About Solvent Recovery Unit
Specification:
On-flammable solvent liquids used for the binder extraction test can be successfully recovered using the solvent recovery unit. The recovery unit consists of two stainless steel chambers, one for the dirty used solvent and the other for the cleaned recovered solvent. Solvent in the left-hand side chamber is distilled by an electrical heater and then passes through a water cooling system and drops into the second chamber ready for re-use. A temperature switch automatically stops the heating elements when the recovery process is completed. The unit is supplied complete with 10 m plastic tubing, tube clamps, sieve insert 0.6 mm opening and one lid.

FAQ's of Solvent Recovery Unit:
Q: How does the Solvent Recovery Unit achieve high recovery efficiency?
A: The unit utilizes a distillation method, powered by an electric heater, to separate and recover solvents. Its water-cooled condenser rapidly condenses vapors, and precise temperature control ensures efficient recovery-reaching up to 99% efficiency for most organic solvents.
Q: What solvents can this unit recover and where is it typically used?
A: Primarily tailored for organic solvents, the unit finds widespread application in pharmaceutical, paint, ink, chemical, and electronics industries, supporting both small and large batch operations with capacities from 10 to 100 liters per batch.
Q: When should residue be removed from the system and how is it done?
A: Residue should be removed after each completed cycle or when indicated by the control system. The unit features a residue drawer, allowing for easy cleaning and safe disposal of non-volatile waste without dismantling the equipment.
Q: What are the main benefits of using this solvent recovery unit in industrial operations?
A: Key advantages include significant cost savings from solvent recycling, reduced environmental impact, high operational safety, energy efficiency, minimal noise generation, and compliance with industry safety and emission standards.
Q: How does the safety system of the unit operate during the recovery process?
A: The system monitors temperature and pressure in real-time, activating over-temperature protection and the pressure release valve when required, thereby preventing hazards while ensuring continuous, safe operation.
Q: What power requirements and control options does the unit support?
A: Operating at 380/415 V and 50/60 Hz with power consumption between 2.5 - 5 kW, the unit features a PLC or electrical panel for automatic or manual operation, providing flexible integration into various industrial setups.
