Looks nice man. How many turbo pumps are on it? Also i think the KD10 is a Rolled film. Just FYI Rolled film startup is different than a wiped film. Also make sure before you turn the turbo once your vacuum is stable. As soon as you turn the jacket on you need to turn the wiper blades on a very low setting regardless if you’re feeding it.

Yeah those PTFE rollers hate stagnant heat.

Did they tell you to stagger the temps by 10C each pass? I’d definitely experiment with that as you get it dialed in. I’m not sure if temps are the same for wiped as they are for rolled. Those are wiped film temps. Make sure you clarify with them.
That’s one expensive ass monster though good luck
Are the trash outlets on each pass collected in a ball? Or they hAve dosing pumps for outlet ?
What’s that machine to the left of it?

Nice I have the same unit but two phase. I posted a SOP for this thing yesterday in another thread.

the trash is collected on each pass, but for the first pass we only use the first 2 stages for terp stripping, an yes we have residue pumps for the bottoms

Yeah do you have a link? I’d be very interested in seeing this. Can’t seem to find it on the site.

wow thanks man, i am already seeing a difference
Your temps are way off if you’re trying to distill on that second evaporator
158 c 300 to 700 microns vac for 1st pass terpene strip
178 on the second evaporator to get mains out as deep of vac as possible
183-188 on the third to get the tails out as deep of vac as possible
No need for more then 1 pass on a 3 stage if operated correctly
If you’re running fast you might need to up each temp by 5 degrees
I’d also up your feed temp temperature so you get a better terpene strip

If the unit breaks I’m pretty good at working on these, keep me in mind. Glad you liked it.

I run 175 on final residual strip and get low single digit remainders. Wrap the evap bodies with fiberglass cloth and you wont waste as much heat.

will be looking into the fiberglass wrap as soon as i get back in the lab on monday:ok_hand:
I’m also running at 7 liters per hour on a 6 inch Yhchem
I could go low and slow but I have like 200 kg a day to process so that wont work
Feed rate matters a ton when it comes to evaporator temp selection
