That’s BIG…

Can you clarify a bit? Largest one’s I know commercially available are 5L

[Capttripppp]

What about the one that Sohxlet had?
He had that big one he was looking to sell that process two pounds at a time

72 Liter, 8 ft tall Soxhlet apparatus for sale

This custom made gem has been my bread and butter for years. Unfortunately, under the new rules in CA, I am no longer able to use it in my extraction lab because it was not “commercially produced and bear a serial number”. The round bottom two neck flask is a 72L, and comes with mantle and analog rheostat. The solids reservoir holds about 2 lbs of plant material with a loose pack. The apparatus stands about 8 feet tall fully assembled. DM me if interested. Have to show @Soxhlet … [soxhle…

Guess it’s not too crazy after-all! Wow!!!

[Sidco_Cat]

Do you know your way around this equipment and associated methods?

[analyte]

Not at this scale… Best of luck though!

[Sidco_Cat]

@Soxhlet whatchu up to?

[Capttripppp]

It wouldn’t tag him when I tried it I don’t know why

[Pupparoo]

Wasnt there a guy on here who made a tri clamp soxhlet?

Not that big iirc, but with stainless you could probably just scale the whole thing up…

My 72L setup is in storage collecting dust. I’d love for it to find its way to a good home…

Stainless steel soxhlet extractor

I’m feeling rather proud today. I love doing soxhlet extractions. Bad thing about it is that everything is usually glass, and so fragile and small. This made me think about building a soxhlet from all tri-clamp pieces. It took quite a while, but I finally worked out a design that will accomplish this. I have designed a completely stainless steel, all tri-clamp system, complete with vacuum takeoff. Really nice thing about it is that the whole extractor portion is only 29" tall and consists …

I’m sure you’d have some trouble making something like this without at least one custom length spool so the spacing isn’t off.

[Neutral]

I would approach this by making it out of stainless triclamp parts off the shelf. You can have a 12” spool as your material column, an end cap that goes to a u bend with 1.5” as your siphon arm, then return to your boiler. Same with the boiling arm.

A 30L glass vessel sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.

Just FYI. When you do build your monster soxhlet add an external heat source to the side arm where the vapor travels up. Large soxhlet tend to reflux when pushed to high requiring more energy from the mantle, even the you can’t take a solvent past it’s boiling point the excess energy can cause products, mainly alkaloids to degrade with long extraction times, if money is not a problem one could have a short squat soxhlet with a sprinkler style head at the bottom of the reflux condenser and fix this.

We can make a big glass Soxhlet setup
