I don't see anything about pressure in the cylinder Butane turns to liquid about 2 or 3 bar depending on temperture
So if the cylinder is full there is no room for expansion, how does that work, even a butane bottle is only filled to 80% how do you know how much liquid is in the chamber

Hi, thanks for your comment and question. As you say, the gas bottles aren't always 100% full so it's important to slightly underestimate the capacity of the tank rather than overfill it with butane. Knowing the maximum capacity of the tank and the volume of the gas bottles there shouldn't be an issue. I hope that helps.

Hi, can you tell me the psi pressure rating of this system?

Hi, thanks for your question. The manufacturer does not supply any information on the pressure rating of this extractor, neither in the literature provided with the unit nor on their website. The only indication is that the pressure gauge included with the extractor has a maximum pressure of 150psi. I hope that helps.
Best wishes and happy growing!

Hey K, thans for your enquiry. I checked with the shipping team and it appears there was an error and in fact we can send any of the Herborizer extractor models to Australia, not just the Mini Closed Loop. We've updated the pages now, if you have any more questions please feel free to ask! Best wishes.

Hi,
I was wondering if you have a bi-directional model available, as well if ball valve upgrades are available? Thank you.

Hi J, thanks for asking. I'm afraid not at the moment. These Herborizer systems are aimed at the home extractor, so while they are built very well out of high-quality materials, they don't come with all the "bells and whistles" that many much more expensive systems have. All the best, happy extracting!

Hi,
I was wondering if you can ship this to US? And if so, about how much the shipping cost to Pennsylvania would be. Thank you.

Hi J, thanks for your question, unfortunately, we are only able to able to ship this unit within Europe. For years people have been importing this type of system into Europe from the USA, so I don't think you'll have any problem finding something really good closer to home. Sorry I can't be more help. All the best and happy extracting!

Interested, but the purging it further for 72hrs, that's insane. I've seen one website suggesting purging for 3hours only. wouldn't that would be sufficient? Maybe there is a way to test BHO for the quantity of the remaining butane?

Hi Mario, thanks for your question. The purge time partly depends upon the final result and texture you want to have, but as a general rule 3 hours would be insufficient. If you're doing an initial water bath purge then less time is required in a vacuum chamber, however, the water bath method is fairly rudimentary and old school tech. I'd always recommend using a vacuum oven and purging for anything fro 24 to 72 hours, depending on whether you want to end up with shatter or wax or budder etc.
If you have access to a good laboratory then yes, they can probably test the BHO for residual solvents. Otherwise, it's possible to take a small amount of the BHO on a dabber and expose it to a naked flame, and if you see or hear small sparks coming from our BHO, then the extract still contains gas and must be purged further.
I hope that helps, all the best and happy extracting!

Ciao Davide, scusa ma non è possibile perché questo prodotto ha già un prezzo speciale, non cumulabile con altre riduzioni. Cordiali saluti

It would be less complicated if pneumatic snap connectors were used obviating the use of tools to fit and remove hoses.

Hi Roy, thanks for your comment. You're correct, of course, but I imagine that would increase the price and may put it out of reach of the target audience, the home-grower who wants to safely make clean BHO. All the best.
