It is pleased to share some good solution of issues when using solvent distillation equipment. Sometimes the recovered solvents might be yellow, green or even slightly blue, but also clear and transparent. The main reason of this situation is chemical reaction caused between solvents and copper condenser. A few manufacturers promote their machine with very low price by jerry build. And safety is not their concern. However, unexpected incidents would happen in a short time after customers buying this kind of machine. These manufacturers even are not able to solve the issue. Therefore, to choose a reliable supplier is vital when solvent distillation equipment is in need.

It is suggested that customers need to know the configuration and technical data of solvent distillation equipment. For instant, a normal temperature controller costs around US$100. It could be worked with solvent distillation equipment. However, the risk of ultra-temperature, smoke, fire and even explosion will be ten times higher than others which are with related certificates. Another example is to choose stainless steel condenser when the solvents contain acid or alkali. The tank needs to be coated with anti-corrosion material, or changed material into SUS316. Certainly, these improvements costs more. But, the priceless persistence and safety of solvent distillation equipment are guaranteed.
