Distillation Model ROTOmaX-e 20
Distillation model ROTOmaX-e 20 by D.W. RENZMANN vaporizes and condenses used solvent in a sustainable process, minimizing the quantity of highly viscous waste. Once the solvent reaches a predefined level, distillation starts automatically. The solvent is heated via an insulated, level heating floor until it boils and vaporizes. After condensation, the rotor automatically transports the residue into a disposal container. The ROTOmaX system recovers up to 94% of the solvent, reducing the need for fresh, expensive solvent and contributing to the protection of the environment.
