Description
What is solvent recycler machine?
In the realm of industrial cleaning solutions, the solvent recycling machine stands tall, revolutionizing the way we handle used cleaning solvents. This sophisticated apparatus employs distillation to meticulously extract soils, debris, and oils from previously used solvents, paving the way for their renewed application. The impact is profound, with the potential to slash solvent purchases by a staggering 95% and curtail chemical waste disposal costs by over 90%.

How Does a Solvent Recycler Machine Work?
Solvent recovery systems employ the distillation process to separate volatile and nonvolatile solutions within a solvent. The solution undergoes boiling, and the resulting vapors are condensed back into liquid within a separate tank, akin to the operation of a vapor degreaser. The diverse components of the solvent and contaminants have distinct boiling points; typically, oils and soils have much higher temperatures than solvents. A practical example is the use of paint thinner for cleaning paint off paint guns and parts. In this case, the solvent boils at a lower temperature than the paint. Consequently, when the mixture is boiled, it leads to the condensation of pure solvent in one tank and the deposition of paint sludge components in another tank. Occasionally, a solvent recycling machine is also referred to as a paint-thinner recycler.
- Add the waste to be recycled;
- Use a rag to wipe the edge of the recycling barrel mouth wall and the surface of the fuselage clean;
- Close the lid of the barrel, and loosen the hot kerosene vent valve;
- Place a clean recycling bucket at the solvent outlet of the recycling machine, in which the clean solvent will be retained after recycling;
- Turn on the working switch of the recycling machine to make the equipment start to work;
- After the solvent recovery is completed, clean up the residue in the recovery bucket;
- Clean up equipment surface hygiene;
- Collect the recovered solvent;

Vacuum Assisted Distillation
Applying a vacuum to the distillation column and chamber may be necessary when dealing with solvents with higher boiling points and greater vapor density (above 29 AMU – atomic mass units). This is particularly relevant for substances like xylenes, CFCs, and others that are heavier than air. In contrast, lighter-than-air solvents such as acetones, MEK (Methyl ethyl ketone/butanone), MPK (Methyl n-propyl Ketone), alcohols, etc., may not require the application of a vacuum for distillation.
Integration of Inline Vapor Degreaser
Although vapor degreasers naturally distill solvents, extending the life and reducing solvent consumption can be achieved by further distilling only the vapor degreaser boil sump. The automated incorporation of a solvent recovery system into a vapor degreaser is typically straightforward, requiring no modifications to the vapor degreaser itself. The process involves extracting from the drain of the boil sump and directing the distilled solvents into the rinse sump or water separator. Waste is then stored in the solvent recycler for convenient disposal. This enables continuous use of the degreaser without downtime for boil sump cleaning. With the implementation of solvent recovery systems, intervals for solvent boil-down and change-out can be extended by up to 200%.
The use of solvent recycling machines and solvent recovery systems can significantly reduce costs, hazardous waste disposal, and solvent consumption, all while enhancing process stability and overall operation efficiency.
