CUP and ilk will get you through a fair amount of weed. not sure they qualify for even medium scale on the hemp side. yeah, you can do 100,000lbs 30lbs at a time, but why would you want to do that?
if “Louisiana rules” means shit’s got to be called “hemp” before it can be used as medicine, then something CUP-like is not inappropriate. I see you’ve been reading. if you haven’t run across this Ethanol Extraction White Paper you might want to check it out.
I’m currently trying to get 500lb a day through CUP-15 like object; Ace15 prototype. Which was clearly too small the moment I laid eyes on it; hence it’s bigger sister the Ace30. I’ve managed 450lb . there are better tools for the job much beyond that scale, and they are scaled well beyond.
Edit: Checking out the 30 or so links that appear beneath the first post will likely also yield well.
I hope
