Small package, large performance

Javac-XTR-ULTRAUK: Javac UK claims that its latest recovery machine, the XTR-Ultra, is one of the smallest and lightest in its class.

The Ultra weighs in at just over 8kg but Javac maintains that it has a recovery performance greater than many of its larger and more expensive competitors.

Measuring 38 x 22 x 30cm, the XTR-Ultra has been designed using the latest high performance compressor materials to enable ultra-recovery speed. Liquid recovery rate is said to be 2.3kg/min and vapour 0.31kg/min. Using push/pull recovery, the Ultra can achieve 7.1 kg/min.

Managing director Steve Davies said “This is the 9th generation in our manufacturing of refrigeration recovery machines and all of our knowledge acquired over the last 28 years of manufacturing has been invested into the latest XTR-Ultra.”
