Solvent recovery and recycling

Solvent recovery and recycling in industrial parts cleaning are crucial measures for combining efficiency, cost-effectiveness and sustainability. Organic solvents are used in many industrial processes to reliably remove grease, oil and other contaminants from components. Instead of disposing of used solvents after a single use, a recovery and recycling system enables them to be processed and reused.

Contaminants are removed by distillation, filtration or other suitable processes and the solvent is returned in almost its original quality. This not only reduces operating costs, as less fresh solvent is required, but also conserves resources and helps to reduce the volume of waste. In addition, recovery supports compliance with statutory environmental regulations, as emissions and pollutant levels are noticeably reduced. Modern parts cleaning systems are therefore often equipped with integrated recirculation systems that enable a closed cycle and thus guarantee a consistently high cleaning quality. In this way, technological performance and a sense of ecological responsibility can be effectively combined.
