Here’s a setup that produces a clean extract every time. This was with an amazing and experienced lab team. The system has a direct ethanol chiller with cryo pump, centrifuge with chilled jacket, vacuum filtration unit, Rotovaps and wiped film distillation system. They use the oil to make carts and edibles.
Here is the rough ethanol routing map for this setup.
Pump, Centrifuge, Across Chiller, Direct Chiller, Tank, FPHE
-40*C ethanol extractions saves work downstream of removing lipids and fats.
R2D2 lookalike vacuum filtration system.
RotoVap for separating oil and Ethanol
Wiped Film Distillation
Inside Centrifuge bowl that holds ~30lbs. Spins at 1900RPM.
