I was just talking to them last week about selling our old 10” Packer so I would say they are in business,
Anyone have a use for a 10” ?

Price / warranty?
Who exactly would repair this outside of them should an issue arise?
A used prototype is a hard pass unless it carries that family discount with a warranty…
That 8” kicking around still, too?
Top of my second hand wish list!

its not a prototype, its their standard bag packer in a 10” size. and what kind of warranty would you need? The packer is made up of like 3 parts that could fail, a foot pedal, a safety switch and an air ram. all thins you can look up the part number on and order.
Its really simple.
How long does it take to pack 1 6x36”?
like 2-3 minutes
Really? When I was talking to them, they said 10-15 minutes so it wouldn’t have actually saved us tons of time just increase capacity and decreased worker fatigue
thats weird, it would be hard for me to take 10 minutes to pack a bag, but with enough distractions i guess its possible.

Interesting, if its real 3 minutes tops its worth it. I built a sock packing column with an air duct tube from home depot and works great for my size socks. The crew takes a little over 5 minutes to pack one sock. But what intrigues me most about this device is the fact that It removes any stress off the workers from constant pounding and pulling the socks out the column. Packing socks is the most labor intensive job in a lab IMO.

There are some things that are more important than speed, for sure.

the consistent packing, more weight per sock, and lack of energy it requires to pack a bag are the winners in my book.

When you guys run socks do you also need to make sure you do timed soaks to ensure complete extraction?
I ask because in my head it seems like if the material isn’t packed tightly into the column the solvent would just prefer to run down the sides versus through the sock forcing you to do a soak.
How about handling fresh frozen with the packer? Do you pack the socks in the freezer to make sure it stays frozen while you operate the packer? I always used to bring in material fresh but not frozen, pack it into columns then freeze the columns.

We freeze in totes. Pull totes from freezer, freeze down packer with liquid CO2, then pack FF from totes into socks. Each sock goes immediately into a chest freezer. Then socks are stacked en masse in the larger storage freezer until needed. We want to add a cold room for packing, but for right now we pack in a ~50F cool room to minimize melting.

We have had our packer in the walk in freezer in the past but now we dont really run fresh frozen, we freeze dry the flower then extract that like regular dried trim. much easier than dealing with all that extra water weight.

How big is that freeze dryer?
What kind of yield do you get extracting 15-20 freeze dried people? Have I been wasting my money on weed this whole time?
