Testimonials

Twyn Tub 150A
•  The Twyn Tub 150A concept is proving itself to be popular amongst customers requiring a safe and long lasting biodiesel processor for small scale use. Now in it's Twyn Tub 150 MK2 form, the machine is a fully comprehensive vegetable oil to biodiesel processor and will even pre-process waste vegetable oil from pubs, restaurants and cafes, with filtration systems for both oil and biodiesel and de-waxing capability. Produces 150 litres per batch.
TT400A
• The TT400A. Big brother to the 150MK2, it will produce 400 litres of high quality biodiesel per batch. Ideal for businesses as it conforms to safety regulations so that employees can safely and legally work on the machine AND the larger size means more litres per hour's wages. Hands on time is still 5 hours. Available in single or 3 phase (30 amp supply). A compressor is required for operating the main pump (no hand pump).
TT700A
•  The TT700A is probably the best value machine in the range, suitable for semi-professional use it uses a 3 phase power supply and can heat the vegetable oil up in as little as 2 hours. Some of our customers buy this machine as a pilot plant to test the biodiesel processing concept and then consider scaling up to a larger machine. Also available is a TT1800.

Features:

  • Ultra-safe design, which makes it legal to employ people to run the machine within businesses.
  • The reactors and heating tanks are made from steel, which has high resistance to pressure and does not go soft at 60 degrees C.
  • The pipe work is mostly made of steel and is properly supported.
  • The main pump is spark-free, self priming, tolerant of large particles in the oil and resistant to all the chemicals used.
  • The unit is securely mounted on a sturdy platform and cannot be accidentally knocked over in normal operation.
  • There are NO add ons required for this machine, it is all inclusive and ready to go to make high grade biodiesel conforming to EN14214. The machine will accommodate all the stages of the biodiesel process from heating the oil to drying and de-waxing the finished product.
  • The processes used are all well established, employing traditional biodiesel technology with no 'research' techniques or otherwise. It is a fully developed biodiesel processor.
  • The heating tank is fitted with an internal 3KW 240 volt a/c stainless steel/incalloy heating element with thermostat. There is NO heating element in the reactor.
  • Low level sensor prevents immersion heater being switched on accidentally.
  • Methoxide mixing is performed in a proper mixing vessel by adding catalyst to the methanol in the traditional way.
  • Will NOT turn your biodiesel acidic with 'Dry wash' or ionic exchange wash.
  • The processor is capable of making one batch of biodiesel every 24 hours although we recommend longer settling times to achieve highest quality.
  • Yield is normally 95% and a minimum of 150 litres.
  • Sight tubes to see fluid levels in the tanks.
  • Sample points on both tanks to determine state of reaction/state of drying etc.
  • Waste vegetable oil compatible.
  • Biodiesel de-waxing system.
  • Conical tank bottoms to get maximum separation efficiency.
  • Electric circulation pump for drying the oil and drying and de-waxing the biodiesel.
  • Skid mounted.
  • Full, comprehensive, training available plus full, two day, training course on DVD.
  • Free on site installation with delivery.
  • Spare parts always in stock.
