Looking for small to medium size ethanol recovery system…
This guy has a 5L roto with a chiller for 3K. Buchi C-810 w/ extras, 25 cu Ft Deep Freezer, 50L Roto turn key, USA labs 5L roto w/ chiller - Classifieds - Future4200 You might be able to talk him down buy purchasing without the chiller. I personally don’t recommend the Source Turbo because it takes forever to get a run done. Like 6-8 hours. The EtOH Pro is an ok device, but if you’re going to spend that amount of money just buy a roto. You can use all kinds of solvents in a roto, and there all kind of tricks the roto offers that the Pro doesn’t.

You can do it with a 5L roto, but I would recommend a 10L because that would give you some room to be able to scale up your operation from where you’re at currently
You can also set up a roto up for continuous feed. There’s all kinds of hacks and tricks you can do with a roto that you can’t do other devices

Hi,
Go with a rotovap like @Capttripppp mentioned, if and when you outgrow it for primary solvent evaporation it can still be used for a bunch of different tasks.
