Like these!! Like what if there was a way to get something like these on the bottom of a base and have the base jacketed and those hose inlet areas were able to rotate freely with the base while the hoses stayed stationary.
The hoses would be going thru the spinning heated plate.
Honestly maybe even like a heated centrifuge kind of solvent distillation might be a good way to go about the the spinning/agitation. Again though, the rotational joints and heating.
Yeah!!! A heated centrifugal solvent distillation rather than extraction!!! The heated spinning plate could be part of the spinner and there could be a rotational joint that allows it to spin freely from the triclamp spool. It would have massive scalability capacity…
Because with a fuge you would just need to clamp down the base. Given all the parts would need to be rated for ethanol and need to be explosion proof and spark proof … It would be a nifty idea
An orbital shaker under a jacketed collection and base is a good idea. Use something like a large stainless vacuum bellows to connect to the condenser for the flexibility. Set at the right speed, one should be able to get the liquid flowing around the walls and bottom of the collection pot/boiling flask pretty well. Might be a fun trick trying to see what’s up through the sight glass while it’s shaking.
I’ve been thinking of the same sort of thing for sometime now and I was even thinking about using some cryogenic oxygen tanks that I have by taking the inside tank out and putting a bearing in where the neck is now and having a motor turn it inside of the other tank that it’s jacketed by and heating fluid up inside of the jacket while it’s spinning. I am willing to donate a few tanks to somebody if they would like to try to accomplish this.

It’s really hard to find a digital rpm controller that are like the ones that are on an re-501… Can anyone chime in on where to find a similar digital rpm controller that I could use to control a motor turn table motor or just a motor for spinning things in general.
Because it doesn’t have a removable bottom. The whole idea behind this is for not only utilizing stainless but also to be able to harvest the concentrate easier.
