Climate and immission protection regulations make specific demands on cleaning processes, such as the restrictive use of solvents. Distillation model ROTOmaX vaporizes and condenses used solvent in a sustainable process, minimizing the quantity of highly viscous waste. Once the solvent in the distillation vessel reaches a predefined level, distillation starts automatically. The solvent is heated via an insulated, level heating floor until it boils and vaporizes. At the end of the distillation process, approx. 94 percent of the high-quality solvent can be reused in various areas.
