The URS500 is a favorite of the Paint and Body Shop. The URS500 solvent recycler provides a shop with clean recycled solvent every day. Typical solvents include paint thinner, gun wash solvent and acetone. With a Uni-ram solvent recycler, a shop’s environmental footprint shrinks and the shop saves money. Solvent purchases and offsite waste transport costs drop by approximately 90%.

The URS500 provides 5 gal of clean recycled solvent from each recycling batch.

Automotive Solvent Recyclers

Additional Models

URS500EP2

This model is the same as URS500 except dirty solvent is pumped directly into the distillation tank and clean recycled solvent is pumped from the receiving pail to an external clean container. Pumps are activated by turning a timer.

Benefit

The work place is safer: no pails to lift, no solvent to pour, less solvent spillage, and less chance of workplace lifting injuries.

The URS500EP2 is designed to connect to and recycle used solvent from E-model spray gun and pressure pot cleaners such as UG4000E, UG6000E, UG5000EW, UG6000EH, UPP6500E and UG7500E. These units are equipped with special pails and hoses to permit easy flow of solvent to and from the solvent recycler.

The transfer system of the URS500EP2 includes:

Two dual diaphragm pumps, two 5-minute timers, a receiving pail, hoses and fittings.

URS500SS 

URS500EP2SS

These are versions of the URS500 model with a 316-grade stainless steel condenser and fittings to resist acidic and corrosive solvents. The URS500 has a copper condenser.

WATER: Use the URS500SS to recycle water or used solvent that includes water. Water can corrode a copper condenser but not a stainless steel condenser.

URS 600 SERIES

including URS 600EP2, URS600SS and URS 600EP2SS

The URS600 series is the same as the URS500 series except that the URS600 series has 220-240 V input while the URS500 series has 110-120 V input.

Features

• Distillation by vaporization and condensation.
• Automatic shut off.
• Sophisticated solid-state microprocessor controls the work flow and continuously monitors operating parameters. Complete self diagnostic system.
• Direct electric heating, with no oil to change or refrigerant to change ever.
• High efficiency copper condenser, air cooled with motor driven fan.
• Outer cabinet and lid are made from 304-grade stainless steel for long life.
• Distillation tank is made from 316-grade stainless steel for long life.
• Complete with 3 heat resistant liner bags to capture waste residue, 2 lid gaskets and an explosion proof plug.

Safety Features

• Certified to UL safety standard 2208 and CSA standard 22.2 no. 30 and 88 by ETL for use with solvents in Class 1, Division 1, group D locations. UL2208, with many built in safety programs, is the safety standard for solvent recyclers.
• Additional safety features include the lid pressure relief system, safety cover and optional lid lock.

The work shop of all collision repairs shop is classified as a class 1 division 2 by the National Electrical Code, due to the intermittent presence of solvent vapors. The paint mixing room is classified as the more stringent class 1 division 1 area, as solvent vapors are normally present.  Uni-ram solvent recyclers are approved for use in all collision repair shops, other class 1 division 1 and 2 locations and non classified locations.

IMPORTANT SAFETY AND USAGE ADVISORY

Do not recycle solvents that includes Nitrocellulose due to its low auto ignition temperature and Peroxides due to its thermal decomposition. Check the Safety Data Sheet of both the solvent and waste material for the presence of these 2 substances.

Operation

Pour 5 gallons of used solvent into the liner bag in the distillation tank. Press Start to turn on the heating element. The solvent vaporizes, travels through the condenser where it is cooled to a liquid by an electric fan and then flows into the receiving pail.  The residue that remains in the heat resistant liner bag is transferred to a waste drum for later disposal. Most residues including waste paint is disposed of as a hazardous material.

Typical Applications

Reclaim lacquer thinners and gun wash solvents used to remove paint and debris from spray guns and other spray equipment.

Typical users

• Paint and Body Shops
• Wood shops and furniture restorers not using resins containing nitrocellulose.

Shipping Dimensions: 20″w x 20″d x 47″h (51cmW x 51cmD x 119cmH) Shipping Weight: 120 lb (54kg)

Consumables

• a high-temperature liner bag, supplied as a 10-pack (part number LB900C-10), is required for every recycling batch.
• Replace the lid gasket in your unit at least once every 6 months. Part numbers are shown below.
• Please do not use turkey or similar types of bags that have thinner and/or unsuitable grades of plastic for solvents.
