What does leaving powders soak do better or worse ?

Krative · May 14, 2019, 5:55pm

Greater contact time = greater adsorbtion efficiency
There is speculation that certain adsorbants reduce yields on cannabinoids and their selectivity begins to broaden with increased contact time. While this may be true, I have yet to see empirical data validating it.

Using too much yes.

hahaha, totally agree! It’s a versatile extractor but I was thinking the exact same thing

Infoseeker · May 14, 2019, 6:42pm

ive only weighed one run but I’m about to start up again and I’ll test more but 1500g powder run it gained 45gs.

I have a theory that doing a hot loop bypass to build pressure and put some fresh distilled solvent to rinse through the powder may help flush any stuck oil out. I’ll test this and report back

Krative · May 14, 2019, 6:51pm

Possibility the adsorbants are adsorbing undesireables like water and pigments?

Infoseeker · May 14, 2019, 7:22pm

Yea definitely pigments. Didn’t think about water from the atmosphere. When I weighed it right after my run it was a couple hundred grams heavier. That’s why I think a flush of clean solvent will help with getting any last bit of stuck oil out.

Either way in the end my return % is still good and my colour is maybe a bit to clear.

Krative · May 14, 2019, 8:50pm

Anything over 2:1 powder to oleoresin has just been too much for one reason or another depending on the adsorbants in use. Either flow, loss without rediculous flushing, or having to limit my run size based on the amount of adsorbants in use.

Yea I find 2kg/1kg oil works the best for speed/colour remedy

hey @Soxhlet I think I need to hit you up !

Waxplug1 · May 15, 2019, 3:25am

I use 75grams of b80 per oz of oil expected

Dred_pirate · May 15, 2019, 3:33am

Interesting enough. That’s about the right ratio for media. For approximate yields.

Waxplug1 · May 15, 2019, 3:39am

I got that number from using a mini ice scooper…I never weighed it I just added scoops…based on just observations I noticed when it was too little or too much…been using that scooper since…I just recently decided to weigh it

Dred_pirate · May 15, 2019, 4:22am

I use a small mason jar, lil 4oz one for measuring. I still don’t weigh either. I just use 4 parts of each and it works… I did it for a repeating and was asked for it

sonicgardens · May 15, 2019, 4:27am

Ya, im lazy i use a 1/4cup scoop

Infoseeker · May 15, 2019, 4:33am

Are you guys going for water clear? I’m told to make it clear/yellow. 75g/oz is about 700gs more than I’m doing

Dred_pirate · May 15, 2019, 4:41am

Yea I do, for the most part. If a weensy bit gets through I don’t fret much.

Krative · May 15, 2019, 5:51am

Hey all. I’m going to be opening sales to the public pretty soon for our new BHO C.R.V.

Agitation, no motors
Temperature control
Safe and controlled addition of adsorbants
As large a volume as you need, initial models will hold about 55 L
Can accommodate both color remediation and dewax processes in the same vessel
easy and fast filter cleaning and replacement

clouds · May 15, 2019, 12:09pm

is that anything like a Honda CRV?

lol sorry bro I had to take that opportunity

BG305 · May 15, 2019, 2:40pm

When’s show and tell? I should be back on that side soon.
