The AMPERIS AE736A recovers SF6 down to below 0.5 mbar while compressing up to 50 bar, pulls vacuum below 0.0001 mbar and returns the gas dried and filtered to 0.5 µm — the full servicing cycle in one cart.
Advantages
The complete cycle in one machine
Removal and liquefaction of the gas into the storage tank, evacuation of the equipment for dry-out, re-evaporation for refilling and purification by absorption of decomposition products and moisture.
Deep recovery
Recovery capability below 0.5 mbar minimises the SF6 left in the equipment, and the vacuum circuit reaches below 0.0001 mbar for thorough dry-out before recharging.
Configured to the job
Manual or PLC control with optional one-touch HMI touchscreen, choice of oil-less, oil-free or oil-lubricated compressors, and any worldwide voltage and frequency combination.
Safe by design
Automatic shut-off at maximum allowable pressure, automatic high-pressure shutdown with warning light, internal equalisation restart circuit and instrumentation-grade valves and fittings.
Mobility to match the site
Trailer, caster or skid mounting, with aluminium enclosure or roll-up tarpaulin sides, with or without on-board storage.
Applications
- Gas-insulated switchgear and circuit breakers charged with SF6.
- Bus ducts, accelerators and transformers using SF6 as dielectric.
- SF6 reclaiming and handling during commissioning and maintenance.
About the product
The AE736A is a custom-built servicing cart: simple to operate, with limited maintenance and safe, economical running. A regulated inlet connects directly to high-pressure bottles, heavy-duty suction and discharge gauges and a colour-change moisture indicator monitor the process, and 3 m hoses with power cable are included.

Frequently asked questions
Which functions does the cart perform?
Four: recovery with liquefaction and storage, evacuation of the equipment for dry-out, re-evaporation for refilling, and purification by absorption of decomposition products and moisture.
How far does the recovery go?
Below 0.5 mbar of residual pressure, compressing up to 50 bar for liquefaction even in high ambient temperatures.
How is it controlled?
Manually or by PLC; an optional HMI touchscreen adds one-touch start and stop.
Can it connect to gas bottles?
Yes. The regulated inlet connects directly to high-pressure bottles without throttling, and the cart works with tanks, bottles or other carts.
