The Used Aquamation Machine PET 550 is an alkaline hydrolysis system, also known as an aquamation or water cremation unit.
It uses a large stainless steel pressure vessel to provide an eco-friendly method for the disposition of animal remains, offering veterinary practices and pet aftercare providers an alternative to traditional flame cremation.
Approx. Weight: 1600 lb
Reason for Sale: Business Change
This is essentially a new machine with under 4,000 hours.
This machine is set up for 3-phase 220-240V, and an electrician should verify the electrical requirements and hook it up.
Regarding municipal regulations, the machines cause no harm to sewer systems if operated properly. Some cities regulate them; others do not. Check with your local city or municipality for wastewater disposal requirements.
The seller also recommends using a water softener. Soft water helps reduce mineral buildup and can extend the equipment's life. If you have a gas water heater available to preheat the incoming water, that can also help reduce operating costs since the machine’s built-in water heater is electric.
Designed specifically for pet/companion-animal aquamation. This PET-550 is not a human aquamation system.
We still use our first machine almost daily after 28,000 hours.
We purchased this new machine and then had to change directions in our lives.
The new price was just under $110,000. We are selling this machine for almost half that price.
This is an amazing machine that will fit through a standard door.
Discharge pump is included as well as all trays and dividers.
Aquamation is a water-based process and an eco-friendly alternative to flame cremation and burial. It uses water instead of fire to return a body back to Mother Nature.
The scientific name for this water-based process is alkaline hydrolysis. It is the same process that occurs as part of nature’s course when a body is laid to rest in the soil.
The PET-550 uses a combination of water flow, temperature, and alkalinity to accelerate nature’s process. For over 20 years, trusted institutions have chosen this process for the dignified and environmentally conscious disposition of bodies donated to medical science. The MAYO Clinic, UCLA Medical School, and UTSW Medical School have chosen this process for their distinguished willed body programs.
Why is this considered an environmentally friendly choice?
With Aquamation there are no direct emissions of harmful greenhouse gases or mercury to the atmosphere. This process does not burn any fossil fuels. It is very energy efficient - greater than 90% energy savings compared to flame cremation, with 1⁄10th of the carbon footprint. There is no burning of fossil fuels.
What is the impact of the water usage?
Virtually zero. The aquamation process uses less water than a single household uses in one day. This includes all of the water used for the process, along with the clean water rinsing of the final remains and vessel.
What actually happens...?
With Aquamation, an individual body is respectfully placed in a container that is then placed in a clean, stainless steel vessel. A combination of gentle water flow, temperature, and alkalinity are used to accelerate the natural process of tissue hydrolysis.
All organic material is reduced to its most basic building blocks. At the end of the process, there is no DNA or RNA remaining. The sterile process water is released for recycling (our bodies are approximately 65% water to begin with), and only the inorganic bone minerals remain.
The minerals are processed into powder and returned to the family in an urn.
