Anyone using the ETS LHBES 1200 yet!?!?

[surfguy1936]

I recently purchased this about 6 months ago,It is a very solid tool, however I am still having a couple random issues at times, not to much as far as yield, but more as my end product when , I cant get to fully dry out,the first thing that came to mind after discussing with some other people as well, was that my humidity is to high were I am at, and yes this very much could be the case, but I have pulled runs just fine in higher humidity as well. The other possibility, is that maybe the gas Im running have some contaminent in it. I use either a mixed gas, or propane

 

[gaiusmarius]

wow that thing look real nice, what size batches can you run in there and what kind of yields we talking about?

 

[babelfish]

very interesting...

 

[surfguy1936]

U can put anywhere from a lb to a key in there. And obvious yield depends on what u use but my average is from 8-11 % but they have gotten really high returns. Also depends on gas propane pulls a quality product, just a little less yield. But product comes out better with lower quality

What do you mean when you say it won't fully dry out?

 

[surfguy1936]

Well I've done many runs but lately. No matter how thin my layer is the top is dry but the same stays wet, I was thinkin cuz maybe Ive been using the same tank fill, that there is contamiment in the tank

You may have absorbed some water. You might add a filter dryer to the system.

 

[surfguy1936]

Hmm ok...now to fully clean out my tank as well do I have to do a nitrogen purge

If you put a filter dryer in the system, and pump the butane in a circle through it and the tank, it should clean the moisture out of your tank.

yea filter drier.. a refrigerant recycling drier that is a molecular sieve and a drier to clean your tank I use one like this but with a parker 303 filter.

[FatherEarth]

I assume you are outside of the US? Somewhere that allows you access to clean propane...?

 

[RegisPhilburn1]

I believe you can find clean propane at Airgas, praxair, etc. along with the pure N-Tane, and pure Iso Butane

It kinda sounds like the OP is asking how to "dry" his product to a crumbly state, i.e make Wax, but maybe im mistaken.

 

[surfguy1936]

ok thanks Gray Wolf, ill see whats up. and Father earth no im in the states, theres only 1 company i have found around that can do custom mixes for you, and they have instrument grade propane

My custom built extractor is very close to the ETS design. I also use the same recovery pump that Matt does.

 

[surfguy1936]

hey Gray wolf so i have the C-082 filter already on my recovery pump, so with that would i be able to clean out the tank if i just run it through. Because I have seen liquid go through the little glass screen on it a couple times

Any of the filter dryers will work, if they are large enough and aren't already saturated. We use an E-032 as an inlet guard for the pump and add another filter to dry out the butane.

We actually have a Robinair refrigerant pump and filter dryer, which pumps in a circle from the tank, through the filter dryer, and back to the tank. It has a replaceable element, which can be baked out to regenerate.

I scored it at a Chrysler dealership bankrupsy auction, as part of a refrigerant recovery and reclaim system.

We just put in an order for one of these units. We did a demo and got a 22% return on a nug run. It came out a bit dark, and a bit sappy... the buds had a tad bit of moisture in the stems as they were just about 2 weeks into curing. Therefore, shatter was not an option. It wound up waxing up for the most part in the AI vac oven. i was able to heat it back up to sap, but really wanted shatter...

oh well, next time i suppose... the machine is nice though. Its the only ETL listed extractor in the game

 

[Gray Wolf]

What temperature did you run your recovery pot at?

 

[Green Dot Labs]

we used a mixed gas....

the heating vessel circulates water at 90 degrees and my recovery tank is just in an ice water bucket. about a 45 min full recovery time for 4.5# of mixed gas

You might try dropping the 90F to 80/85F. Amazingly, the color starts at about that level.

We use 85F and get light extracts, but much more and they darken.
