Overview

Compact — solvent distillation unit

OFRU Compact — Solvent Distillation Unit

OFRU developed the Compact as the successor to the DSC series, bringing the technology and components of the large plants into a small footprint designed for barrel-to-barrel distillation. A horizontal stainless steel vessel makes cleaning easy with no tilting required.

Key features

Why the Compact

Barrel-to-barrel operation

Automatic continuous filling straight from contaminated solvent drums — typical range 60–400 l/day.

Horizontal stainless vessel

Easy to clean with no tilting needed, unlike conventional small distillers.

ATEX/EX control cabinet

Integrated explosion-proof control cabinet with SIEMENS digital control and auto-stop.

German components

Built with Siemens, Pilz and Stahl electronics throughout.

Optional vacuum system

An optional vacuum package suits solvents with boiling points above 150 °C.
