ASC-500 50 kW Solvent Recovery Plant

Product catalog summary
Overview: The ASC-Series, particularly the ASC-500, is a state-of-the-art vacuum distillation unit designed for efficient solvent recovery. It features a compact design, ease of use, and a modern integrated steam heating system.
Specifications: The ASC-500 operates with a total vessel volume of 132 gallons and a distillation rate of approximately 26-58 gallons per hour, depending on various factors such as solvent type and contamination level. It requires an electrical connection of 480Y/277V, 60Hz, and has a power consumption of 50 kW for the steam heating generator.
Design and Features: The unit includes a conical stainless steel distillation vessel with steam-heated lateral surfaces for rapid energy transfer. It is equipped with a high-speed vacuum pump for continuous operation and an automatic filling system controlled by a timer. The system also features a slow-running agitator with PTFE scraper blades for optimal cleaning.
Control and Safety: The distillation process is managed by a SIEMENS microprocessor, with an electric control board featuring a SIEMENS S7 1200 digital control and a color TFT-Comfort Panel for touch operation and process monitoring. The unit is designed to meet the latest EU directives, ensuring high operational safety.
Applications and Compliance: The ASC-500 is suitable for processing 211-476 gallons per shift and is classified under EX II 2G c T3 for explosive environments. It is UL-conformant for the US market.
Technical Considerations: The distillation rate and efficiency are influenced by the solvent's characteristics, contamination type, heating temperature, and vacuum pressure. The unit requires a cooling capacity of approximately 40 kW and a cooling water consumption of 4 m³/hr.
Additional Information: OFRU reserves the right to modify specifications without notice. Users are advised to verify the latest product information and consider safety measures, especially when distilling nitrocellulose-containing solvents.

ASC-500 50 kW Solvent Recovery Plant-1

Data Sheet ASC-500 50 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: 211-476 gal / shift EX Class: EX II 2G c T3 UL-conform Sample Installation: ASC-500 50 kW with Ex-Zone housing 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
