Use and Assembly of the BVV Closed Column Extractor.

For the newbies, what do we google for to find those parts on your custom intake pipeline? What's the part that has 3 connects called so I can add the compound pressure gauge? I'm stuck just trying to figure that out. I googled "site glass" but got a lot of things, some which look like what you have, but it's not clear which one has the connectors that will fit, and I don't know what those connectors are called anyways so don't know what to look for in the descriptions of the various site glasses. Please help a fellow newbie blast tuber out. Might be cool to add this details or even sample amazon or website links into the description to help us. Would love to duplicate your custom one.

[@rossfriesen1779]

What would happen if you filled the tube half way or less?

[@PromNightDumpsterBaby420]

Do I have to cut the top of the little nipple off that's on the pressure gauge. I kinda wanna leave it on? What's the reason for this? Also what's the least expensive vacuum/chamber combo thats powerful enough for a 180g column? Thanks!

[@nimo517]

What’s the diameter of the house tube here? 1.5? 2in?

[@Jmarosii]

@Nimo the diameter of the spool/tube is 1.5-inches. The hose in the video is a 1/4-inch HVAC hose.

[@amanfromthewest7326]

Please keep sharing

[@diamondsky3530]

Do you sell hoses for valves and pumps not bought from bvv?

[@KrazeyKraka]

How loud on a scale of 1-10 is the unit compared to a single stage diaphragm pump where the diaphragm pump is a 10

[@mike420fan]

You guys sell filtration components for these? I'm buying one this year forsure

[@jasonmarosi3503]

Check our the AFS filter kit. It’s like a coffee pod for color remediation. You will need a pressure assist to speed things up. We suggest nitrogen at about 30psi. Alternatively we have sintered filter plates and Dutch weave filters for filtering down to 1 micron.

[@mike420fan]

@@jasonmarosi3503 just need filter screens.

[@jasongladfelter115]

Will it hold the pressure at room temp for as long as the original can

[@jasonmarosi3503]

The longest pressure test we performed in a system closed is just under a year. So it will hold the pressure for as long as you like. To perform a soak and pull more yield

[@josephadams6998]

I'm confused on how the pressure stays in there

[@michaelvazquez8717]

You vacuum out the air, turn the ball valve to seal line. Add butane tip and seal can, then turn valve whole the can is still pressed into the valve.

[@Jmarosii]

@Joseph Adams the +/- pressure is held in the spool using valves on either end. You typically won't keep the spool under pressure, the valves are to assist full saturation on the material. Also, used to hold solvent in contact with the material longer, for your desired soak time.

[@gordharris6909]

Recently purchased a closed column best value extractor, with the 20lb N butane tank, adapter, and hose.. we pull a vac on the column and hoses. Warm butane tank to 85-90 f, and open the valve on tank as-well as valve on top of extractor. For some reason we cannot get any liquid butane to enter the system. As for pressure the gauge goes from -30 to +5 lbs and tops out there.. when we shut valves and attempt to dump contents nothing but a little bit of air pressure comes out of the column. If we disconnect the 1/4” hose from top of extractor and open tank valve, almost nothing comes out of the tank, what does come out can be held back with a finger.. Any ideas what is going wrong? P.s. this is the second butane tank and is still doing the same thing.. We have eliminated the extractor from fault because small butane cans work with no issue and we can get 60lbs of pressure with those cans..

[@raklem2833]

Butane has to be chilled to go in to liquid form.

[@pammac1511]

Add dry ice to column using a sweat pants leg or item to hold ice against metal Then run butane into material let sit for hour and remove ice from metal. I let ice fall to floor and place bowl in middle of ice not ice in bowl but bowl sitting on top/ around ice and release butane

[@krakenchips1837]

Try flipping your solvent tank inside down, the pressure of the gas will force the Liquide butane thruw

[@jordanseger]

Flip the can upside down lol?

[@goddammitboi]

lol Okay bro

[@Stephentko]

Can you use a regular air 100 psi gauge??

[@Jmarosii]

@StephenTKO you sure can! We use a compound gauge (vacuum and pressure) that has a male NPT fitting.

[@mike420fan]

So why and how long do i use the vaccume? Also i use it after i fill the colume with material? Im confused

[@Boaters_hub]

muddymike207 cannabis read the gauge on the coloum? -30 hg on the vacuum on the coloum. Steap 45 mins and release oil slowly: purge 12-24 hours at various heat for various grades of oil.

[@isaachernandez764]

@@Boaters_hub You say that I have to leave the cannabis soaking in the gas for 45 minutes?. before releasing it slowly to the pyrex container...

[@PromNightDumpsterBaby420]

@@isaachernandez764 yes exactly!

[@greglondom3620]

This question has to do with how much solvent you put in. Are you trying to go to a certain point on that gauge and not go past a certain point. I know on your website it recommends one or two cans depending on the size of the tube. But I would assume that would also depend on how much material is in there as well.

[@diamondsky3530]

Do you have smaller mesh screens?

[@roberttaggart5757]

30 Micron

[@robbarro4953]

I don't see you guys offering the setup with a gauge like this video shows. Does that exist?

[@thisunity]

might try looking under Extractor Parts

[@nusultanelk]

Can i attach dewax column to it?

[@josephgonzalez1213]

What’s the reason for pulling a vac? And if I pulled a vac and blasted one time should I pull a vac again before blasting again cause when you open the bottom valve you loose vac?

[@Jmarosii]

Joseph Gonzalez every time you use the tube and blast you will need to pull a vacuum. Otherwise it will not fill will solvent. Skipping the vacuum will result in a partial fill and you won’t get a complete soak on the material.

[@Jmarosii]

Joseph Gonzalez the vacuum is lost each use.

[@josephgonzalez1213]

Best Value Vacs ok thank you 🙏🏽

[@skylerbrown9769]

Best Value Vacs After you blast can you stick it in a water bath for 10 min and then release? Thanks -Sky

[@UnitBeerMonsta]

Whats preferred psi?

[@roberttaggart5757]

60-80 psi

[@ripcurl50]

Can you put dry ice in this also to make liquid co2 extraction?

[@Jmarosii]

ripcurl50 I wouldn’t recommend the dry ice. That would make a pipe bomb.

[@theoldcolonycultivatortheo4098]

Trying to be nice here. There is no sort of home brew co2 extractor. And further. They don’t tell you this. The stuff extracted by co2 needs refining. 10s of thousands of dollars of equipment and labor to come up with what they make. You can use co2 to super cool the column but they have stuff setup for that. Good luck and be safe, and if your not sure just don’t do it lol.

[@jamesconnerbircher5812]

or you can just buy a rosin press and get beautiful delicious solventless extracts full of terps

[@Jmarosii]

Liquid co2 wouldn’t go into it if you tried. The steel is far too warm it would instantly turn to gas. You wouldn’t be able to stop the phase change fast enough in such a small space. You can’t achieve supercritical phase in the column with these valves either. So it would be a bust.

[@michaelvazquez8717]

​@@jamesconnerbircher5812 and 5% yield

[@getupgonow3231]

How about a cold trap to capture unwanted sediment waxes and lipids from damaging the vacuum?

[@Jmarosii]

Not necessary. It’s typically dry material going in. If you vacuum from the bottom you will pass vacuum through the filter. So any debris won’t go to the pump. You shouldn’t be using the vacuum on any waxes or lipids for this process. The vacuum is used before the solvent. So you won’t have any free lipids or waxes.

[@STOFFINJA]

what exactly are in the cans? is it empty?

[@PromNightDumpsterBaby420]

Butane
