9600 Solvent Recycler

Both systems use high efficiency fractional distillation columns to give high purity recycled solvents. However, there are some important differences that should be noted.

Virtually all solvents can be recycled using a spinning band distillation column. Spinning band distillation gives the highest purity recycled solvent possible because it is the most efficient distillation column. Another advantage of spinning band distillation is low "hold up". "Hold up" is the amount of material left behind in the distillation column after the distillation is completed. If a solvent recycler is used to recycle multiple solvents, then low hold up means little or no cleaning of the distillation column between different solvent types.

Packed column distillation is more widely known and is more familiar to some customers than spinning band. Packed column distillation is not as efficient as spinning band but is adequate for many types of solvent recycling.
