Yeah make BHO
Explain how a liquidizer removes the fats and waxes?
Then explain how centrifuging achieves it (where are they when youâre done?).
you COULD achieve your goal via mechanical separation (fuge or re-press) followed by distillation of the liquid portion.
That will get you THREE fractions.
You recombine two of themâŚ
So if i understand correctly, the liquidizer donât remove the waxes, he just makes them vaporable, which is bad i guessâŚ
When you centrifuge, you have a white portion (which is thca) and a liquid portion which is terpenes + lipids ? (but if the lipids and waxes are in the liquid portion, shouldnât they be solid at room temp ? And if they are in the white stuff, how do we seperate them ?
Distillation of the liquid portion will remove the lipids and keep the terpenes ?
Then i recombine the decarbed thca and the terpenes ? Maybe i can do the centrifuge, decarb the thca and add a very reputable source for terpenes. Or maybe the decarbed thca will stay liquid at room temp ?
best
You can distill your hte and add it to mechanically separated/decarbed thca
@Juliette i think the most valuable thing for you to do with your time here is utilize our search function and familiarize yourself with some basic process procedures that interest you in order to better grasp what your trying to learn. It will be much more rewarding then asking us random questions that pop into your brain with no idea of particular orders of operation.
Sorry, I am really trying hard. Itâs just that itâs either very scientific and i am lost, or too quick of an answer.
But people here are very friendly and i am getting a lot of help.
I will not stop searching of course
Liquidizer doesnât remove anything itâs just for making a thick oil less viscous but i would never use it because youâre cutting the oil. Would be much better to add terpenes instead of liquidizer
The only products Iâve had success with centrifuging is bho extracts. Youâd probably waste a lot of money trying to centrifuge rosin
I wouldnât try to distill terps if i were you, youâll most likely ruin them
Have you read through this whole thread?
Less viscous
If anyone wants the SOP for removing fats and lipids from your solventless extract hit the DM!
I have spun badder, sugar, diamond, rosinâŚ
You can also double press your rosin to squeeze your fats and lipids out just buy like double or tripple bagging the rosin and pressing it again⌠bam THC-A brick and a minors/fats/terps fraction.
Processing HTE is the new magic
I mean sugar and diamonds would definitely work but youâre saying you successfully spun rosin and badder and separated thca?
Yes re pressing in a 25 micron bag works great for solventless thca
Yes sir. I have basically spun powder.
Interesting. You have pics of the starting rosin before and after you spun it? I couldnât even get sugar to spin off the terps sometimes if the terps arenât liquid enough so itâs hard to believe it would work with a rosin or badder consistency
Have you tried warming your spin?
No i havenât. To what temp?
110-115 works decent. Get aggressive if you want
Nah Iâd like to keep my terps thats way too hot Iâd rather just make a better beginning extract
Itâs not to hot⌠My sugar oven is 100⌠badder 90⌠I recover at 108. My extracts are always super representative of the flower.
I just wanted to take this moment to say TIME is a much greater enemy to your terps than HEAT. TRAP your terps in your extract. If you smell terps every time you crack your sugar oven they are in the air not the extract. The faster you move the better your terps retention.
Donât knock it till you tried itâŚand if turning gravity up to a 1000 doesnât get the job done, there is always turning it up to 10,000âŚ
5000 rpm or bust. Thatâs my minimum
