Red Head Model M5 Five-Gallon Solvent Recovery System

Compact, Compliant and Cost-Saving

CB Mills  Model M5 gives low-volume users an economical, in-house way to reclaim solvents and meet EPA waste-minimization goals, all without outsourcing, blending risks, or heavy labor. Designed to process up to 5 gallons per eight-hour cycle, it cuts disposal fees, reduces new-solvent spending, and lightens your regulatory load.

Quick and Easy Process

The M5 System heats waste solvents in a standard 5-gallon metal vessel. Vapors are then condensed through a refrigerated heat exchanger and gravity-fed into a clean receiving vessel, while non-reclaimable residue remains in the cooking vessel.

Key Benefits

  • Lower Total Cost — Reduce hazardous waste disposal fees and new solvent purchases.
  • Quality You Control — Reclaim your solvent (no third-party blending, no mystery “mix”).
  • Regulatory Confidence — Supports EPA waste-minimization requirements.
  • Right-Sized Throughput — Up to 5 gal per 8-hour cycle for small operations.
  • Operator-Friendly — Simple controls, minimal attention required.

Ideal For

  • Dental and Orthodontic Offices.
  • Commercial paint & finish contractors.
  • Industrial and government coatings users.
  • Automotive paint & finish operations.
  • Not for nitrocellulose.

The Model M5 is a straightforward way to lower costs, protect quality, and operate more sustainably—without stepping up to a full-scale system.
