SOLVENT RECOVERY

Distillation Units Type BS and AV
(For Small Solvent Generators)


The Disti BS and AV units, with filling capacities of 5, 8, 13, 18 and 29 gallons gallons are distillers which allow the recycling and the reuse of solvents through a simple distillation process that separates the contaminants (resins, polymers, pigments, paints, oils, etc.) from the original solvent. Simple, dependable operation makes the Disti series an economical solution for the small waste generator.

Boiling of the solvent is accomplished by a peripheral heating jacket filled with thermal oil, heated by an immersed electrical element. The contaminated solvent inside the boiler is brought to boil while the resulting vapors are channeled to an air cooled condenser where they are converted back to liquid. There is no cooling water required as these units come with a air-cooled condenser. The condensed solvent is collected in a tank for reuse. The contaminants remain as a residue inside the boiling chamber. The residue can be removed by simply tilting the unit itself or by use of an optional disposable liner bag.

The distilled solvent characteristics are not altered by the distillation process, which can be carried on repeatedly. Both units can be connected to an optional air operated vacuum system, which allows the safe recovery of high boiling solvents or for those flammable ones which have a close boiling point and flash point.

The AV units have a removable distillation tank. The tank can be placed where the contaminated solvent is generated and once the tank is full it is moved to the DISTI AV system and with the help of a hoist (see picture) dropped into the distillation unit. The sludge is removed via a plastic liner.

The BS and AV systems can be ordered with 2 accessories:

  • Vacuum assist to recycle solvents with a higher boiling point
  • Nitrocellulose Safety package to safely recycle inks or lacquers with Nitrocellulose
