TBS Solvent Recovery Systems have been designed and manufactured to be ignition resistant if operated in
a highly volatile environment (explosion proof). All units are shipped with a normal 15 amp Hospital
Grade, ETL™ & UL approved electrical plug. Be advised that if you intend to operated your unit in a
dangerously volatile environment an explosion proof plug must be installed with its special receptacle.
Solvent Containment
- TBS offers a stainless steel splash pan, designed for your equipment, to be placed
on the floor under your recovery unit. This pan is recommended for use as a safety pan to prevent solvents
from spilling onto the floors in case of an over flow due to operator error.
Appropriate 3-gal containers for the collection of recycled solvents and run off waste are available from
TBS.
Safe Exposure Temperature
- The temperature should be at 50°C or below, according to the top bulb
thermometer, before the distilling chamber cover is opened. Opening the cover at a higher temperature will
release solvent fumes into the surrounding air and can also cause burn injury to the operator.
NOTE: Opening the cover sooner than one hour after the distillation cycle has finished wil cause the cover
gasket to swell.
