This is the run we did today. With a silica, magsil combo

Still looks really good, though. The clay definitely helps. After dewax yesterday I donāt think the magsil did anything really. But I have a mixture of everything and will see how it goes here in a few actually. About to finish the run up and dump

Everything looks a lot clearer today. Iām assuming that was the pvpp today??

And newer material. But less media than yesterday and flowing a little bit better. Also a larger run

I gotta find a way to get this to flow faster.

Are you doing it in the 4" still? Maybe going to 6" with more area is gonna help speed it up?
Iām ordering some powders, Iāve got a huge 6" sight glass and if I disassemble the dewaxer I got filter plates a cap and a reducer I could definitely make into a filter cartridge of sortsā¦
You use nitro to push?
What about vac to pull?

How big are those filter plates and what filter paper are you using. Been thinking about the
Speed aspect and how it might be better to combine a lot of runs and then bleach it.
Iām might be faster to do this as a
Post processing step in a stand alone stainless funnel. USAlab posted something really cool today on ig.

Yea. In the four inch after my standard filters. I will have to mix something, maybe more magsil to help me flow better.
And definitely nitro assist and vacuum in the tank

i believe magsil and t5 are supposed to complement each other and work better together. if i remember correctly

I know you hate active systems but do you think a cmep might be able to speed things up?

Not likely. My tank is a vacuum
I think I will include more magsil. Whatās weird is that it flows just fine prior to dewax

you dont think vapor assist with a pump wouldnt help

I know. Thatās kinda what Iām thinking. If you can do like 20-30lbs of materials oil at one time in one of those stainless closed BĆ¼chner funnels.
Iāve been wanting to make one of these for like a year.

Not to make either. Lol. People always think. Just cause I can source that in China the cost is mad cheap. Ask @square_root_pharms ā¦
I think his quoted out was like $3000 from China. But was baller will all jacketed pieces and dip tubes and all the bells and whistles
I really only want to make one right the first time. Cause itās just too expensive to fuck up the design and have to live with it.

No I know, those hemi caps are expensive, but thatās not necessarily necessary, I think a flat cap would work for what we want to accomplish, I dont think we would need a dip tube but I might be wrong, I think the advantage is it being a 12" aside from that one could probably downsize the rest of it.
they sell a not so fancy one without the lid for like 950

I might have to volunteer for the experiment after CNY passes if you think this is the way to go. Especially to scale production up if letās say someone is running 4x 5# columns.

Iām not sure but if @Dred_pirate is having speed issues and he runs about as fast as people can passively. Well then the people with much less experience which is just about 99% of people. Then most are gonna have speed issues.

Itās weird that it slows down so much. I may have to transfer it to a different chamber then filter it through. I have another 6" jacketed column that I could use to warm up the solution to send through the media
