Xylene Substitutes are great because they are less toxic than xylene but they are expen$ive!
Fortunately xylene substitutes are easy to recycle.
The ProCycler series relies on its high efficiency distillation columns to remove unwanted contaminants from xylene substitutes. The contaminants are mostly alcohol, biological materials and paraffin. The contaminating alcohol is distilled into a waste container and the pure xylene substitute is distilled into a separate container. Paraffin and biological materials remain behind in the boiler and are removed through a drain.
We have experience recycling all xylene substitutes including:
Propar | Ameri-Clear | Bio-Clear | Clearite |
Hemo-De | Histo-Clear | Histo-Solv | Histosolv X |
Hy-Clear | Citra-Solv | Formula 83 | Ultra-Clear |
Shandon xylene substitute | Safe Clear | Slide Brite |
Two models of the ProCycler are available depending on the laboratory size.
The ProCycler Plus has a 20 liter (5 gallon) capacity. It is ideal for medium and large labs.
The MiniProCycler has an 8 liter (2 gallon) capacity. It is ideal for mall labs.
BR also offers xylene/alcohol recyclers, formalin recyclers as well as 3 in 1 solvent recyclers. 3 in 1 solvent recyclers can recycle xylene, alcohol and formalin all in the same recycler.
