Used 2018 Maratek SSB-48 45-Gallon Batch Solvent Recovery System – 304 Stainless Steel Vacuum Distillation Unit

Manufacturer Information
Maratek Environmental Inc.
Maratek manufactures solvent recovery and recycling equipment used to recover compatible solvents from industrial process streams. Batch solvent recovery systems use controlled distillation to separate reusable solvent from less-volatile contaminants or process residues.
This Maratek SSB-48 was built in 2018 and was previously used in a cannabis processing application.
Description
Available for sale is a used 2018 Maratek Batch Solvent Recovery System, Model SSB-48, constructed of 304 stainless steel.
The system features a 55-gallon geometrical boiler capacity with approximately 45 gallons of useful boiler capacity. The supplied recovery yield range is 85–97%, with an approximate 3.5–4.5 hour distillation cycle time. Actual recovery and cycle time will vary with solvent type, contamination level, batch volume, operating conditions, and desired product purity.
The SSB-48 has a stated operating temperature range of 104°F to 360°F, with a supplied maximum solvent temperature specification of 590°F. Operating pressure is stated at 0.223–1 bar absolute, corresponding to approximately -0.776–0 bar relative pressure, allowing operation under vacuum conditions.
Cooling is supported by a 1 HP fan cooling system. Electrical requirements are stated as 480–600V, 60 Hz, 3-phase.
Previously used in a cannabis application, this solvent recovery unit may be considered for compatible solvent recycling, reclamation, purification, and waste-volume-reduction processes. Solvent compatibility and all applicable hazardous-location, ventilation, fire-protection, grounding/bonding, and operating requirements should be verified before installation.
