Solvent Recycling Systems
APPLICATION
Our systems are capable of reprocessing all organic solvents in outstanding quality by applying the special LÖMI vacuum technology with automatic operation. Integration into existing purification processes is possible in a fast and economical way.
Advantages
- Consistent cost savings
- Minimisation of disposal costs
- Minimisation of stockkeeping
- Minimisation of in-house handling
- Rapid amortisation
- Recovery rate up to 99 percent
- Consistent production quality
Vacuum distillation is used for reprocessing the solvent: The distillation can be carried out at lower temperatures, as the vacuum leads to a decrease in the boiling point of the solvent. This reduces the energy requirement and therefore the operating costs. The lower temperatures have a number of positive side effects: firstly, thermal decomposition of the solvent is prevented, secondly, foaming due to possibly contained water is reduced. In addition, when reprocessing solvent-based media with nitrocellulose lacquer components, process temperatures of less than 100 °C can be guaranteed.
BASIC LINE
These systems are characterized by extensive standardization, low investment costs and a short lead time.
CUSTOMIZED LINE
Tailor-made high-end systems that are individually adapted to your process. With comprehensive configuration variations, we can satisfy any of your requirements.
BASIC LINE: VDA / VRA
Application Range
These systems are characterized by extensive standardization and low investment costs with short delivery times. The VDA model series for small distillation rates comes with a horizontal chamber in a compact frame. Systems are available in a volume range from 30 to 250 liters. The VRA model series is designed for medium and large distillation rates. The systems feature a vertical chamber with a stirring device. They are available with volumes from 250 to 4,000 liters.

FAQ
An in-house solvent recovery system is profitable starting at 25 liters of used solvent per day.
For quantities of more than 200 liters per day, the amortization of a solvent treatment plant usually occurs within one year, for smaller systems after about two years.
The distillation can be carried out at lower temperatures, as the vacuum leads to a decrease in the boiling point of the solvent. This reduces the energy requirement and therefore the operating costs.
The lower temperatures have a number of positive side effects: firstly, thermal decomposition of the solvent is prevented, secondly, foaming due to possibly contained water is reduced.
