A solvent recovery machine isn't just for large factories — it's a meaningful investment even for small workshops using 30–50 litres of solvent per month. Small businesses can also significantly reduce the machine cost through government support programmes.
What Is the Minimum Consumption Threshold?
For any business using 30+ litres of solvent per month, a recovery machine is economically viable. Below this threshold, payback extends. For 30–100 litres/month, the AR-60 model is suitable.
💡 Small workshop using 50L/month: 85% recovery = 42.5L saved/month. Multiplied by cost/litre = meaningful monthly savings. AR-60 pays back in ~12 months.
Government Incentives
Small businesses can benefit from government technology and innovation support programmes. 40–70% of machine cost may be covered by grant or non-repayable support. Payback period shortens dramatically.
Step-by-Step Starter Plan
- 1. Measure your monthly solvent consumption for 3 months
- 2. List the solvent types you use
- 3. Apply for government support via local enterprise office
- 4. Request a price quote and savings analysis from ARMIN
- 5. Plan installation and operator training
Conclusion
For small businesses, a solvent recovery machine is not an investment to postpone because of budget constraints — it's one that should be evaluated first.
✅ With government support, the AR-60 can be obtained at 40–70% below retail price.
