@Killa12345 had great systems that are built and designed by an extractor @Killa12345 himself

How are you chilling?
I actually am studying mechatronics in collage for the past while, already working on doing all the automation, this thing will be far beyond what is currently on the market, fail safe systems along with programmed protocols. pre programmed extraction parameters, ability to save recipes. Logs saved of what the sensors picked up during the run. Oh and a butt ton of good old exact repeatability.

Easy enough to do controlling pressure and time.
The Mk II Terpenator was automated using a programmable controller, as were the Mk -VA, and the Mk-VA2’s using a chip which we had programmed. Circuit boards by PSI and control panel by Moi.
The Mk II and Mk-VA used pressure switches and the Mk-VA2’s used a pressure transducer to track the process. The program activated air solenoid valves, which controlled pneumatic ball valves.

Been a minute since I posted that. We modified the machine to have 2x3’ columns so we do 4-6lb runs on the machine. We also added the carbon scrub after the collection.
It’s funny how much BHO you can supply on even a small setup like this.

I think I saw this at NECANN… the only downside is the price.
I could be wrong but I believe he told me somewhere around 425k
No drill thru there is a pass thru fitting u use. Maybe look at titan fittings. They have all sorts of compression fittings. Ur gonna want a double ferrel compression
I disagree with @420guy
once the fitting is welded into the lid, drilling it out is superior to replacing it.
I’ve got fitment so I can clamp stuff down on the mill, and @TwistedStill was kind enough to slip me the required tooling to turn the mill into a BIG drill-press. I don’t recommend freehand.
if the fittings are not yet welded in, you can absolutely buy them bored through (add BT to the Swagelok part number), or do it yourself. although there the recommended tool is a lathe, rather than a drill press.

There is actually a pass thru fitting available. That part maybe a pass thru union or something?
Im not a metallergegist not sure if boring it out does anything to the intergrity of the piece? If its froze down low or something?
Prbly a 30$ part im guessing
Mustv missed the welded to lid part? Lol
Sawgelock is expensive. I usually use titan fittings cause cheaper. I havnt had any issue wirh their parts.

not a reader either…
the manuracturer refers to them as BORED THROUGH
https://products.swagelok.com/en/c/straights/p/SS-400-1-8BT
you can also bore them your own damn self.
No, OEM does not “bore them out” at this point.
No, don’t do this freehand.
yes, so long as you’re not touching the taper the ferule interacts with, or heating it up to a million degrees because you’re boring with a blunt instrument, you can safely perform this trick in a machine shop near you.

I read just fine as i dont pay for over priced sawgelock unless i need it same day.
which is why you restated that “they actually make a pass through” ?!?
(or are you assuming it’s ME who can’t read? So you had to say it twice?)
yep. Swagelok call it “bored through”. as does Parker and Tylok at this point.
cause the first ones were made by a mother fucker with a boring bar on a lathe.

Most likely by a machinist? Not sure of his fabricating skills. Considering what he is working with.
And im not the small parts guy just referenced where he could find the part
U certainly knew what i meant
As it happens, he was EXPLICITLY asking a machinist when he called out @TwistedStill (So I made a thing to decarb with.... …now you know)
@FicklePickle most likely had a 3/8" compression fitting WELDED into the lid.
the fact that you can buy that fitting “as a pass through” from titan fittings doesn’t solve the problem.
he would need to buy a new lid with a bored through fitting.
OR ask is buddy the machinist.
yes, you absolutely
but unfortunately purchasing that part does NOT solve the problem as presented.
yes.
…and my contention is merely that you understood neither @FicklePickle or myself fully.
edit: Led the horse to water. got it h2o too. wtf is it dead?!?

It’s not $425k, a few points lower than that… for now. But $ isn’t a downside when the upside is that it basically prints substantially more $ on the output.

for CBD maybe, ive never seen a cannabis operation go as smooth as plug and play parameters even for the same strain from the same cultivator.
There are so many nuances and variables I don’t think were at that level of autonomy for something like that system to be implicated properly.
