Introduction
Introducing BHO Hardware’s exclusive open column material system,
the Gemini 90. Part of our Gemini series, the 90 is capable of holding
and processing between 53-91g of material.
The user Can develop solvent pressure by closing the valve at the bottom
of the Gemini 90 and packing it with material.
A vacuum can be pulled by attaching a hose to the extractor before
administering the solvent and leaving it to soak, the solvent and oil mix-
ture can then be released via the bottom valve.
Manufactured from 304 grade stainless steel, the Gemini 90 ideal for
extracting a range of essential oils. Each tube goes through rigorous
testing procedures before leaving our facility, combined with a two-year
warranty as standard. This ensures our customers receive both high
quality equipment and aftercare when using purchasing any of our
systems.

How To Use
How to Assemble
1.For instructions on assembly please see the complete video walkthrough
How To Use
Packing The Column
1.Firstly, remove the clamp at the top of the column. Then begin to pour
in your material. (Tip: use a packing rod to compress the material, this
will result in better absorption and a cleaner, higher yield).
Once you have filled your tube, re attach the gasket and endcap using
the included clamp.

How To Use
Pulling a Vacuum
1.Once the column is full you can pressurize the column to remove
excess oxygen and moisture.
To do this, ensure that the bottom valve is in the “closed” position. Then
attach a hose to the bottom of the column and open the valve. Next,
ensuring the hose is connected to a pump, turn on the pump and begin
to remove the oxygen and moisture from within the column.
(This allows the butane to be administered and pass through the material
at a much faster rate) you can tell when a vacuum has been reached by
closing and opening the bottom valve.
If tone of the pump remains the same, a full vacuum has been reached.
How To Use
Cooling The Column
1. Freezing the column after pulling a vacuum is highly beneficial when
improving quality, clarity, and yield.
This can be done by placing the vacuumed tube into a freezer or dry ice
and letting the tube freeze for a minimum of two hours.

10
How To Use
Administering Butane
1. Once the tube has been frozen, simply insert the butane into the port
on the top and fill it to the necessary capacity
2. Once you have administered the necessary amount, let the tube sit for
between 10-30 minutes.
(Note: the longer it is let to sit, the higher the yield will be, however the
clarity and quality will also lower.)
How To Use
Removing the final product
1. After the tube has been let to sit, you can begin to collect your
product. Place a container under the quadpod (Such as a pyrex dish).
Next, slowly open the bottom valve to allow oil/butane solution to
fill the container.
The endcap at the top of the tube can be removed at his point.
(See The included specifications If your unsure)

11
How To Use
Removing Your Solvent
1.Now you have your oil/solvent soulution, the solvent can be removed.
Place the container into a warm water (Aprox 40-60°C). This will cause
the majority of the solvent to evaporate out of you oil.
Once the solution begins to stop bubbling, enough butane has been
removed to go on to the final process.
2.Now the last remnants of solvent can be extracted. Place your oil into
either a Vacuum Oven/Chamber.
(If your using a chamber it will need to be used with a heat mat,
available from the website).
The combination of heat and pressure from a vacuum will result in all the
solvant left being pulled out of the oil.
(This process should take a minimum of 48 hours, including flipping the
product half way through)
After this process is complete, your final product is now ready.
