How long does it take to make biodiesel with the Ester Machine?
Processing 40 gallons of oil takes 1 – 1 ½ hrs. The Ester Machine is constructed with a heated intake barrel to allow you to heat a second batch while the first batch is processing. Once 80 gallons of oil has been processed the Ester Machine has a dual wash and dry system allowing you to wash and dry 80 gallons of fuel at one time. The length of time it takes to wash and dry your fuel is dependant upon several variables such as the quality of your feedstock and humidity. The longer you let your fuel settle after washing, the quicker the fuel will dry. Washing and drying can take anywhere from a few hours to a day.
