i wonder what grit to use , the 2 micron? or can i use whatever grit and add a 2 micro paper. im saying 2 micron because the DE is 4-5micron. i dont want to contaminate my oil
Have you guys noticed that carbon tends to grasp thca when washing for the regular in line filtration. Some test for our scrubbed & polished shatters are coming 27-34% while our unscrubbed extract will hold 72-80% potency. Any thoughts?
Bbv offers a bleaching powder use this first 180° for 10 to 15 mins this will decarb with out the darkening it like it likes to do when you decarb fliter out the bleaching powder re run it thru the 545 and active chacoal... i just warmed the tincture the first time and that helped a lot but the potency was so high that when i mixed it with terps to make cartridges it crystalized in the carts... I tweaked the process with the bleaching powder now i have pale yellow clean carts that dont crystalize n they are way more fire than anything iv got from the store
We typically do this process if we need to winterize the material before distillation. To catch all the waxes. We have cleaner distillation runs with filtering. Cool fact. Celite 545 means 4.5 microns for reference.
@josephmcdonald it would depend on your preferences for what you would like mixed with the carbon. We have a wide range of options available, including carbon alone and various other media. Feel free to look through our website shopbvv.com or give us a call (331 281-0154) for more information.
@garydoherty7043 maybe you have a screen/filter clogging too fast? You can use a 1/4HP rotary vane pump on a buchner funnel. In this video we used a 1HP vac pump.
Could you theoretically not winterize and still do this process, removing the ethanol in a rotary evap, pouring the product onto parchment and into a vac oven to still retain stability? Or can you winterize and still end up with a stable more shatter like product. I understand that if i want to put into cartridge or syringes i need to dewax and winterize but what if i just want a cleaner shatter?
Guy for BVV said we still get clean shutter If fat stays in product, anyone try to achieve that and get GOOD RESULTS? After, celite-carbon, no wenterization process, rotary avaporator(remove ethanol), vacuum owen. Anyone?!
I'll chime in. Hardly anything is lost except for the tiny particulates and chlorophyll. The main loss is what the filter media absorbs and you can recoup that with a decent wash at the end of the run. Ethanol is cheap and evaporates nice. Use all you need.
Can you explain what the carbon is filtering out and what the celite545 is filtering out . I know it clarifying it. But I would like to the know the difference of whats being filtered
Carbon is used to remove chlorophyll from your extract. Chlorophyll will create unwanted chemical impurities and unwanted flavors in your material. Celite is used as a filter aid, and the carbon adheres to the Celite to filter out any carbon from your final solution. There are a lot of filter media out there! Let us know if you have specific questions about any of them.
@@danielpuig9476 no you don't. Not when winterizing and distilling. The whole point is to separate them. Please do a little more research on what you're talking about.

And if you want to separate you don't just mix with charcoal like that, terpenes are expensive you don't want to throw them away. be humble kid! go to school!

@area51r filter media refers to the material or substance used in a filtration system to remove impurities or particles from a fluid or gas. It acts as the medium through which the filtration process occurs. These filter medias are similar to the medias used to purify your drinking water.
Do u need to heat up the carbon before the scrub ? What size of the celite 545 ? Even i filter thru the celite bed , the color still the same . I even use more celite than what u show in this video . Thanks !
@chris goldbach you want to use the BVV Activated Hardwood Carbon Decolorizing T1. For the vacuum pump, you can use any rotary vane pump. The flask and filter are found here: shopbvv.com/collections/filtration-equipment-systems/products/ceramic-buchner-funnel-kit
@mortezaebrahimi737 when ethanol gets a little too hot and bothered, it can cause some cannabinoid decarboxylation. But fear not! Cold ethanol extraction is the hero here. An observed increase in acidic cannabinoid concentrations indicates that cold ethanol extraction doesn’t play the villain by decarboxylating our precious cannabinoids1. So, keep it cool, my friend!
@@Jmarosii Thank you very much for your answer, dear friend. I have another question Regarding the color of the substance extracted after distillation, what should we do so that the color of the substance does not darken after a few days?
So many people post process with the extractor when they should be doing this. We calculated over 50% loss of THCA when doing this by extracting cold instead of post processing color out.
@davidmcghee7696 there is potential loss while performing any refined extraction. In your case you may have had the solvent in contact with the material for far too long. THCA can precipitate out of the solvent! Running multiple post filter setups to clean ethanol extraction could destroy all your terpenes. Ethanol vs hydrocarbon extractions are both widely used and both have their benefits per desired end result.
John Douglass if it’s a fritted disc Buchner then no. If you don’t have a fritted disc then yes. In my video I had a fritted disc Buchner so no media will pass into the flask.
Have a really old weed and my oil product is dark brown put it thrue activaded carbon and still dark brown could it be the old clohrofiel and it could be taken out with celite 545?
The Celite 545 can be used to filter out carbon that has been introduced, but it will not take out any color from the material by itself. I recommend a hot scrub of the material to take out additional chlorophyll color. Celite should be used beneath any powder in a filtration column or funnel just to keep the powders in place.
Great question! You could use a RO filter to filter out the media and other particulates. The RO filter would need either a vacuum pull or a positive pressure push to get the solution through it. Feel free to give us a call at (331) 281-0154 to speak with a tech.
@@Jmarosii I’m trying to ask if I can do a form of dewaxing with this filter media. Can I take cold butane straight from a open blast and filter through? Or can I use this in a closed loop filtration column?
What I do is put the Ethanol and grass in the freezer overnight when you mix them together they come out yellow none of the green. Then there's no need to add all those silly chemicals you don't want in it. The ideal is to keep it natural not put all that garbage in it.
@noid8814 that is a fantastic operation procedure! When the initial extraction is done below -20 you will not extract the green chlorophyll to begin with. The filter aids used in this video along with the other filter medias we carry are all earth materials, we also use to clean up our daily drinking water.
Moufid Wehbe No you can’t. shatter requires wax to stabilize. This process is really only used to clean the oil to prep it for the roto then distillation. You would have to test the idea with waxy oil to see what the outcome would be. The application is wrong but sometimes it works for some people’s process. We hear crazy ideas all the time. Dosent mean it’s wrong. Just not tried by us yet.
Best Value Vacs can’t you put the filtered content in something like the extract source and get something fairly decent and close to shatter with an clear appearance?
What equipment are you using to actually clean the buchner funnel? I've ruined one (no flow even under vacuum), and another is now becoming slower and seems like the fritt is discolored. I've ordered a sonic cleaner that should work, but really would like to know what you use.
@STLUVNU Nice purchase of the Sonic cleaner! That is what we use to clean our glass pieces. You can run the funnel empty with clean ethanol to clean the fritted glass disc, but it will get clogged over time.
activated charcoal is known for catching odors, so, will it capture terpenes? resulted solutions is so clear...I'll be scared of do it...I need to see some yellow on it, unless its pure cabaninoids solved in there and I want some oily stuff
I cant see clearly in the video but are you still putting a filter in the bottom of the buchner funnel? Or is it the fritted one just without a filter paper?
@mimou This video shows using filter media to clear up an Ethanol extract. Filter media used in our water purification process can be used to remove unwanted colors and particles from biomass extraction. Just as we don't want to drink dark water, we don't want to smoke dark extract. This video shows a simple process to add to your ethanol extraction to create a superior product.
5:06 you must go through ALOT of glass 😅. Microfractures are a thing my guy, and glass on glass is the very best way to get them. In short almost every type of "glass" whether it's good ol' silicon dioxide float, a quartz fusion, borosilicate, or even sintered aluminum oxide have a few key properties in common. Namely they are hard, perfectly elastic, have innumerable inclusions, and are brittle. Individually none of these are bad persay, but when combined they are horribly detrimental to glasses longevity... and the worst possible sinario is a glass on glass collision. With any collision there's obviously kinetic energy that has to be dissipated. For most materials is no issue; steel will ring like a bell or deform if hit hard enough, wood will flex and dent... but glass is kinda an ass about it. Molecularly it's a stubborn old man about it; it won't give an inch until it collapses. This is exasperated when glass meets glass- that energy has to go somewhere. The physical structure simply says "i ain't 'avin it", boots in the mud and arms crossed. The only place for dissipation is via sound, thermal, and radiation... unless the glasses integrity is overwhelmed. Now complete failure does take a fair amount of force, but on a microscopic level all those inclusions are perfect little spots for fracture nucleatiom to occur. Worse is that gass is perfectly elastic: a shockwave is formed and spreads monstrously quickly, but the surface will spring back pretty much instantly... so one little "tink" of glass on glass is actually more like a pair of nanosecond jackhammers firing into each other. Lastly the brittleness comes into play. That energy wants out so damn bad it doesn't care how it gets it, which leads to fractures. Sometimes even full-blown elections of material. So a tap or two won't bust much, but after a few weeks/months of accumulation and failure is inevitable. Just wanted to let ya know incase ya weren't aware. Figured I'd mention the what and the why.
