WARNING
Never fill the system while the lid VENT valve is closed. Always
monitor the filling procedure and close the inlet valve when liquid is
coming to an end (you will see sputtering). Always visually monitor fill
levels, tanks, valves, and hoses for leakage. While the system is
protected with pressure relief valves, care should be taken to ensure
overfilling or pressurization of the CUP chamber does not occur.
Running the Agitation Wash Cycle
−
For Alcohol Bulk Crude to
Distillate (Preferred Method)
From the Operator Control Panel, select the desired Agitation Wash Cycle. The Agitation
Wash Cycle is used to fully remove bulk target compounds. Alcohol is transferred into the
system and flooded to 1 inch above the material bag
. Recommended fill level is ½” to 1”
below the top of the basket. It then undergoes a bi-directional agitation aimed at
removing all targeted plant compounds. Make sure the vent valve is open during
agitation.
NOTE:
Use Delta’s closed zipper bags. Make sure bag is properly and evenly loaded.
Draining the System
Upon completion of the agitation cycle, open the discharge valve to drain the system. Make
sure the lid vent valve and the keg vent valve are open to ensure proper flow. The tincture
is diverted to a properly rated storage reservoir for further processing. Make sure at least
most of the liquid has been drained before proceeding to Spin Dry.
Running the Spin Dry Cycle
From the Operator Control Panel, select the desired Spin Dry Cycle, set the parameters,
and press start.
NOTE
: The Spin Dry 1 and 2 Cycles allow the operator to pre-program the drying
sequence. Select the RPMs and duration time for each step.
The Spin Dry Manual Cycle allows the operator full control of the RPMs; like a throttle for
speed control.
WARNING
WARNING
Never leave the system unattended during the Spin Dry Cycle.
Always monitor the system for excessive vibration. If excessive
vibration occurs at any point, immediately push the Emergency Stop
button on the front of the Operator Panel and resume with lower
RPMs until the batch is complete.
When using Spin Dry, never allow excessive vibrations. If the
balance of the basket is causing excessive vibrations when the
cycle reaches maximum speed, gently walk the speed down using
the RPM-down arrow until there is no more heavy vibration. If
heavy vibration persists, stop the system and re-balance the bag.
