ASC-500 37 kW Solvent Recovery Plant

Product catalog summary
Overview: The ASC-Series is a modern solvent recovery plant known for its compact design, efficiency, and ease of use. The ASC-500 model features a vacuum distillation unit with an integrated steam heating system, designed for continuous operation and high distillation rates.
Specifications: The ASC-500 has a total vessel volume of 132 gallons and a distillation rate of approximately 21-42 gallons per hour, depending on various factors such as solvent type and contamination level. It operates with a maximum heating temperature of 180°C (356°F) and a vacuum pressure of up to 50 mbar. The unit requires an electrical connection of 480Y/277V, 60Hz, and has a power consumption of 37 kW for the steam heating generator.
Design Features: The distillation vessel is conical and made of stainless steel, ensuring rapid energy transfer and efficient distillation. The system includes a high-speed vacuum pump for continuous solvent transfer and a slow-running agitator with PTFE scraper blades for optimal cleaning. The process is controlled by a SIEMENS microprocessor, and the unit features automatic operation with safety auto-stop functions.
Benefits: Key benefits include automatic and continuous filling, excellent drainage due to the conical vessel design, and a modern steam heating system that eliminates the need for oil changes. The system is designed to prevent corrosion and maintain constant heating power.
Compliance and Safety: The ASC-500 is constructed according to the latest EU directives and conforms to ASME codes and standards, ensuring a high level of operational safety. It is classified as EX II 2G c T3 under ATEX regulations.
Applications: The plant is suitable for processing 158-317 gallons per shift and is ideal for environments requiring efficient solvent recovery.
Additional Information: OFRU reserves the right to alter specifications without notice. The distillation rate and other technical data are subject to change based on practical conditions.

ASC-500 37 kW Solvent Recovery Plant-1

Data Sheet ASC-500 37 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. solvent. At the same time a high distillation rate is reached with a small vessel volume. Only an electrical connection is necessary for the integrated steam heating system. 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 solvents which is evaporated is automatically refilled by small portions again. This automatic process is adjusted by the timer. Timer 1 "Continuous Distillation": If 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 the time has passed the plant switches off and is ready for the manual or fully automatic emptying. The distilled and cleaned solvent flows continuously from the distilling plant into a build-lateral tank. A further characteristic of the ASC evaporators is a slow-running agitator with automatic self adjusting scraper blades made out of PTFE. These blades optimally clean the conical evaporator vessel and need no re-adjustment. The total distillation process is controlled by a SIEMENS microprocessor. The ASC-500 is a most comfortable vacuum distillation unit out of the professional series ASC. It includes a modern integrated steam heating system. A 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 Typical area of application: 158-317 gal / shift EX Class: EX II 2G c T3 The emptying of the high-viscosity residue is done by natural gravity over a drainage valve at the bottom of the conical round vessel. The plant can be re-filled again automatically with dirty solvent. A new continuous recycling process begins.
