Are you getting two of these bags with 2lb of bio in each bag to fit in one panda?

[OilArt]

Yes. With the lids of the panda removed, they fit in without issues.

[Champone]

I cut out the black ring so the whole basket inside isn’t blocked at all but still a tight fit. Is yours tight also? Do you flatten the bags any?

[OilArt]

I flatten them prior to extraction so they are sort of flat already before entering the machine. I just put one in first and make sure it’s on one side, and then slide/push the other one in. It can take some force but they always fit.

[Champone]

I’ve been fitting one at a time and I thinking about flattening them just great thank you

centrifuge filter bags

I can confirm that the Polyester Felt bags in a panda is the bees knees. I bought 100, 50, 10, and 0.5 micron sizes and double stitched bags for each size. I place all the micron sizes inside and use all of them at the same time. 100->50->10->0.5 It filters about a gallon per minute or more. Ive liked it so much that im now experimenting with using powders inside the bags, so the solution is being cleaned at the same time its being filtered. But 0.5 micron is no problem with the other sizes…

centrifuge filter bags

I have two pandas, one for biomass after ethanol extraction that uses a 200 micron bag, none of the bags are closed off at the top its just a cyilnder with one side closed off at the bottom. On the filtering one, Alcohol does start to spray out the top if u pour the alcohol against the top inside of the basket. I pour so it lands on the middle about 1/2 way between the middle and edge and it doesnt seem to be an issue for me. The powders will go through the first couple of bags but doesnt go p…

How do you remove the black lid from the panda? I took out the screws but its still held in place do i just need to pull harder?

[OilArt]

There is a screw remove in the handle as well. Aside from that, I believe you just need to pull harder.

[Champone]

Just take a husky knife and cut out the black inside ring so the whole basket is exposed

[ky_cbd]

I yanked really hard its off now

[Demontrich]

I’m going to have to mod mine now. It’s been 3 uses and 8n tired of fighting those mesh bags and hope they dont rip.

[ky_cbd]

Its still pretty hard to get the bags out. What kind of bags are yall using?

[Demontrich]

Full mesh bubble bags from ebay

160iu inside a 73iu bag
Or equivalent size bags

[OilArt]

If you scroll up, you will find the bags that I use. Two of these bags fit perfectly into the panda with some force. Each bag can carry 2.0-2.5lb of material (depending on particle size).

Currently at 12lb/hr using 2 x 55-gallon drums, 12 of these bags, and 4 pandas.

Is this machinery up to code for lab use?

[Champone]

You put 12 bags in each drum?

[ajonesy777]

Following up on this, verdict?

[ajonesy777]

What machines will be a few thousand or under and compliant with hemp pilot program guidelines for processors?

[Champone]

Nothing

[ajonesy777]

Are you suggesting that it is not possible to efficiently extract hemp via ethanol and recover solvent without either a washing machine or a machine over $10K?
