I think its funny that these equipment companies are so out of touch with the industry that they dont understand to need high cost industrial throughput equipment one must have extremely high monthly sales 
and at that point I know huge companies moving 100+ lbs a month that are still using jartech and sitting on rooms full of back stock, IMO its a hard stretch for any existing labs to commit to new equipment while still paying off the old outdated stuff and its hard for a new lab to justify buying new equipment when they can get an entire lab built from used equipment for pennies on the dollar

This, coming out with a “new extraction unit” right now is rough. Even huge companies can extract plenty of material. That’s why there is literally tons of bulk material sitting in vaults across the country rn.

I myself have dabbled in the fine art of isolation inline using flowrate and temperature!
Nice work
Hmm i wonder if micro etchings on reactor walls and rods running through the reactor would facilitate deposition and crystallization rate?!

Agitation of the mixer is promoting the nucleation. If there were no mixing, maybe. And even then, solubility and saturation play a larger role

Why so large? If it holds over 8# of THCA solution you would need around 200# runs if yield was 4%.
Sizing doesn’t seem right if it only takes an hour. How many labs are running enough to run this thing 8hrs a day? Not trying to be neg just trying to understand.
This part is not directed at you but Xtractor Depot. No vids of it working and very little info on the site so they force people to deal with a salesperson to just learn about it and get a price?
I have seen your terp jars on IG and I am guessing those were produced using the concept not the actual Titan Isolator. If a working Titan Isolator was used I’m guessing you would show it.
I assure you they are in the wild and running right now!
I designed the system, did the r&d, and created the concept. Its not a fugazi
I see most people using the system at the end of the day to speed up their post processing. One of the spots that has one, it isnt big enough for their needs and a bigger unit is being put together even!

Not everyone runs FF, running decent cured can triple your extract output in a day easily. I could fill this to capacity after two pours.

That would be great for a lab that wanted to use it to isolate for other extractors. Seems like a great business opportunity for that purpose since It’s prolly out of many extractors price range.

I’ve been asked to look at this system. I would really like to get some clarity about the fresh frozen versus cured biomass factor given our facility runs 99% cured.
Also, it would be very helpful to have more information as others have mentioned. A couple of very short videos seem to be all that is available right now. Pricing for this machine is $75k to $150K depending on size from what I’ve heard and there is a significant training cost that I’m not sure experienced extractors would need.
Will you be at the convention in Vegas next week?
man, is distillation dying??
is this the new way??
been talking with Matt over at the genome project about going this route.
seeming more and more like the way to go. run all day. crash out all the THCa at the end of the day. wash the HTE into a secondary vessel. decarb THCa (or don’t). remix HTE in later to achieve different products.

Yes. This is the new way.

Until hydrocarbon can scale like ethanol this will only replace distillation up to a point.
With the maq for hydrocarbon being what it is there is only so much biomass you can run.

what kind of scale are we talking?
yeah I guess it’s always relative, but I know the vast majority of people aren’t at the scale where they’re maxing out their MAQs.
Aside from the MAQ though, I was under the impression hydrocarbon extraction was more efficient/scalable (until you reach their MAQs of course).

2k lbs a week seems to be the number I hear alot
That’s alot of biomass
SOME need more capacity
For MOST folks 2k is multitudes of what they process in a week.
