yes Justintime420, single solvent dewax sunfire. The client called me after I sent a msg about dewaxing the batch pleading for me to also winterize as per usual, so that batch has turned into a lil more work. I did save abit of the ssdw stuff and noticed a lil more top notes in the bite of the sour then usual, just a tad, and I'll always winterize, Winterize everything. sap er atter. For double solvent extractions. Im excited to try the mz12x, and hone my bio etoh workflow as time allows....
Mainewaxworks, Im very interested in what you might have going on, i msged your visitor msg months ago! What up?! Pm me? Cheers.

So I'm sitting on a blown g5 and after hearing you talk A6 Grower I should rebuild it. Where the cheap place for rebuild kits ? I bet there's a forum on here for that too.

I have been thinking the same thing. I have not heard much about any of their pumps at all.

We have a large batch of NEW CM-EP pumps that we just got in. Ours all have Custom SS316 Compression Tube fittings that accept SS valves at the input and output of the pump. The new pumps have a slight different internal design to address the oil leak issue that some users experienced as well as a few other tweaks.
There is a "low pressure" and "high pressure" mode as well.
These pumps are going very fast. We are now filling pre-orders we had, but if anyone still needs a pump or two, we should have around 10 left for web orders by the last count.
Pictures and all details up on the site.

You have to pay to be a vendor and advertise on this site.
Great. Thanks. We will do that.

Any news on this front GW? I really like what I'm hearing about the CMEPOL but feel it is likely overpriced. Some competition would be great.
The CM EP OL continues to run without incident.
We still await the test sled for the competitive domestic unit, but it is due shortly.
Please keep us all updated to your machine function!
GW, how many hrs do you have on the unit? Have you run both Butane, and Propane? Have you been running a amp load test on the motor? See if it "fades" under use(amp load increase). Have you checked motor temps, after a few hrs of running? Any U.L. Certification certificates? Would like to chat private with you. Email?
We have the test sled prototype and are impressed thus far. It came plumbed single stage, and we haven't yet re-plumbed it to see what it will do in double stage.
It pulls right down to -27" in single stage, so potentially we can recover more butane without overheating our piston seals.
A nice V twin design, that brings back fond memories of scooters past, and with the 3/4 hp TEFC explosion proof motor, it is heavy enough that it takes two strong lads move it around, soooo ve vill be adding a cart.
The recovery rate is similar to the Haskel under the same conditions, pointing out that to really use all of it's and the Haskel's potential, we need more evaporation area that the ~110 square inches provided by our 12" diameter recovery pot.
Perhaps the next great frontier, as 12" is about the limit for sanitary spool clamping systems in our application. Perhaps multiple pots, rather than larger ones, or a two stage system where the mixture is reduced in horizontal tubes for greater surface area, and finished in pots so that they are more easily removed.
After some static pressure tests here at the lair, we did butane recovery runs at Specialized Formulations to establish rates, and then a couple extractions, before moving it to a production facility than can put some serious hours on it. They actually have dueling Mk V's, so can potentially try it on two machines simultaneously to test my surface area hypothesis.
We verified seal compatibility before running but I've also asked for prints, so as to see what it looks like inside, so we don't have to tear it down to find out.
I already know from it robustness and long proven history, that it isn't prone to breaking, so don't see the need for extended testing, but do want to know more about how it is made, before encouraging the manufacturer to proceed and there are a few minor detail that need to be addressed, such as packaging.
It already weighs enough to require a cart, so a little added purdying up weight won't be noticed, though the sight of the robust V twin is almost enough to get my rocks off, and mah throttle hand twitching, so too much sheet metal might be a mistake.
More as thangs unfold...................... At least two strokes short of orgasm at this point, but continuing to look promising.

You come up with some wonderful bits of poetry sometimes GW. You should put that one in your sig...
Am in the process of testing the bigger version of this with the dual chamber. Have run first part of the testing with 120 voltage setup, but plan to run it through its paces wired up at 220 to see what the differences are. Even though it says it will push 60 psi, I found that it was closer to low to mid 50's, & like the Gast's it doesn't like starting up with much pressure - needs a regulator set for around 30 to keep it happy.
It was run from 12 x 12 collection chamber @ average pressures of 30 psi in the chamber with water bath @ 70 degrees and running through a 3" x 48" tube of 3a before entering the pump, then into a MT69 that was in the same water bath before going into the freezer into a 65/35 propylene glycol water mix bath @ -30 degrees and then into a ambient temp tank. (the same setup I used to get # from my TR21 which is 13 lbs per hour). The output was 17 lbs per hour, but like I mentioned, it is picky about pressures!
Will get more info in the next week or so, adding the Appion #s as well as DB levels for the 3 pumps with the same setup.
BTW how are the Gast's doing, & does anyone know anything about the new Gast 86/87 series?

You should not see any difference with the pump 120 vs 240 voltage. It will run the same RPM at both. It will help balance your electric load at 240v. The motor may also run just a little cooler at 240v.

Same amount of watts though. But 240v does normally run cooler.
