Why does this model cost much more than the EZ240? 

There are many upgrades to this model to improve the durability of the components for larger use, and to handle the larger volumes of oil & biodiesel.  The improvements are as follows:

• Uses 1 large 500 gallon tank instead of 3 smaller 110 gallon tanks.  This larger tank allows for less time making biodiesel, but it does cost more than 3 smaller tanks.

• Uses a commercial duty processing pump which flows at 50gpm for a powerful mixing action, (actual 50gpm, compare to our smaller pumps 12gpm rated, actual 8-10gpm flow) it's just not explosion proof.  NOTE: Anyone who use multiple small water pumps to try and mix this volume of biodiesel is fooling you.  You NEED this much more powerful, and more expensive pump.  This pump is nearly 2 feet long and weighs about 70lbs.  MUCH more heavy duty than the normal biodiesel processor pump.  Costs 20 times as much as our smaller pumps.  Click photo to view larger image

• Methoxide mixing pump is an Explosion Proof air powered diaphragm pump that is very efficient and costs about 10 times as much as the mixing pump on our smaller processors.

• 4500 watt inline heater.  Heats the oil in the processor by passing it through an external oil heater with low watt density heating elements.  You can also use this heater to reheat the biodiesel if needed.  You still must be careful when heating biodiesel with residual methanol in it though, although our low watt density heaters are much cooler per square inch than normal heating elements.

• Uses 1" & 1 1/4" black iron pipe, fittings and valves for full flow capability.  Using all black iron pipe instead of poly hoses costs much more, but will last forever.  These sizes will give you a full flow capability needed to quickly and efficiently process larger batches like this.

• Comes with 4 misters installed instead of one.  4 misters will more effectively cover the larger tank surface allowing for quicker wash times.

• Comes with a timer controlled water valve which allows for precise, reliable mist wash times.  This is NOT a cheap hardware store garden timer.  Includes the same type of timer used to control the processor pump and a high quality electric shutoff valve.

• Comes with an external 500 gallon drying tank and dedicated drying pump

• The methoxide mixer is a 110 gallon mixing tank with custom made screens to keep the catalyst in suspension for quick and thorough mixing.

• Comes with a large, Stainless steel scale that allows you to precisely measure out the required amount of catalyst all at once.  This scale is large enough to set a bucket on.

Drum Band Heater - If you prefer not to install the included barrel heater and thermostat, you can upgrade to the Drum band heater.  To use this heater simply wrap it around your STEEL barrel, then plug it into the wall outlet, set the thermostat and you're oil will begin heating.

Note: these can be stacked to decrease overall heating time if desired.

Price - $169.00 & $15.00 shipping (drop shipped) if bought with a processor or kit.  Compare to $180.00 & higher shipping

Speed Dry Option- All of our processors are capable of drying your biodiesel in the processor itself, after all washing is done.  But the drawback is that it takes about 4-8 hours.  If you would like to cut that time in half, we have a speed dry option which dries the fuel in open top 55 gallon barrels using the setup below.  The exposes the biodiesel to more air, quicker, which simply dries faster.  Comes with the assembly below, plus we plumb the processor differently to allow the processor pump to circulate the biodiesel in and out of the drying tanks.  Then when it's dry, the processor pump will also pump the dried biodiesel to a waiting fuel storage barrel or tank.  Requires about 45-60 minutes of installation time on your part, but everything we can pre-assemble for you will be done.  You'll have to setup the drying barrels, and install the drying setup on a wall as shown, (full details come with every processor)

Price for an EZ20 or an EZ40- $79.00

Price for an EZ80 on up- $89.00

Methanol Barrel Pump- This pump uses your air compressor to pump the methanol from your sealed methanol barrel into your processor.  INCLUDES Installation of fittings into methoxide mixer and about 7ft of hose & hose clamps to connect the pump to the mixer.  Will require you to connect the hose.  NOTE: will not pump from open containers, they must be sealable as this pump pressurizes the barrel to about 8PSI. 

12GPM rated flow rate

NOTE: This is ONLY for an EZ20.  All others come with this setup.  For the pump only, see below.

Price- $99.00 

Biodiesel Pump- Need a way to move your biodiesel, or most any other liquid around?  Maybe from barrel to barrel?  This pump is the same pump as above and works great for pumping biodiesel from one sealed drum to another.  NOTE: will not pump from open containers, they must be sealable as this pump pressurizes the barrel to about 8PSI.

12GPM rated flow rate

Price- $89.00 

Processor Fuel Hose & Nozzle - Includes the Biodiesel compatible hose & nozzle as shown below, installed on your processor, ready to use.  Requires you to dispense the fuel from your processor.  The drawback is that you can't process any further batches until you empty the processor.

Price - $94.00 & free shipping if purchased with the processor

EZBiodiesel Fueling Station - Includes the air powered Biodiesel pump below, plus a biodiesel compatible fuel hose (14ft) and Nozzle as seen on the right.  You can also attach your own fuel filter to this pump to filter your fuel as you dispense it.  Requires an air compressor to drive the pump and a sealed fuel dispensing barrel.
