Model LS-Jr.

Vacuum Attachment

INTRODUCTION

The LS-Jr. with vacuum attachment provides for safe in-house

reclamation of contaminated solvents with boiling points o

200° to 500°F (93° to 260°C). Most solvents conform easil

and safely to this thermal distillation process. However,

ecause most SOLVENTS ARE COMBUSTIBLE, EXTREME

CAUTION must be exercised when operating the unit. Whe

properly installed and operated, the LS-JrV provides long,

trouble-free service, reclaiming 3 to 4 gallons (11-15 liters) o

solvent in 6 to 8 hours. For your safety, reclamation is limite

desi

n to this rate.

PRINCIPLES

The LS-JrV utilizes breakthrough technology to reclaim highe

oiling solvents. A unique vertical solvent pump and JetVac are

immersed in a single reservoir and used to create a vacuum in

the distillation unit.

Solvent in the reservoir tank is circulated by the solvent pump

through the high-velocity JetVac. This high-speed circulation

roduces a vacuum in the distillation unit. A cooling coil in the

reservoir tank maintains solvent temperature. As additional

solvent is recovered and cooled, it is gravity fed from the

vacuum unit to a 5-

allon distillate pail.

WARRANTY

When the LS-JrV is operated in strict accordance with these

instructions, it is guaranteed to recover higher boiling solvents

and is warranted 180 days from date of shipment agains

defects in materials and workmanship. All warranty claims

FOB Erie, Penns

lvania.

INSTALLATION SITE

Install in a well-ventilated area in accordance with Articles 500

and 501, Class I, Division 1, Group D of the National Electric

Code (explosion proof installation). Installation should be by a

qualified electrician and inspected by your insurance company.

The area surrounding the LS-JrV should be inspected carefully

to insure an explosionproof area. The LS-JrV must not be

installed in an area where open flame, sparks or electrical

arcin

are present.

You must determine dimension R (see Figure 1). It illustrates

the largest area where explosive mixtures can be present. In

well-ventilated area, R is often less than 10 ft. (3m). However,

R can also be more than 10 ft.

Ignition of explosive mixtures can result from various items

causing "hot spots." Because of this, in the area defined by R,

the following are

ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL.

All electricals must be explosionproof har

conduit and explosion proof boxes.

o potential for sparks can be present (for

exam pie, non-explosion proof outlets and

electrical switches, coffeepots and other

appliances, static electricit

sources, etc.).

o flames can be present (for example,

torches, furnaces, ci

arettes, etc.).

Your qualified electrician can answer any questions you may

have for selecting the best LS-Jr. and vacuum attachmen

installation site and regarding applicable electrical codes.

WARNING:

The LS-Jr

is a boiling vessel, not a reaction vessel. Chemical reactions within the unit must not be permitted

to occur. The user must know the composition of the waste material to be processed. Most contaminated

solvents are recommended for the thermal distillation process. However, reactive materials must not be

processed in the LS-Jr. distilling unit. You must read and understand the caution printed on the lid of the unit

prior to operation, it reads

"CAUTION: Dangerous health and safety problems will occur if reactive materials

(example: lacquers with nitrocellulose) are processed."
