Auto body and panel workshops use expensive thinner and specialty paint solvents for every cleaning and washing operation. Most of these solvents are discarded after single use. A recovery machine can break this cycle.
Which Solvents Are Used in Auto Body?
- Thinner: Gun cleaning, 85–92% recovery
- Acetone: Surface preparation, 90–95% recovery
- Specialty paint thinning solvent: Brand-dependent, 82–90% recovery
- IPA: Surface wipe, 92–96% recovery
Typical Workshop Savings Calculation
For a mid-sized auto body shop using 80L thinner + 20L IPA monthly: 85% recovery eliminates 85 litres of monthly solvent purchasing. This represents significant monthly savings at current prices.
💡 Specialty paint solvents are expensive, making recovery machines one of the fastest-returning investments for auto body shops.
Which Model Is Right?
Workshops using 50–120 L/month: AR-60 is ideal. 120–250 L/month: AR-120 is more efficient. Large multi-bay auto body facilities prefer AR-120 or AR-200.
Ease of Installation
AR-60 runs on single-phase power — a socket in the workshop is all that's needed. Footprint is only 1m × 1m.
✅ The majority of AR-60 users in auto body shops report payback within 4–6 months.
