Pinocchio wants a rack so it can be a real system

That was my only option at the time to clear splatter while wanting to respray column, without a valve on bottom of splatter, like the 12” jacketed hemispherical reducer I desire. I had to take a picture on account of how fucked it was. But I mean it wasn’t going to fall the one centre point is over the truss with a plate and double nuts. One of the sets being nylon nuts. Plus stainless steel cable back ups and I never did it loaded. Just residual in material and powder.

That’s understandable we’ve all been there where we had to make shit happen with what was available at the time

Always triple check all the nuts before I start flow. Even the spacing on either side of clamps is even. I don’t line the bolts of the clamps.

The one that I don’t get is you’d think they’d make the 12” clamps more robust. The one from the 12” spool to the 12” splatter terrifies me worse then the freezer. Like can we not have two bolts on either side for a 12”

No rack cause I’ve been with freezer cooling potential and the crack so I don’t have it turned up to 10. I only set the no2 reg to 30psi not 40-60 and recover at 20 not to ask too much of a bad situation and just get something out as safe as I can. By that we haven’t brought in as much as what’s possible and so upgrades have had to be magivered. But no diy on the cls vessel itself. Only ordered parts. Which is why it got so tall. Now I only use one ball valve sight glass and I combined the crc and material so the interface between material and powder is 6”. I’m not sure how to pack powders without something like pentane? I’m just not sure how to pack powders so I squish it down with the material. Holds it in places pretty good and then it doesn’t go through 1.5” just to open up to 6” again.

I prefer a 6 inch clamp max for volatile solvents
You have a nice collection vessel on coasters or something?
I’m sure @Soxhlet can fab one up

Man a husky rack at home Depot is about 180 with a 3600lb rating. If you can’t get mounts a 4 pack of ratchet straps are another 40. Not great but alit better than the puppet show…
Didnt read all the comments but i use to fill a freezer 80% full of waywr and cjt 2 holes in the lid and mount a sureflo pump or even a sump ( except they heat up the water ) and then just pumped it thru my tube n shell condenser but a wort chiller will work the same

I remember this set up now…
Spider-Man of bho.
Can’t believe he is still running this strung up line that. Holy shit.
Cannot even imagine doing this, my brain wouldn’t let me…just the fact I would have to re string it each run, I would be the one blowing a fucking gasket. I can’t handle shit like that lol
It’s actually errking me just thinking about it…
For reference: I built my rack with pieces of racking like they use at Home Depot ( scrap pieces that I found at my works shop lol) and 2x4’s (also free), I’m not asking for perfection here…

Dude, sell like a half oz and buy a new lid…
Why the fuck would you continue to run your system like this.

The biggest problem here IMO is the freezer. Step one - Get it out of the picture.
Listen to @Sidco_Cat and others warning you.

I’m dead. This is the craziest most impatient build I’ve ever seen. I’m speechless.

Sell the freezer, use the funds to help pay for a new lid. Please discontinue use of freezer NOW.
