Need to know if this is a T shaft or a GV shaft?
can I use this for 100-300ml batches of 70% disti 30% wax
That’s a CAT right? I’d definitely give them a ring and ask, their customer service is usually great.

it’s a T

It looks like a T design for tissue homogenization.
Also emulsions …I don’t get what it is you want to do with this..?
What is it you refer to as “batches of 70% disti 30% wax”… does this mean you are distilling some crude and collecting a viscous fraction that is cannabinoids and wax?? This homogenizer does not seem to be your tool , Why would you want to subject a “disti” to a high speed sheer ?

I’m looking to fill carts and dispos so I was hoping to decarb bho and mix it with distillate and homogenizer with terpenes
Do you know if I can just buy the g type shaft and swap it out on the device?
Put it in some water and turn it on ,they spin about 5-to 20K rpm/. And create sort of a vortex…that can mix in some air….?/
then try it first with your terp solution…see if the amt of mixed air is acceptable??
Then add the Concentrate to the terps little by little until you get it to the concentration you want…it will either work or not work…it might be messy and and not work/. Just give it a try.

How can you tell?
Do you mean put it in a water bath?
Not really. Just put the tip in a jar of water and turn it on. Look at the “action” produced by the tip at various speeds for a solution exhibiting the viscosity of water. Then perhaps do a syrup solution.
Then ask yourself what is the viscosity of my cannabinoid solution I want to mix, or homogenize depending on your formula make up. To me it would seem a question of can you mix your cannabinoid formula with out undo introduction of oxygen from the air.
There are differences between mixing solutions, and mixing that produce homogenates, which involve very specific additives…what ever you formula is, just give it a try…in a small container.
That particular unit is meant to mix volumes, may be 10 to 100 ml. I don’t think it is ever going to scale up to production scale for you.

I’m looking to make between 200ml-300ml volumes at a time so not anything crazy. I’m making like 1000-2000 pieces at a time and every 100 pieces is a different flavor
the action watching piece is insightful thank you for the knowledge on that
Yes you can use the T and G style shafts with the same drive motor, but you can’t convert a T shaft to a G one

So I can take the shaft off the device itself and by a g shaft right? This looks like a t shaft?
Do you know if I’m making small batches if a t shaft is ok?
Correct 
Sure you can use the T shaft with small batches. Just make sure you have enough material for it to flow in that hole on the front of the shaft.

How would I go about cleaning it to make sure I don’t ruin the whole device? T shafts let the fluid go in the shaft right?
Meaning I have to keep it on a hot plate the whole time and keep it at temp for the minute it’s under the mixer
Just don’t forget to cradle the balls, if you work the T shaft…

Understood. I’ll get a gshaft

Yeah the fluid flows through the shaft. Both G and T shaft types require heating the distillate to lower viscosity.
To clean you remove the end of the shaft up to the bearings. Soak in alcohol, dry, then reassemble.
