MK III Terpenator Bidirectional Flooding
- Thread starter Terpp
- Start date
The Transforminator was developed by Specialized Formulations to upgrade their customers Mk IIIA Terpenators to use a larger base, so as to allow the use of larger columns.
It is basically a 6" X 10" or 12" end cap reducer, and the appropriately sized tank to match.
They added 45 degree bend in the recovery leg for more clearance and a sight glass on that leg to watch for liquid aspiration.
As far as operating instructions, If you can run a Mk III, you know how to run them all.
I would personally also upgrade to the Mk IV bi-directional flood design, which you can the details of at http://skunkpharmresearch.com/the-mk-iva-phoenix-terpenator/
WolfWurx's Mk IVB Terpenator bi-directional flooding Operating Instructions as follows:
1.0 Starting up a dormant system:
1.1 Visually and tactically inspect system for:
1.1.1 Loose clamps, or clamps that are not uniformly tensioned.
1.1.1.1 Viton gasket clamp bolts are torqued to 44 inch pounds.
1.1.1.2 PTFE gasket clamp bolts are torqued to 50 inch pounds.
1.1.2 Any clamped joint misalignment suggesting potential sealing issues.

Thanks for this!
I always go off of the mkIII instructions and recover down to 10" before dumping. I will switch to pure flow/recovery at all times, as that seems to be the most efficient
I got my MKiv from WW but I never thought about asking you guys what I should do about column and tank heat. I am still battling this problem in my own ways, i may need to just splurge on a bunch of silicone heating mats

You just got a parts list and explanation. Dunno what else you want dude.
I built my first system from staring at a picture and reading till my eyes bled, soooooo I don't know why your seeming to be hitting a dead end here.
You don't need a "transforminator" if you are only running as 12" column as I stated previously. The whole point of it is being able to take your existing MKiii parts and make a mkiv out of it.
If all you want is bidirectional flooding, you can do that with the parts listed previously, you don't need a bigger collection pot unless you are running more than a 1.5" x 36" column
A 6" pot is a hot rod on a 12 inch column. Nothing more required.
I suggest you go to Terpp site and read the assembly and operating instructions and get familiar with your equipment, do the pressure tests, etc. This whole forum is a wealth of information on operation, read the WHOLE "Terpenation at Terepene Station thread", it probably answers most of the things you asked already.
The parts and procedure have been listed already for bi-directional, as well as pictures, and honestly if you have ever actually run an mkiii before it should be self explanatory how do to the top shower.
If you need further instruction on operation I seriously suggest you take a class with GW or someone who offers it before you start working with pounds of butane... I realize this post may sound harsh, but working with a big stainless steel device filled with butane under pressure is not something you should just go fiddle with.

If you had a bigger column it would be worth it. Being that you use such a small column its pointless to use a top shower. If you upgrade to a column bigger than 1.5x36 you will need the bigger pot on the bottom and if you go above a 1.5x24 you may want to consider a top shower. The transforminator is an upgraded bigger column, an upgraded bigger collection pot, with your MKIII collection pot (without its bottom lid), your top lid with its plumbing, and an addition to the plumbing (a hose off the #4 valve connected to a new valve (#6) which you connect by replacing your stainless steel pipe with a ptfe lined ss braided hose. Im not sure why you dont get it, its very self explanatory my man. Do you not have face time with a machine yet?

See I was going to say that but im already giving 707 franchise a hard time with this and I dont want to be the house dbag, mostly because theres enough here already. Nssknight, Flatslabs is totally right man, dont risk hurting yourself or someone else because you dont take the time to learn. Knowledge is power brother
I don't care if people think I am being a dick because I don't hold their hand when there is tons of information available if you read, I don't want someone to blow themselves up because they can't take a few hours to educate themselves.
A person just spends a few grand on equipment and doesn't learn how to use it? I don't get it, sorry.
Im not opposed to asking a question, but hand holding someone through working a big potentially explosive device is in my opinion not something that should be done... unless its in a classroom setting

Couldn't agree more myself.
I still read myself to sleep every night in hopes of broadening my extraction, or even just general knowledge. If you don't have the time to research, then you don't have the time for a terpenator. Lol
Check post 43 this thread for directly applicable Mk IV operating instructions.
For butane distillation, we inject into the Mk III and recover it with the systems recovery pump. Clean the lower pot of MO afterwards.

Ya but you gave me crap about what you read wrong and me not correctly stating the amour of butane in my # 30 tank. lol Your not in the dog house, and I appreciate the hard time, its story of my life but thats why I'm very successful at everything I do!
Anyways
NSSKNIGHT:
Reading everything is helpful there right, reading it sponging everything and then remembering it is another but I made my own reference guide with cutting and pasting everything on the net in files and topic headings so you can easily refer back later when you need that stuff. Cause this site only lets you search titles and topics but nothing within the forum text which frequent topic changes happen and are discussed which are the awnsers to questions you want. But here are a few things I found an easy way to get around having to ask questions that are on the internet somewhere on this forum.
There is Terpp.com and they have directions to the mk111 building instructions and pics. They will also sell you the bi-directional flood parts if you make them
also they have a blog where austin talks about some stuff that you might want to know or seeSkunkPharms web site should be your first stop then here. Read it all!! I am
Specializedsolutions.com become a member and have access to there videos and thats about it for the membership so its probably not needed. But they sell equipment there and parts and sell classes in oregon and theres some useful stuff there.
Terpinator.info site that Austin from Terpp puts a blog on and has some info and updates and a blog ect.
This site, Terp station forum title, I printed the who thing and most of what I cut and pasted in my personal reference guide is from there here and other post on this site.
I think that if your in California, or actually anywhere just order a tank of n-butane and be done but thats just me. ecogreen sells tanks.
Do you know how to transfer solvent/gas specifically butane?
Also read the first forum titles where they talk about safe ways and wheres of bhp extraction, using fans, no sparks, clothing and stuff that you might not think of so you don't forget something take notes too.
I think googling butane, read the MSDS and forums about the safety, and how to transfer ect. how much your recovery tank can hold....
For me after I understood butane the rest is learning marijuana's guts. Whats in the oil I want to make and how to get it out and how to get the other stuff I don't want out of that. Then how do I make it look like that, and this. And then the most important which you probably know cause you might have open blasted and purged but how do you know when its a safe product.
It goes on forever and ever because its evolving as we speak.
But you have what you need, the M111 lucky you!! Lots of folk wish they had your machine! you sound like you don't need to run 50 lbs a day just a little so the system they sold you is perfect!! Super efficient. No need to spend more money!!
Spend that money fly to oregon and have lunch and learn the mk111 and network get some numbers and bam your making bomb medicine for yourself. lol
so forget about the upgrades unless you want to top flush for less waxs then I understand, its just making the vent line at the top your inlet and instead of bottom flooding its top rinsing thru your column thru the dump into collection pot. its doing what you do when you pull the dump at the end of the normal cycle just flooding from the top in order to do that.
I am new, Ill always be new cause then I remain teachable and able to relate. Those guys that have to tell you to research and read and trial and error and come back after that and don't touch your machine till you understand and read. YES they have great points and tips and are right. This is not a game, its is dangerous really dangerous if you don't know what you are doing to an extent. But I say this Read the Terp station forum all of it and print it out and read it when you have nothing to do again and then ask away any and everything, its the readers and the members choice to reply or even read your question and I would rather you ask a question then do something without any advise and blowing up. Or hurting others or making deadly poison medicine for the masses cause you didn't want to read.
And Dab don't worry bout it, well all make to the finish line. but I guarantee when we get there mines gonna be bigger than yours
I have tough skin, we all friends round here! lol
