So I had a “duh” moment in another thread where someone was asking about centrifuge filtration. Has anyone tried to rig a panda the way Roguelab rigged his spin drier in this thread for coarse filtration? I don’t mean to look like I’m spamming multiple threads with the same thing, just thought this post would be very relevant for this thread, given that other thread was more for CO2 extractions.
From what I was looking at with the panda, it looks like the same could be accomplished with a few minor tweaks given the slightly different design and unfortunate safety features. This would beat the shit out of using vacuum filtration for the coarse run and trying to keep the alcohol cold for such a long time and constantly changing filters as to not pick up nasties from the biomass particulate. ESPECIALLY for those of us re-using the solvent for multiple batches of biomass as mentioned in the bucket tek thread. I’m thinking a 10 micron mesh sock would be sufficient, with the 7" plastic ring centered in the basket with wire.
