Great vibratory sieve

[JamieShoes]

very nice... pretty close to my own idea (which also involves an orbital sander but with sandwich boxes/tuppaware as catchers).

Seeing yours working so well has inspired me to make it more than just an idea, I'll post some pics if I ever get it done

Hadnt heard of the resin reaper either so thanks, I'll give it a look over and steal any good ideas from it


I also have some ideas about using my bass bins and trying out various frequencies through them for vibration, so if anyone has any ideas on that, I'd like to hear em



Great Job GW!

currently checking out lab sieves thanks for the pointer there Chaos

I was just talking with my buddy about using my dewalt sander or making some sort of shaker table with it. He has a welder and all that jazz BUT damn you have one nice prototype going there.

When does the commercial model come out???

Thanks!

We are just playing and have no commercial aspirations, but the Resin Reaper is already out there commercially at $450.

Ive used a pocket rocket on male plants to collect pollen never crossed my mind to use one on my sieve. Us old dogs love new tricks.

Ok, prototype finished and the performance trials were run.

As you note the Lexan has been replaced with a sheet of 1" Nylon, because the vibration was cracking the Lexan. We also added door sweeps to keep fine particles from being ejected around the edges of the plate.

Lots quieter with the nylon plate and adjustable rubber feet.

We also changed the screen tensioning design.

On two runs, it produced about 1% high grade kief by weight in 2 minutes of running frozen cured sugar leaf. Microscopic examination shows it to be primarily mature resin heads and an examination of the dregs show it still has resin, but mostly stalks.

Sorry I don't have extension tubes for the camera yet or I would send you close up pictures.

lookin good.

I need to show my mechanically capable buddy this thread and see what he can do with my sander. I am sick of running my stuff in water and would prefer dry anyday.

Interesting technique for really excellent looking dry sift.

 

[reckon]

I just made a quickie version of this, using some 110 mesh screen, wooden frame, and a 25,000rpm - 3/32'nds throw R/O pneumatic sander (I used to use it for buff/polish/finishing work on custom cars/bikes)

HOLY CRAPO!! :jawdrop:

this thing made 2 grams of really clean dry sift in about 4 minutes, from about an ounce of trim, and some frosty leaves, and looking at the material I used, I could still make a bho run with it, the heads are all knocked off, but the stalks were mostly still there

I gotta nail it down or something, because yeah, it likes to walk all over the table, and I should try and find an electric finishing sander, running my compressor to run my sander, to make dry sift, seems a bit ridiculous, but NOTHING ON PLANET EARTH has more "sanding oooomph" than a dynabrade pneumatic sander which is why I wanted to use it.

great idea OP, thanks very much for the post up (and your buddy is a kick ass welder btw!)

Good job bro! Enjoy the fruits!

Sounds like your results were similar to mine.

Thanks for the good thoughts and I will pass your kudos on to Roger!

Hey grey nice results from the prototype, looks awesome. I am jealous of your kief.

thats actually pretty cool

 

[BudToaster]

GW -- thank-you for a very nice thread -- i'm inspired to try this.

 

[real ting]

Nice craftsmanship, that kief looks awesome!

 

[Green&Gold]

I'm asking my handy-boyfriend to make me up one of these for my Christmas gift this year. Great idea. Thanks for the pics and revised design.

A pneumatic palm sander might be a good upgrade to that, I don't know how good the electric one works though. That is really cool and I wish I had the time to make one that is a couple feet long, and put a pneumatic board file on there. That would be a pretty fast way to get some good dry sieve with alot of trim. 20 gallon bubble bags, or a huge kief tumbler..... Decisions decisions....

You're welcome! Hope you love your's as much as we love this one!

you make a plastic ring out of a lid and stretch a bubble bag over it fill it with sugar trim and duct tape it to the sides a few big. air pumps, that will do it. put it on top of a big poster on a hard floor. you could even make layers that way.

you could get a paint shaker...... lol
