True, but the bottom valve is good for other things besides soaking. I was just pointing that out.

Oh I know homie. I just feel like thatās for more advanced extractions. Let the OP get some successful runs under his belt then go expand. Some of these people need to walk before they run.
I just feel these people are using their ājacketedā columns wrong. Then they see the valve and think itās a good idea to close and soak. Then wonder why they have brown extracts and ran a ādewaxingā material column.
Iām just trying to simplify it for him.

and I appreciate it a lot thank you
ādrain port, drain portā
i cant hear you!!
āDRAIN PORT, DRAIN PORTā
for real tho, any machine that requires any more disassembly in-process than exchanging a material sock is detrimental to safety, your back, the clock, and your wallet

Iām with you on the drain valve, CIP, and streamlined workflow. Iām not sold on the socksā¦
My experience with socks was that biomass loading was reduced by 50% or so. ie loading 4-5lb in a 6x48 rather than 8-10lb.
They make loading and unloading a breeze, but surely they donāt save enough time to make up for the yield loss on each run?
Just ordered the high pressure clamps. What is a true dewaxing setup?

The 1.5" ones from OpenSourceSteel and the 2" and 6" ones from GlacierTanks.

Hereās a picture of my setup. This is a true single solvent dewaxing extractor. There are tons on the market. Every single extractor company offers some form of this whether on a rack or inline like I have it.
You can see I can chill my material. Dump the butane/oil mixture into that middle chamber which is MATCHED to the amount of solvent I run. That middle chamber holds 6.5lbs of solvent at 80%. I leave the butane/oil mixture in that middle chamber for 2 hours or so. There is absolutely no material in there. Just butane/oil! After 2 hours of letting all the waxes coagulate in -65c. I then dump the mixture in my collection for recovery.
This is just my personal extractor. I seen @Cryo13 extractor and his is practically the same but rack mounted. Itās all the same concept. Just different layout.
Mine is a hodgepodge of parts. I can run this extractor 2 ways. One way like the picture. This is a 1lb dewaxing extractor. BUT since my base is 10ā. When I want to run a bit faster or the material doesnāt need dewaxing. I just run a 4x24ā jacketed spool directly to the collection. And run the appropriate amount of solvent for 2.5lb runs.

What size is the middle chamber 6"?
No 10". So when I want to do a true dewaxing I want a middle dewaxing column that can safely match the amount of solvent being passed thru the first columnā¦ So basically if I were to mimic the middle setup of yours I would want a 6Ć6 jacketed column.

6x12 plus the 1.5āx6ā on the bottom above the valve. And yes your going to want a 6x6 dewaxing chamber of you using less than 3lbs of gas.

So it sounds like for the mean timeā¦
Use the high pressure clamps,
Drop all sight glassā¦
And valve
Use dewax material column and only itā¦
Blast FAST and COLD!!!
If you do this and no soak u can get pretty dang close! Just make sure u wait 30mim to reach temp and keep dry ice full!
Donāt run that any other way than @Killa12345 trying to show you if your trying to Inline Dewaxā¦ Donāt wanna get hurtā¦
No reason to do all that when that system set up right will achieve very very clear terps and stones!
BTW we all make mistakesā¦I think @Killa12345 fixed me about 5x already!!!

Could you use a pretty assembled 6Ć6 closed loop lid as an end cap for the 6Ć6 jacketed column? To give it a pressure reading and a purge port so afterwards you could recover butane left iver from the 6Ć6 dewaxing column or would that not be worth it/safe. https://www.hardwarefactorystore.com/extractor-lid-for-6-tank/
U need hemispherical lids for inline dewaxer
Not for Inline Dewax noā¦
BTW might wanna talk to @Killa12345
ā¦ If your looking to build, might be worth it
Thank You.
To be honest one more timeā¦
You really should just try running without ur non Jacket column, pack your jacket column w materialā¦ Go straight into collection, pack everything w dry iceā¦ Blast fast and cold no soakā¦ Instead spending anything!
After guidance by these guys I think I can take cls and get pretty damn close without the inline!
.and simple coil to chill solvent can get you freaking close as thatās gonna do IMO ā¦or nitro pushing cryo solventā¦
remember I said CLOSEā¦so close I donāt think the EYE can tell

I have a 1x36 dewaxing spool, I did a freeze and ran it straight thru and did a warm water recovery and it was probably the most yellow batch I ever had. I upgraded to 2" to reduce the amount of dry ice needed. I actually have yet to even use the 2" dewaxing column I have yet so Iām going to try it out next week and Iāll post pics after.
