Medium+ scale chromatography tips?

Essentially a bunch of Stackable sieves with differing size mesh for each component of the stack.

Each stack has 3 20 watt transducers brazed to the outside of the stack and each transducer will be offset by 120°.

All electrical connections will be sufficiently insulated so that they can be submerged in cooling fluid and they will be housed by an insulated outer shell.

Haven’t drawn anything up, but that’s the basic idea.

It’s going going be used for refining massive amounts of dry sift.

Not necessarily using ultrasonic energy to decapitate the
captate trichomes… but an ultrasonic dry sifter…?
What is the bit about cooling?
sound interesting. Have you studied the Syrian harvest methods?

I mean you could take the design and just make a much taller stack for the very top where you just just stick a couple freshly harvestly branches and set them into the top stack since the inner walls of the sieve will be in contact will cooling fluid from the other side of the wall, you will basically have a small refrigerator.

You don’t think the ultrasound will separate the capitate stalks from the trichomes?

No I’ve never read of Syrian harvest methods czn you link something?

Whos that little lad in your profile photo?

the syrians cut the Cannabis and lay it down in field to dry in hot sun.
When dry they bring it to storage rooms where they strip it and sieve it…by hand…
it is essentially a dry-sift.
I have placed Hemp in ultrasonic cleaners (aqueous)…and have not found any great level
of decapitation. Examining flowers before and after with a microscope. I was just wonering if you had found an effective proceedure.

thank you.

Someone else asked me about this concept and i shot it down, just due to the shear forces youre subjecting the material to

Youre essentially building a big flowcell reactor and its not going to be very ahem selective

We use ultrasound for cell cracking and cell disruption, so all those contaminants youre seeking to keep out of the extract via shaking those i tact trichome heads off the plant material in cold water

Its gonna make poop soup my good boy

Poop soup.

Oh this aint for bubble hash

For dry sift-
Hmm maybe

Why not start with a bunch of industrial vibrators?

You’re already on some lists, let me tell you.

Right thats what i just said

Got it

that is how the LN2 for hops milling and vibrating screens do it…
separating trichomes.
Yes, assisting extraction seems very effective…very short extraction times…
don’t let the green out!

Or don’t allow all the moisture out of the biomass and the particles won’t rattle apart into dust so easily. With air being the medium for transporting this energy, I doubt it’s gonna have the destructive force you usually see with ultrasonics.

you will have to translate that or clarify your meaning. thanx

This will be used to separate trichomes from the waste that comes from machine trimmed bud. If your trimmings aren’t totally dry they’ll take more abuse before they turn into dust because the moisture content in the leaf particles keeps them held together.

If that’s not the part you wanted clarified, let me know.

so decapitation of stalked,captate trichomes using ultra sound
transmitted through air ?

It would mostly be rattling the metal sieves and not the air…

I would do it using an inert gas that is heavier than air

thank you…interesting
