Technical Information

The RSI-5 LAB, a 15 gallon tank ( 57 liters) capacity solvent recovery system, like all RSI systems, is designed to be durable, portable, simple to operate and safe. Truly the only 15 gallon portable solvent distillation system manufactured today, the RSI-15 LAB will distill approximately 75 U.S. gallons (285 liters) per week when operated for just one eight hour shift 5 days per week. And like all RSI systems, the RSI-15 LAB is designed with intrinsically safe electronic controls.

Simple: The RSI-15 LAB is "Operator Friendly" and as easy to use as other RSI systems. The operator fills the tank with up to fifteen gallons of dirty solvent, sets the Fuji controller, places the vacuum tank in place, presses the start button on the Fuji and walks away. The water re-circulator is wired so as to be automatic, the system operates unattended and even shuts itself off when completed. The process monitor has a color-coded face plate with suggested process temperature ranges in plain English. Except for keeping the system clean, there is no periodic maintenance.

Safe: The 3.5KW, 240 Volt heater operates in an oil jacket, eliminating "hot spots". Solvent distillation is controlled by the low-voltage, 'Intrinsically Safe' thermocouples. High voltage components are all housed in exposed NEMA-rated explosion proof housings. Finally, an over temperature breaker in the heater halts the process in case thermal control is lost.

Rugged: The tank, domed lid assembly, tube in tube condenser, cart, vacuum tank and case of the RSI-15 LAB are 100% stainless steel for rugged good looks, easy cleanup and extreme durability. All stainless parts are easy to reach and clean, and resist all solvents and most acids for outstanding durability. All parts of the solvent distillation system as well as the electronic system design are modular and can be easily replaced if damaged.

Versatile: Like other RSI systems, the RSI-15 LAB is truly portable. It is mounted on its own stainless cart and can be simply rolled from one department to another. Be sure and re-tighten all vacuum fittings when moved. This system is often used in various departments of facilities to recycle different solvents. And a 30 foot (10 meter) power cord connected to the control panel electric box is provided to make connection in each location easy. (Warning: Users are cautioned to provide adequate ventilation so as to not create an explosive atmosphere around the wall plug connection or the cooling water re-circulator)

Economical: The RSI-15 LAB pays for itself quickly. Recycling on-site and getting the solvents back for reuse increases profits. With the price of solvents going ever upward, and the price of pickup and disposal even more expensive, one does not have to be an accountant to figure out that the purchase and use of an RSI-15 LAB results in a very quick payback to the purchaser.
