Compact, fast and compliance-focused refrigerant recovery gear for Australian HVAC pros.

Overview – Why Promax Recovery Units?

If you’re working with fluorocarbon refrigerants in Australia, you already know recovery isn’t optional – it’s the law. Under the Ozone Protection and Synthetic Greenhouse Gas Management Act and Regulations, controlled refrigerant must be recovered by properly licensed technicians and sent for recycling or safe disposal, not vented to atmosphere.

Promax recovery units give HVAC and refrigeration techs a compact, reliable way to meet those legal obligations while keeping jobs moving. This collection brings together three proven Promax machines:

Promax Minimax E High-Pressure Recovery Unit – compact, high-pressure ready all-rounder for service techs.
Promax RG5410A-E Recovery Unit – the everyday workhorse for general reclaim.
Promax RG6-E Twin Cylinder Recovery Unit – twin-cylinder performance for heavier workloads and faster turnaround.

Each unit is built around an oil-less compressor, robust safety cut-outs and high recovery rates, making them ideal for tradies who need dependable reclaim performance on residential, light commercial and small industrial plant.

Compare the Promax Minimax E, RG5410A-E and RG6-E above, then add the unit that fits your workload straight to cart – or reach out to us for a quick recommendation.

Key Benefits of Promax Recovery Units

Promax recovery units are designed for Australian conditions and modern refrigerants, including high-pressure blends commonly used in split systems and commercial gear.

Compliance, Safety and the Environment (AU Context)

Refrigerant isn’t just another consumable – it’s tightly regulated because of its potential environmental impact. Many refrigerants used in A/C and refrigeration today are potent greenhouse gases, and some older ones also deplete the ozone layer.

In Australia:

Only ARC-licensed technicians can handle, recover and trade controlled refrigerants.
Refrigerant must be recovered, not vented, from systems being serviced or decommissioned.
Unwanted refrigerant must be sent to approved schemes such as Refrigerant Reclaim Australia (RRA) for recycling or safe destruction.

Using a quality recovery unit like the Promax Minimax E, RG5410A-E or RG6-E helps you:

Stay aligned with Australian refrigerant handling codes of practice.
Reduce the risk of accidental discharge on-site.
Demonstrate to clients (and auditors) that you’re investing in the right tools to do the job properly.

If you’re building a compliance-ready recovery kit, pair your Promax unit with rated hoses, cylinders and a vacuum pump from our Refrigerant Recovery Units collection for a complete, standards-aligned setup.

How to Choose Between Promax Models

When you’re deciding which Promax recovery unit belongs on your truck, think beyond just price:

Refrigerant types and pressures
- Check the refrigerants and pressure ratings you work with most often (e.g. R410A, R32 and other A2L gases).
- Always confirm A2L/A3 suitability in the product specs and local WHS guidance before use.
Job size and recovery method
- Smaller residential jobs often suit direct vapour or direct liquid recovery.
- Larger charges benefit from push-pull methods and the higher throughput of a twin-cylinder unit like the RG6-E.
Portability and access
- If you’re constantly climbing roofs or working alone, the compact Minimax E may save your back.
- For workshop-based or multi-tech setups, the extra weight of a twin-cylinder unit is usually worth the speed.
Power supply and environment
- Ensure the unit’s voltage matches your job sites, and factor in ambient temperature – hot roofs, plant rooms and confined spaces can all impact recovery performance.

FAQs – Promax Recovery Units in Australia

Q: Are Promax recovery units suitable for use with modern high-pressure refrigerants?
A: Yes, Promax units such as the Minimax E and RG5410A-E are designed for high-pressure refrigerants, with safety cut-out protection built in. Always check the individual product specs and follow current Australian codes of practice before working with any new refrigerant.

Q: Do I need a licence to use a Promax recovery unit in Australia?
A: If you’re handling fluorocarbon refrigerants, you’ll generally need an appropriate ARC refrigerant handling licence and your business may need a Refrigerant Trading Authorisation. Discharging controlled refrigerant to atmosphere is illegal and can attract significant penalties.

Q: What happens to the refrigerant after I recover it?
A: Once recovered into approved cylinders, controlled refrigerant should be reclaimed or sent to a licensed facility or scheme such as Refrigerant Reclaim Australia (RRA) for recycling or safe destruction. That keeps harmful gases out of the atmosphere and supports Australia’s emissions-reduction goals.

Q: Where can I learn more about recovery unit selection and methods?
A: For a deeper dive into recovery speed, compressor types and methods (vapour, liquid, push-pull), you can read our in-depth Recovery Unit (HVAC) Buying Guide, along with technical resources from energy.gov.au and the ARC on HVAC efficiency and refrigerant handling.
