Concept
Designed to process 5 gallons per eight hours. Users must meet EPA requirements for waste minimization. General user classifications are:
- Commercial paint and finish contractors.
- Industrial and government paint, finish and coatings users.
- Automotive paint and finish users.
- Not to be used with Nitrocellulose
Recycling and waste minimization is one of the few areas where national environmental goals, industries economic interests and public health and safety issues clearly coincide. For waste generators, the benefits include reduced costs, liabilities, and regulatory burdens associated with hazardous waste management. For the general public, waste minimization pays off in our improved environment.
Method
The M5 is a Solvent Recovery System Processing 5 gallons or less per batch. A standard 5 gallon metal bucket of waste solvents are placed in the chamber and then vaporized, condensed back into liquid form to be reused over again. The vapors expand in the chamber, displacing air. The vapors, being heavier than air, then sink through a refrigerated heat exchanger, condense and gravity flow out into the clean solvent receiving vessel. The waste stays behind in the cooking bucket within the chamber.
