Preparing the Material
1. Prepare the botanical material by milling it to a medium-coarse grind (1/4
– 3/8 inch
mill size) prior to loading into the filter bag.
2. Note the input weight of the material to be loaded into the primary filter bag. Exceeding
12lbs of material is not recommended.
Loading the Filter Bag
WARNING
An unbalanced basket can cause major damage to the bearing
assembly and excessive wear on the system. Proper loading of the
filter bag is VERY important. Always make sure that you pack the
material evenly as you go, by layering and lightly packing each layer.
Repeat until the material is evenly loaded. AVOID STEMS AND
STICKS AND UNEVEN LOADS WHENEVER POSSIBLE. THE
MORE HOMOGENEOUS THE PLANT MATERIAL THE BETTER.
1. Load the material into the primary filter bag. Load the filter bag evenly so that the
material is evenly distributed.
Loading the System Basket
1. Gently place the preloaded filter bag into the system basket keeping the material
equally distributed as shown in
Figure 6-2
. After loading, evenly press on the
material around the top to ensure an even, balanced load.
