Solvent Recovery Systems

Neotech Equipments offers Solvent Recovery Systems from Formeco, an ISO 9001 certified company. These systems are distillers, which allow recycling and reuse of degreasing and washing solvents. Through a simple distillation process, they separate the contaminants (resins, polymers, pigments, paints, oils, etc), from the original solvent. The condensed solvent is collected in a tank ready for reuse. The characteristics of the processed solvent are not altered by the process, which can be repeated indefinitely. The boiling of the polluted solvent takes place in a boiler that forms a unique block together with peripheral heating jacket filled with diathermic oil that is heated by an electrical element. The vapours then conveyed to a condenser cooled by air or water. The condensed solvent is collected in a tank for its reuse. There are no solvent emissions from the unit during the operation. The distillation cycle is fully automatic; the operator’s work is limited to simply loading the solvent, setting the distillation time and temperature and finally, unloading the solid or liquid residues. The cleaning is very easy and fast. For liquid residues, the boiler can be easily rotated to discharge the contents. In the case of solid residues (paints, resins polymers, pigments), the concentrate is collected inside a special disposable bag, named Rec. Bag. This avoids manual cleaning of the boiler surface. The final result of the process is a solid waste. The unit normally operates at atmospheric pressure. Safety devices monitor heating and distillate temperatures and the plant stops automatically if a fault is detected. All Formeco systems are manufactured in accordance with European standards concerning distillation units: CEI 64-2 and EN 50014-15-18. Formeco machines are constructed with all components ATEX approved.
