What are you bigger guys using to spin terps off??? I don’t think the 6x50 is going to be large enough. I just found a 4x250ml used on eBay for $500. Seems like that’s the ticket but I can’t find any separation filters for it.
Thanks in advance!!

We can fit 100-150g per basket and the fuge fits 4 cups giving us 4-600g loaded per run.

Were in the process of getting a much larger 6x1000l bucket centrifuge up and running so we can up our volume significantly. Guessing it will allow us to spin about 4-500g per basket x6 so 2.4-3kgs per run.

Probably not fast enough either. It can take a few hours for good seperation ime

@thesk8nmidget that merry go round you posted is pretty fast yeah?

How high of RCF have you managed so far with those baskets?

@thesk8nmidget’s “merry go round” has a name you know… if you look closely it’s clear that the machine prefers to go by “Carol” :joy:

Carol Baskets is her full name and shes a THCA queen!

Max speed we run with our baskets is 1500rpm (1400 rpm in that picture which equate to 394 G’s or 394 RCF) . We haven’t spent much time increasing that speed but will in time.

Lost 3 out of four screens at full speed (3k rpm), but only one jar disintegrated.

Failed at max load (~200g) at 1500 rpm. Backed off to 1300rpm 130-145g. reduced consequence of failure (spares & not glass!), and started slowly exploring faster again

Screen needs support.

I’ve got a couple ideas, the tolerances are really tight on these things unfortunately(.75mm clearance between the two sides total as I measured it)

Never used pentane. He means 10 percent of pentane to oil or 10 percent oil to pentane? Assuming from pics 10 percent pentane to oil?

This looks like a coffee strainer I have

That’s what they were for before they were adapted for this

That’s exactly what he means

You should not be using pentane. It’s more dangerous than butane and without a better understanding of it you could get hurt.

What do I need to understand?

@44northorganicfarms It can make you go boom :ok_hand:

In my experience people tend to be much more lax with pentane cause it’s a liquid at room temperature (just barely) and not rapidly boiling like butane or propane
