Hi sebring, I can get some pics but they wont really show that much as it is wrapped and covered in insulation and will be until I have processed all the oil I have. This is a beautiful professional custom made stainless processor utilising a Jrl venturi,eductor and quad core condensor, running two 110lpm pumps on 2 separate circuits. The water heating circuit is PID controlled as is the oil temperature. I have not decided on the price I will be asking yet but it did cost a bundle ! !

Post by: Manfred on April 24, 2016, 03:01:02 PM: I forgot to say that I saw Stevens 350L stainless processor while I was there. I don't know wether beauty or beast best describes it, probably both. If I weren't up shit creek with jobs at the mo I would seriously be tempted, although my shed would need a vertical extension. It might be big but to process once every seven weeks for me wow.

Thanks for that bud, will be sad to see it go but unable to continue moving oil drums so will have to go sometime in the future, mine is the one on the right which makes 350 litre batches.
