Data Sheet ASC-150 24 kW Solvent Recovery Plant US-Version The ASC-Series, one of the most modern distillation plants worldwide, is constructed with a compact design, is powerful and very easy to use. the set time has passed or the tank of dirty solvent is empty, the plant switches automatically to Timer 2. Timer 2: Final distillation mode "Sump Distillation": The continuous filling is stopped and the remaining solvent mixture in the vessel is evaporated to a thick concentrate. After a set time has passed the plant switches off and is ready for manual or fully automatic emptying. The distilled and cleaned solvent flows continuously from the distilling plant into a nearby tank. A further characteristic of the ASC-Series evaporators is a slow-running agitator with automatic self-adjusting scraper blades made of PTFE. These blades optimally clean the conical evaporator vessel and need no re-adjustment, which is of great benefit during daily operation. The total distillation process is controlled by a SIEMENS microprocessor. The ASC-150 is OFRU´s most popular vacuum distillation unit out of the professional ASC-Series. It includes a modern integrated steam heating system. The emptying of the high-viscosity residue is done via natural gravity over a drainage valve at the bottom of the round conical vessel. A particular characteristic is the conical distillation vessel made of stainless steel, where the lateral surface is heated with steam. The steam in the double jacket transfers the energy extremely fast into the solvent. At the same time a high distillation rate is attained with a small vessel volume. Only an electrical connection is necessary for the integrated steam heating system. The plant can be refilled again automatically with dirty solvent after e.g. a one, two or three-shift operation. A new continuous recycling process then begins. A high-speed vacuum pump transfers the dirty solvent to the evaporator and guarantees a continuous 24-hour operation. During automatic distillation the quantity of solvent evaporated is gradually and automatically replaced. This automatic process can be adjusted with the timer.
