Click on a number on the diagram below to see feature details:
Large 1" Hydrodynamic Internal Mixers ( Back to top )
This is for more thorough mixing of the V.O. (Vegetable oil) with the methoxide.Others just rely on the pump to do the mixing.
Bubble Wash/ Air Polish System ( Back to top )
This line feeds a supply of air to the bottom of our reactor tank to aid in the washing and air drying of the finished fuel.
Mineral Bath/ Filter Unit ( Back to top )
This mineral bath is unique to biodiesel123.com processors. The unit forces the water molecules to clump and become heavier, allowing the water to settle out more quickly in vegetable oil or finished fuel. The filter continuously screens out particles larger than 40 Micron.
Thermometers ( Back to top )
Each reactor tank has its own thermometer so you can easily monitor the temperature of the fluid in your tanks.
1 Hour Mechanical Timer ( Back to top )
1 Hour Mechanical Timer – This timer controls the pump and optional S.F.G. (Sonic Frequency Generator) and accessories plugged into the left hand side receptacle of the electric panel.
Filter Can Assembly ( Back to top )
A very unique and vital part of the Biodiesel making process. This device is held in place with a removable “receiver style” bracket that we manufacture and is easily removed with one pin. The Filter Can may be used to filter vegetable oil or finished fuel down to 1 micron. Filter socks included are 1, 10, 50, 100 and 200 micron.
Filler Nozzle and Extra Hose ( Back to top )
Filler nozzle has a 1” ball cock and will flow continuously until turned off. No more need to keep the standard spring loaded filler nozzle squeezed open with your hand. 12 Extra feet of Hoses that are Biodiesel Compatible and crush resistant.
Water Supply System ( Back to top )
Our special water supply system provides water to the mister water wash heads and to the reactor for the bubble wash step without having to go through the pump. This will keep help water out of the pump when making Biodiesel.
Tall Work Area ( Back to top )
We have raised our reactor tanks so you have plenty of room to place and remove tall 5 gal. pails.
Safety Sealed/ Vinted Chem. Tank ( Back to top )
Our smaller chemical tanks are fitted with our own airtight seals and a quality ˝” vent line that is designed to vent any dangerous methanol fumes safely away from the machine and process.
Hugh Commercial Grade Pump ( Back to top )
The pump is the heart of any Biodiesel system and we only use the best. Our “made in the U.S.A.” pump is for Biodiesel and is a ˝ hp, 115 volt, 9 amps, totally enclosed fan cooled (TEFC), self-priming, 1” intake and exhaust, cast iron, high temp. For long life and a maximum flow rate of 52 gallons per minute.
Total Drain Steel Bulkheads ( Back to top )
We manufacture our own large opening total drain steel bulkhead fittings using specially designed Biodiesel resistant gaskets.
One Piece Welded Frame ( Back to top )
Fabricated in house is our solid 1 piece frame. It’s so tough it can even be trailored with a full load, but this is not recommended. This unique frame is even painted with our exclusive Biodiesel resistant paint that we distribute nation wide.
Biodiesel Resistant Deck & Paint ( Back to top )
Each of our processor comes mounted on a reinforced pallet with a Biodiesel resistant deck material mounted in between the frame and the reinforced pallet.
Expandable Production Plumbing ( Back to top )
Each one of our processors is designed for you to expand production if you desire. This design allows you to add our 120-gallon module or more by removing caps and simply plumbing it right in by yourself. This module can in most cases double your production per day.
Built-in Mist Wash System ( Back to top )
Mist washing is a critical part of making high quality Biodiesel. A simple garden hose connection feeds our mist wash system. Our mist heads are metered with a flow rate, just right to achieve thorough washing, at as fast a rate as possible.
Heated & Insulated Tanks ( Back to top )
All of our reactor tanks are heated and insulated poly cone bottom tanks. Our heaters are safe and trouble free.
Heavy Duty Electrical Panel ( Back to top )
Our electrical panel features a commercial type Start/Stop switch. All wiring is done in heavy-duty 12 gauge. Wire. The panel also has 4 – 20 amp, GCFI electric receptacles for accessories.
Sonic Frequency Generator (SFG) $399.99 ( Back to top )
This is an option that everybody wants. It dramatically reduces the time per batch. Settling time is reduced from 3 to 4 hours down to a fraction of that. It also improves the mixing and conversion process. Each frame has mounting brackets ready to bolt one up.
Methanol Rated Chem. Pump ( Back to top )
Quickly and safely transfers methanol into the chemical mixing tank.
Pneumatic Chem. Mixing System ( Back to top )
An important part of making quality Biodiesel is the thorough mixing of the caustic and methanol (methoxide). This air operated mix system safely mixes from the bottom of the tank up.
Custom Cone Shaped Heaters ( Back to top )
Exclusive to our system are our custom cone shaped silicone band heaters. These heaters do a great job of heating the entire tank from the bottom to the top.
Bubble Wash/ Air Polish Manifold ( Back to top )
Built into each reactor tank is our bubble wash and air polishing (drying) equipment. This is the air manifold with needle valves to accurately supply air to the bubblers.
Biodiesel Professional Titration Kit ( Back to top )
The simplest, most accurate and complete PH testing equipment for determining the fatty acid content of your used vegetable oil. Everything needed for oil testing is supplied including the most vivid color change PH solution available.
Pick-up Want/ Agitation Wand ( Back to top )
This is an unusual tool that we find handy in many situations. It is used for oil pick-up and filtering out in the field, in the shop for transferring oil with the processor pump, bubble agitation of fuel or oil that is in storage. Even the blending of chemicals or Petroleum Diesel with Biodiesel and many more uses. Comes complete with air and hose fittings.
