Solvent Recyclers - 3, 6 , 17.5, & 55 Gal 

A: Yes. There are many safety devices with multiple redundancies built into the system. The system is 3rd Party reviewed to assure the safety of the system and is given a Certificate identifying its meeting the code requirements and UL2208 requirements. 

A: As long as the recycler is operated correctly and according to provided instructions, the quality of the distilled solvent should meet or exceed virgin specifications, and come across with no contaminant-based color.

A: This is  a difficult question, since it relies on many different variables. We would recommend you speak with one of our Specialists to review your operation and work with you choosing the best system.

A: The use of a vacuum assist system lowers the atmospheric pressure in the cooking chamber and therefore reduces the boiling temperature of the liquid. We typically recommend vacuum assist for certain types of solvents where the boiling point and flammable limit are within certain parameters. Our Specialists can identify if Vacuum Assist is needed in your process.

A: No and Yes. Keep in mind that even though the storage of a hazardous waste is regulated; the recycling process is exempt from RCRA regulations; therefore, no permitting is required for the Recycler. You still need to treat the waste under RCRA requirements. There are Fire codes that must be considered when installing any Recycler. Our Specialists can help you with that information.

A: Yes. If the solvents are considered Flammable and/or Combustible, you must follow one of the following depending on what is adopted in your area:

• NFPA 30 Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code
• NFPA 33 Standard for Spray Application of Flammable or Combustible Materials
• NFPA 70 National Electric Code
• International Fire Code

A: Yes. As long as the material (liquid and/or solid) was considered hazardous as received. In order to consider your disposal options, you must have the material tested for:

• Toxicity
• Corrosiveness
• Ignitibility
• Reactivity

A: No. If the materials were not considered hazardous as received.

A: No, if the materials were not hazardous to start with. The only two products resulting from the recycling process are the recovered solvent and the recovered waste. You are not creating a new product, nor are you treating the solvent. 

A: No. A relatively untrained person can operate the recycler. An operators guide is provided with the unit.

A: As a general rule, you can expect to spend less than a total of ten minutes a day performing the filling process and getting the unit up and running.

A:  Here are the following sizes:

• SC & HC - 33" Wide x 26" Deep x 43" High
• SS17,5  - 24"Wide x 37" Deep x 62" High
• SS55   - 42" Wide x 60" Deep x 90" High (Note: 112" High w/ Winch System)

A: Very little is required....approx 6-8" behind the unit for clearance is required.

A: Yes.

A:Each model is as follows:

• SC (3 Gal)              208 - 240 Volt  1 Phase   5 Amps 
• HC (6 Gal)              208 - 240 Volt  1 Phase  10 Amps
• SS17.5 (17,5 Gal)  208 - 240 Volt  1 Phase  13.5 Amps
• SS55 (55 Gal)        220 - 240 Volt  1 Phase   50 Amps

15. Q: Do you require any other utilities..i.e. water, Compressed air, etc.?

A: No, not with our standard product. Some options, such as Vacuum Assist or Fluid Transfer Kits require compressed air.

A: 2 Year Limited Warranty.....the longest in the Industry.

A: We recommend an Annual tune-up by your local certified technician. Call us. We can help schedule it.

A: The Seal on the tank lid should be replaced at the annual tune-up along with the Thermic Oil.

A: When the unit is operating properly, you should be recovering essentially 95-100% of the solvent that is in the waste stream. Losses are typically from evaporation that took place in the cleaning process and/or use of the solvent.

A: Waste is collected in a special Recycler Bag. It is easily removed.

A: BECCA does offer various lease options. Please inquire if you are interested.
