Solvent Recovery Systems

     
PROFESSIONAL DIstatic
The units of the series Professional Distatic are distillers which allow the recycling and reuse of degreasing and washing solvents.
Through a simple distillation process, they separate the contaminants (resins, polymers, pigments, paints, oils, etc.) from the original solvent.
The boiling of the solvent is accomplished by a peripheral heating jacket filled with diathermic oil, heated by an electrical element. The vapours are then conveyed to a condenser cooled by air or water. The condensed solvent is collected in a tank, for its reuse. The contaminants remain as a residue inside a disposable bag, named "Rec Bag", or by tilting the unit itself. The distilled solvent characteristics are not altered by

PROFESSIONAL DYnamic The Dynamic units are equipped with a scraper having adjustable metallic blades which keeps the product to be treated constantly in movement allowing maximum extraction of the solvent and concentration of the residues; furthermore they avoid the residues to stick to the boiler walls and bottom. This avoids also multiple interventions and the use of the disposable "Rec Bags". An automatic drying cycle will allow the residues to be extracted at the desired concentration in a solid state, with a practically total separation between solvents and contaminants.

  ERGONOMICS
These units are developed in a very rational way allowing facilitated loading and unloading operations.
Their rugged frame and simple design are a guarantee for durability.
PROCESS PROGRAMMING
The cycle can be adapted according to the products to be distilled selecting one of the 3 available standard programs :
• Program I :
The cycle is divided in two stages by means of a timer. Every stage is leaded with different parameters according to the characteristics of the product to be distilled and its contaminants.
• Program II :
This cycle is used to recover thinners that might degenerate if brought to particular temperature levels, or solvents bearing thermolable contaminants.
• Program III :
Other programs are available for specific exigencies of the process.
YIELDS
Technical improvements developed over many years have optimised the heating system increasing the heat by over 20% ; furthermore, the development of an exclusive circuit for the diathermic oil, named "Long Life", has doubled the oil life (over than 2000 hours) consequently reducing maintenance interventions. Similar results have been achieved in the condensation, reducing considerably the usage of water for the water cooled systems.
VACUUM WHEN AND HOW
All these units can be connected to a vacuum group "V".
The vacuum is suitable for high boiling solvents or for those flammable ones which have a boiling point close to the flash point. The vacuum consisting of a pneumatic generator fed in continuous by compressed air which allows to operate with a vacuum degree of 80% (-600 mm Hg). A pneumatic vacuostat (optional) reduces the consumption of compressed air. On request, all units can be equipped with different kind of vacuum generators. Vacuum can be automatically connected during every phase of the distillation process.
