I can dm you all the parts if you want? I was going to use a magnet or a ferromagnetic coupler but in the end I built that one. It’s quite standard, I just copied what people where selling. It uses several gaskets that are rated to high temps and long term use and has an internal sealed lubrication pocket. I’ve had the system well over 100C and it was fine and didn’t leak. Good vacuum too.

Make a thread with a detailed parts list, with links, instructions on how to build the “agitator” etc. it’s what this forum could use in these hard times.

Thank you for all the kind words, it was a labour of love for sure. I’m in the UK and sadly the law and covid has forced our business to change so its no longer needed. Months of design and manufacture and I only got to use her 5 times 
! I’m still to scared to add up what it cost me …
I will try and dig up some of the CAD files for the rotary feedthrough but it was mostly drawings on scrap paper in the shed 
but heres some close ups of it.

Its a good idea to be able to valve off each section. Id add a main dump valve to the collection so you can seperate the material column from the collection. I would actually not use the dump valve, rack mount it to a board and use smaller valves is what I wound up doing.

I’m confused as to what you mean? There’s a main dump valve under the material column, right above the collection tank.
Im gonna remove the main ball valve under the material column. I don’t plan on doing any soaking.
I plan on building it up a bit more and rack mounting it in the future

for example- when I had a setup stacked like that I had a big ball valve on the collection, connected to another big ball valve on the column. That way I could take it apart without gas escaping. And that way I can pull vac on both parts and fit them into a freezer for hours to chill them.

Bit of a upgrade arrived today from the good guys at @goldleaf_scientific. CAT x 1000 homogenizer fresh from Germany with a g20 shaft and stand. Upgraded my glass collection a bit. Also ordered some quality stainless steel fittings and a nice winters pfp series gauge to replace the cheap Chinese fittings that came with my stainless steel vacuum chamber, probably over kill.

I get most of my fittings and valves off ebay. You can find some steals. Most companies wouldnt ever use any swageloks from ebay so they are cheap. But remember, these parts are found in someones toolbox after they retired or quit, they can be used. I got a batch of 45-8 valves and they were no good so buy from trusted sellers who offer returns.

Recently found a salvage yard that sells swagelok and parker fittings by the pound. Awesome

I was gonna get a fancy valve before that was used in a lab for gallium experiments. I figured gallium in the oil is a no no. Used valves and fittings are sketchy.
