OPERATORS GUIDE
1) Safety
Before operating the BECCA SOLVENT SAVER™, read the Instruction Manual completely. All BECCA products are
engineered and manufactured to the highest performance standards and have been subjected to detailed testing before
shipment from the factory.
DANGER LABELS (1- 4) WARNING LABELS (5 –8)
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
1. Presence of flammable vapors and solvents. 4. Wear Breathable Air during use 7. Wear solvent-proof rubber gloves.
2. No smoking or metal grinding in area. 5. Observe warnings at all times. 8. Wear protective eye wear before use
3. Keep away from open flames. 6. Read the Instruction Manual carefully.
WARNING! Read the Instruction Manual to become familiar with all aspects of the equipment.
2) Operation
1. Before filling the Recycler, place a new Recycler Bag in the Tank. Fold
the excess bag material down over the ring. Be sure to keep the bag
clear of the loading fitting.
2. Turn the Unloading Valve on the Recycler and pump used solvent waste
into Recycler 2 to 3 inches below top of the basket.
3. Pour Paint waste into Recycler –Make sure to stir waste paint in Recycler
bag to dilute the concentration.
Add no more than 16 Gallons of paint solids to a 55 gal unit or
there will be efficiency losses.
Caution! Larger amounts of Paint Solids will reduce the capabilities of the unit.
This is due to the large heat sink created by the excess solid material.
4. The system will initially be set at 350 ºF for 6 hours at 100% power. Adjustments
(see Instruction Manual) to the time may be required depending on the types of
solvents, type of paint, the painter’s waste levels, and the desired consistency of
the Waste material.
5. Assure there is an empty metal container under the tube coming from the
Condenser.
WARNING!Make sure the ground strap is attached.

6. Turn the Power Switch “On”…. Turn the Cycle Switch “On”. The cycle is now initiated. The system display will show:
7. We recommend not opening the unit after the cycle is completed for
3 –6 Hours or the Temperature is below 160 °F (Depends on
temperature, time, and the amount of solid waste). This allows the unit
to cool down.
8. The resulting ‘Still Bottom’ will range in
consistency from slurry to a marshmallow. All of
this is again dependent on the types of solvents,
type of paint, and the painter’s waste levels and
Recycler settings (Time & Temperature).
9. Dispose of the ‘Still Bottom’ in an approved
Hazardous Waste container and assure proper
labeling.
10. You are now ready for the next cycle of the process.
3) Troubleshooting
1. See “Instruction Manual” Page 35-36
2. Weak Solvent
-This is from the Cleaning process causing evaporation of “Acetone”. Add “Acetone” – typical solvent used in
solvent formulations that starts to evaporate at 80ºF and Boils at 130ºF.
-Water in the solvent –This will weaken the solvent potency.
4) Maintenance
1. Each Use - Replace Recycler Bag. Use only BECCA Recycler Bags to
assure performance 655055-25 (25 PK), 655055- 50 (50 PK)
or 655055-100 (100 PK)
- Remove any contaminants from the bottom of the Boiler
2. Each day - Wipe-down the unit with solvent. The paint and decals
are solvent resistant.
- Remove any contaminants from the bottom of the Boiler
3. Semi-Annually - Blow off condenser (externally) to remove dust and dirt
- Replace BECCA Protect™ Maintenance Coating (831004)
- Review Ground Clamp (823079K)
4. Annually - Replace Seal (551935)
- Blow out Condenser (internally)
- Review & Replace any illegible or damaged Decals
