Nitro-Cellulose Distillation

 
 

 

Special safeties are used when distilling solvents containing nitro-cellulose (nitrocellulose).  Many waste solvents from the furniture industry contain nitro-cellulose.

AFN1 = This device is composed of a temperature detector inside the boiler which opens a water jet if the temperature reaches the previously set value. Normally the working thermostat is set at 100°C. Inside the electrical box there is another thermostat, normally set at 115°C, with the sensor placed in the inner neck of the boiler. If this temperature is reached, the solenoid valve opens the water shower for a previously set time.

AFN2 = Extinguishing group with photocell which notices the formation of smoke inside the boiler and the condensation unit, opening immediately a water jet inside the boiler, for a previously set time.
