| Baron-Blakeslee cleaning equipment is specifically designed for use with degreasing grade solvents such as EnSolv®, trichloroethylene, and perchloroethylene.
Models with an “R” in the prefix, (MSR, MVR, and MLR) are equipped with a refrigeration-cooled solvent condensing coil and freeboard area.
Models with a “V” in the prefix (MVR, ZV) are designed for vapor immersion only.
Models with an “L” in the prefix (MLR, ZL) are equipped with a liquid immersion sump.
Models with an “S” in the prefix (MSR, ZS) are equipped with an ultrasonic liquid immersion sump.
The basic machine is a two-sump unit with a clean condensate reservoir equipped with a solvent pump for final spray rinsing. One sump contains heaters for solvent boiling, while the second sump contains clean solvent overflow from the spray reservoir, and may also be equipped with an ultrasonic transducer on the bottom.

The condensed vapors are collected in a trough below the condensing coils and are directed into the gravity type water separator. The clean solvent is stored in the spray reservoir with the overflow directed into the clean solvent sump. The clean solvent sump overflows into the boiling sump to complete the closed recirculating system. Safety controls (high temperature and safety vapor) are incorporated to turn the boiling sump OFF in the event of either low solvent level in the boiling sump, or high vapor level in the freeboard area.
A thermostatically controlled refrigeration system is energized at all times when the electrical power is connected. The refrigeration unit cycles on and off periodically, even when the boiling sump heat is turned OFF to provide a continuous cold blanket of air in the freeboard area covering the solvent. The result is a significant decrease in solvent loss due to evaporation of almost 50% as compared to typical tap-water cooled machines.
