Po-man’s depth filter:
- 0.5-5micron polyfelt (or ptfe) filter sheet from dudadiesel
- 1.5-3" OD TC spool (OD and length chosen depending on how big a filter you need, ive never had to go more than 12" long)
- filterplate endcaps (sintered is not required)
– cut sheet to the “depth” you want the filter to be, roll the sheet up, very tight, to the point where it will when stuffed into the spool and “unwindes” it is very tight. (if it can slide out via gravity, its way too loose)
Now cap both ends with the filter plates, (bowl reducer/filter plate is preferred on bottom half)
–Those skilled in the art will be able to take it from here, theres a 1000 ways to configure the top/bottom filter plate/paper and/or DE/Silica to suite your operation.
This has saved tremendous time filtering solution in a ClosedLoop compared to sintered disk.

picture is without flower in the tube as i don’t need to make prerolls today, but place the chopstick as shown after you fill the cone (both fills if you are doing kings) and run the motor. The chopstick compresses the flower in the cone providing a perfectly even preroll
also @cyclopath i believe you were interested as well

Just did the same thing haha. Except it appears the .5um is out of stock. But 1um should be good.
This totally blew my mind, I had the exact same reaction as you haha.
I’d say this is easily one of the best tips I’ve read so far…
@CollectiveObjective, you sir are a genius.

Could use a cheap vacuum chamber and a pump or get a China oven for 500$ and a harbor freight vacuum pump
well that s the beauty of what @Renchi the original poster came up with
all you need are but some caps

I give them to custumers that break the volume of bought oil down this way they can keep the oil under vacuum in any jar with a wide mouth

I have the 1 micron and 5 as well.
Edited: @CollectiveObjective already stated needed filter depth, just needed to reread the post.
Max amount of solvent that will be going through it would only be 6#.
Wow this is great! Another use i just throught of is get a small one wounded and place it ontop of a CRC column, it should work as a prefilter and defuse the liquid so it doesnt move the powders when pouring in.
Damn u could even stack these, and go 100->50->10->5->0.5 replacing them would be so fast…

this is also a fantastic way of creating seperations in your colomn when running
kief or kratom in a cls to prevent clogging

It’s a pretty versatile product for sure I can already tell!
@Thetetraguy, another good idea! I didn’t think of that, great way to spread the solvent out!
Now we gotta see what these babys can do as an inline filter, ill start running data for ethanol extraction and see how many miles these can do.
P.S.
The panda felt filter tek i set up along time ago, has gone through 500+lbs of extraction without being replaced, i just take out the first bag and dump out the kief. So this inline filter should last a long time

Mine should arrive Saturday. Monday I will be putting it to the test. I will report back if this product is useful for my shoddy shed tech operations.
