IST solvent Recovery Range

With increasing environmental and financial costs for the disposal of contaminated solvents and toxics, there are very few options available except the complete suspension or substitution of solvent based products.

Unfortunately many production processes require solvent to delivery the high quality products, on a tight timescale that consumers demand.

Water and citrus based alternatives have been developed, with varying results which are often of a poorer quality and higher in cost.

Another alternative is to re-use contaminated materials, minimising environmental costs (increased production of materials, transportation and disposal of spent materials) and maximising financial savings (volume reduction and minimal disposal).
 
The Fercell IST range of solvent recovery units are high performance
batch and automatic operating, solvent recovery systems, designed
for numerous commercial/industrial including:
• Body Shop (Automotive)
• Cosmetic
• Electronics (Printed Circuit)
• Engineers
• GRP
• Joinery (Furniture)
• Paint
• Pharmaceutical
• Plastic & Rubbers
• Print (Photopolymer, Flexographic, Screen & Litho)

The IST range has evolved over many years and through countless applications, resulting in a highly developed range of industrial solvent recovery solutions.

The comprehensive range starts from simply batch process systems to automatic systems, incorporating load/unload pump systems.

The proven mechanical control systems have been further developed with the introduction of PCB and state of the art micro-processor control systems.

Fercell’s experienced and technical expertise enables the flexibility to provide bespoke systems to meet complex process demands.

The recovery process is based on the principle of distillation, where non-volatile share contaminants (oils, paints, pigments, polymers, etc) are separated from the volatile share (original material).

The material is heated, indirectly, by a heat transfer fluid promoting excellent thermal efficiency and minimising hot spots. The vaporised share is conveyed, at atmospheric pressure, through a series of tension pipes and to a cooling battery where it is condensed into liquid form.

The clean recovered material is discharged from the unit into a suitable holding vessel, while the non-volatile share (bi-product) is contained within a high temperature resistant, disposable collection sack inside the separation tank.
 
The IST range is complemented by both pneumatically and electrically operated vacuum generation units, enabling the recovery of temperature sensitive, higher boiling point and auto igniting materials.
 
There are 31 models in the solvent range, with volume capacities ranging from 5 litres to 400 litres and process times from 2 up to 10 hours.

There are 17 models in the vacuum range, with volume capacities ranging from 30 litres to 500 litres.
