VacuDry® Mini for on-site trials

econ industrties Plug & Play 5-litre VacuDry® MINI is a trial unit that can be used to test samples of hazardous industrial waste on-site. Together with an econ expert, a feasibility study is carried out at the location while the VacuDry® process is monitored. Analyses of the initial samples can be performed immediately. The VacuDry® MINI is equipped much like a full-scale VacuDry®: with a vacuum evaporator system, a matching condensation unit made of glass to observe the process as well as an exhaust air treatment.

VacuDry® technology is a vacuum distillation process that separates substances based on their different boiling points. A batch-wise operating vacuum evaporator uses heat and a controlled vacuum to evaporate volatile contaminants with minimal energy consumption.

The VacuDry® MINI is installed on a single steel frame so it can be operated on a trailer or lifted to the ground with a forklift for treatment. The unit has two sides, a working side where the evaporation system is installed, and a laboratory side with a large fold-out work surface and condensation system.
