I think we still have (3) of the Dritec 325's left over, we once had six of them. We use them more for special use, instances when low grain removal is needed and the refrigerants are not capable. Also in areas where its too cold for a refrigerant to operate effectively. Dust collectors? Yes they can be but it depends the demand for them.

We keep ours because when you need them, its sure nice to have them available.

What would be a good price for a used Dritec 325??

What were those Dritec 325's like 5k or 6k brand new ?

Yea I truly can't remember maybe 4?

I think we sold ours for $1,500.00 6-8 years ago.

I've seen them all over the place on price on ebay. As low as $600.00 even.

Only used in specific situations and not very often at all.
