Before you get started, please remember this:

As CRX™ and CRY™ are not powders and are designed not to absorb moisture before use, no baking or preparation is needed. For optimal success, ensure your flow is gentle and consistent.

RATIOS 

Solvent to Biomass: ratios range from 6:1 to 10:1 depending on the quality of the plant matter you are distilling. Lower ratios for top-tier biomass, higher ratios for older or lower quality biomass.

Media to Biomass: Load 150 - 250 grams of filter media into filtration housing for every 1 lb of biomass. The media quantity used is dependent on the quality of the biomass. Higher quality biomass requires less media. Lower quality biomass requires more media. The lookup table can be used as a reference, but because every kind of plant matter is different you will need to experiment a little bit in order to achieve the best results. That said - this chart is a really great baseline to start off with.

TEMPS

Keep the temperature at -10°C or below while using the media to ensure optimal performance. Our media is designed to prevent clogging.

FLOW

Maintain a maximum flow rate of 1 GPM when transferring from the biomass vessel to the recovery vessel. Our media performs best with a consistent and gentle flow.

To prevent channeling, avoid sudden hydraulic surges through the CRC column.

A shower or initial fill of the column is highly recommended for optimal results.

YIELD

Any lost yield can be fully recovered by flushing the media with solvent. Most users report achieving substantial yield gains by maintaining high solvent to biomass ratios, or flushing our media after an extraction transfer.
