Gallon Batch Biodiesel Processor
Here I have made a simple yet efficient machine for making biodiesel. If you are not aware of the details about biodiesel or the process of making biodiesel do not hesitate to ask any questions to
brent_seay@yahoo.com .
Specs:
Makes biodiesel using waste vegetable oil for $0.70 a gallon!
60 gallon cone bottom mixing tank
15 gallon cone bottom methanol and naoh mixing tank
Both tanks have 100% full drain, You wont find that on most processors under $3,000.
Both tanks mounted on stands
110v 1/2 hp 12 gpm motor
100% Assembled!
Brass Misting Wash System with 6 heads for full washing capabilities
Produces 20-40 gallon batches with about 1 hour hands on time.
Single Timer to control pump
Comes with an easy instructional manual to get you started
Tank Bubble Insulation, keep the heat in, would be installed after delivery.
I will explain the process in a 1-2-3 form, simplified, As the process is not very hard. To really get started in biodiesel, you need a good setup. Buying equipment will be your quickest way to efficiently make biodiesel.Once you get your system setup you simply repeat the process over and over
. The kit comes with a manual to walk you through each step.
2. Dump oil in heater drum, heat to 130 degrees.
3. The machines motor will suck the oil into the left tank tank.
4. Test the oil to determine the amount of lye needed.
5. Mix methanol and lye in smaller tank.
6. Turn motor on. Methanol mix from small tank will go into large tank.
7. Let motor run for 60 minutes to circulate mixture.
8. After 8-12 hours drain 6-8 gallons of glycerine.
At this point you have biodiesel, but it is a "dirty" biodiesel. What is recomended is to do a water wash, which comes on each machine....
9. Turn timer for water wash. Water will begin to mist over biodiesel.
10. After timer has shut off, drain 5-6 gallons of water.
11. Repeat this process 2-3 times until wash water is clear.
12. Begin drying your biodiesel by having the motor ciculate the biodiesel inside the larger tank.
13. Biodiesel will turn a golden clear, and your process is done and ready to use!
The whole process can take as little as 24 hours, and costs about .70 a gallon to make.

Temperature probe $30 Tests temperature in heater barrel, also comes with 4 ft dowel rod.

You get what you pay for, if you see a cheaper processor, compare it to the one we sell.
Watch out for:
- An abundance of pvc pipe
- Motors that are not self priming. will never suck all the liquid out, leaving catalyst sitting in the tanks
- Tubing going everywhich way will not allow for proper draining.
- Are the tanks full draining?
- Mixing methanol and lye with blue pumps is NOT recomended
- Are there wash timers and pump timers for added safety?
- Does the system look clean and easy to use?
- Is the system 100% Assembled?
You will spend more initialy but in the long run you will have a well built machine that is easy to use and works efficiently. Is it worth the time and effort buying a cheaper processor?
