When you need reliable recovery without complex automation, Solvent Recovery Unit K16 offers manual operation with SMART features: vacuum distillation, analogue programming, and optional ATEX II 2G (Zone 1) certification. Its 18 litre tank supports up to 36 litres/day productivity, helping reduce solvent disposal volumes by regenerating usable solvent for reuse.
This series of Ciemme recycler systems is recommended for the recovery of small quantities of exhausted solvent. It immediately allows you to significantly reduce disposal costs. Just set the time and temperature to start a distillation cycle. To facilitate cleaning and residue extraction, you can use the distillation bags.
This range of solvent distillers is suitable for the Printing, Photopolymer, Coatings & Industry, and Chemistry & Extraction Sectors.

Coatings & industrial cleaning loops: Use Solvent Recovery Unit K16 to recover wash solvents from coating lines, paint circulation systems and equipment-cleaning tasks. Solvent distillation separates the solvent from contaminants through evaporation and condensation, returning reusable solvent to the process and reducing waste handling. The K16’s compact SMART capacity makes it well suited to lighter-throughput operations with regular wash cycles and a few cleaning points.
Workshop & maintenance operations: A practical choice for centralising solvent recovery from parts washers, gun-wash stations and tool-cleaning areas. By distilling contaminated solvent and reusing it on-site, you can reduce reliance on deliveries and cut down the volume of spent solvent stored awaiting disposal – helping improve housekeeping and keeping solvent availability more consistent.
Chemistry & extraction support: In lab-to-pilot environments, Solvent Recovery Unit K16 can help regenerate compatible solvents used for cleaning glassware, vessels and ancillary equipment. The SMART range is designed for smaller quantities of exhausted solvent, with manual cycle control and optional ATEX Zone 1 versions where required by site classification.
