efficacy of the low ratio.

The traditional method is old and out-dated / flawed. Our method uses very little solvent because that is all that is needed. From there we generate however many lbs we want to meet the ratio that is desired. Just like a refrigerator, it does not need to be re-charged or recovered unless the system is taken apart or the day has ended.
This is the first tech we really figured out and dialed in to perfection. Instead of designing a system based on what everyone else was doing, we sought out a different way to do things. Something efficient, that solved the traditional problems. With our design you have unlimited solvent. U.S. Patent Pending!
Time is the factor we focus on as each compressor moves different amounts of solvent based on the conditions. Our smallest system can move up to 5lbs/minute and currently our largest in operation 30lbs/minute. The ultra-monster Behemoth XL can move whatever you can feed it (50-100lbs/min). This system is just an upgrade to our current Behemoth model to really push the limits but with the same footprint of the smaller R600 model. Both the R600 and R800 operate on 70lbs of solvent.
Honestly you should have came to the class and checked it out. There was a ton of great people there networking with each other. You could have seen the system run first hand and asked all the questions your little heart desired. I went over our system in great detail, both the process (extraction) and utility (thermal control) sides, and explained the how/why behind everything. No holds barred.

Id love to see some potency analytics on already ran material.
Is that something you already have or something you can do? It would be great info to have when recommending extraction equipment to labs.

Damn, I showed up to the class and didn’t see any of this thread until today.
Yo, whoever was offered a ticket and didn’t show up, you missed out. Zach answered every question you had, and demonstrated… in real life… soooo all that internet theory you love so much… smh
The machine is dope, but they never were able to give a straight price. I’m very curious as to how Boris was able to make the pour offs fully liquid though.

Liquid pour off is easy, just add some n-butane to the mix. This is why our cannabis clients typically run 70/30 propane heavy mix. For the class, @Waxplug1 was surprised that we could do a terp fraction during the pour off so we decided to stay 100% propane to show how easy it is to get the fractions with our system. Apparently it is pretty difficult to do with other systems. 
Only one of the 4 runs we did during the class actually worked out how we wanted and remained under-purged so there was solvent left behind. The other three runs were over-purged and unfortunately no terp fraction was isolated. This is easy to miss when immersed in conversation with a room full of people.

Probably pretty easy to miss the sweet spot at 25lbs a minute. Your talking literal seconds from over doing your batch and making it a nightmare to work with. I love all the things your doing but it sounds like running a top fuel dragster on a 100 ft road. You blink and its over.
One thing I was curious about is what happens in the material columns when you heat them up to 50c to get all the solvent out? Where does the water go? How do you deal with all that moisture? You certainly dont want your recovery pump pulling water vapor and recondensing it in the solvent.

I would assume the vapor from recovering the material columns is going through a sieve first, then to the pump.

I thought there was 2x sieves on the small extractor I saw.

With 8, 6" columns you talking about 120 lbs of ff. If 70% of that weight is water I would assume 2 sieves would not be enough. I run 2, 6x42" molesieves and it has to be changed every day, and still find moisture getting by the sieves.
Ive also never added heat to my material columns to recover butane off them. Im just wondering how they handle the extreme moisture at that temp. Overall I think there system is dope, just have some questions the more it think about it.

There’s a better way to sieve the water out. Beads don’t work because the vapor is not forced to go inside the beads. Instead it just goes around the beads

My HTE pour offs look like those you’re talking about, where there is no foaming or pressure behind it, just a thick liquid coming out the ball valve
