Your system looks as if it will most certainly work. The only problem that I have seen is that pentane may not be so readily available to the average person. Admittedly, I have not performed an extensive search on obtaining said pentane, and you may have a trusted source.

Does your machine work on "licensed" MMJ MIPS extraction and also for Hemp CBD oil extraction. This would be for a legal and licensed op in Colorado.
Do you have a web site bro?

Pentane goes for about $65 a liter on Amazon. They have 4 packs (4L), but they are always sold out.

I have been getting Pentane from these folks: -- http://www.rightpricechemicals.com/buy-n-pentane-99-online.html
The price for 4 liters works out to around $150.00. The 20 liter barrel is only $400.00 or so but is hard to work with. I use a siphon to move the Pentane to liter sized bottles when I get the barrel.

I wonder if they can create a bigger system?

It's a standard jar size. Get bigger jars for a bigger system. That option probably adds $100-200 from them.

I am talking about a commercial and licensed set up in a legal state. Big setup. The cheapest (Good) ethanol system for MMJ or hemp extraction that I have found for pretty big production is $95,000.

You are looking in the wrong place then my friend. This is hobby stuff. You could do it on a commercial scale, but there are much better ways to do it. And 95k? Are you distilling for an entire state? Wait, you didn't get a quote from these guys did you?

Ok, seriously though. This is ancient technology. No one is inventing a wheel or anything. You should be able to find what you need for a few thousand. If that isn't big enough running 24/7, then pop for the 95k one, you'll be able to afford it just fine.

I have thought about it. I assume so.

Yep. $200.
The Seamless Stainless tubing is medical grade, The inside of the tubing is electro polished so as to remove all manufacturing impurities. The lids are heavy duty Stainless as are the lid bands and the fittings.
I bet you could build one in less than 3 hours and for less than $200.00.

Our unit is for the backyard extractor. If you want to make a living extracting oil you will need lots more capital.

What do you think about using a chemical resistant poly tubing instead? As long as it is air tight., right?

Chemical resistant is not the same as chemical PROOF. You need to check carefully to make sure the Pentane will not have a negative reaction. An advantage of using metal tubing is that it will cool the Pentane much better than a non-metal. This helps to ensure that you can recover as much Pentane as possible.
