Refrigerant Recovery Units – A2L & HVAC Recovery Machines for Australian Tradies

Recovering refrigerant before service work isn't optional — it's a legal requirement in Australia for fluorocarbon refrigerants. A quality recovery machine gets the job done faster, protects your equipment from contamination, and keeps you compliant with ARCtick regulations. This collection covers portable and workshop recovery units suited to residential splits, commercial refrigeration, and automotive A/C work.

Choosing the Right Recovery Machine or Reclaim Unit

Key Features to Compare

• Recovery rate (kg/min) — higher is faster, especially important on large commercial systems
• Refrigerant compatibility — confirm R32, R410A, R404A, R134a, or R1234yf as needed for your work
• Oil separator — essential for automotive A/C where compressor oil must be measured and replaced accurately
• Push-pull capability — allows simultaneous liquid and vapour recovery for faster results on large systems
• Weight and portability — matters if you're carrying the unit up ladders or between jobs

Complete Your Recovery Setup

A recovery machine works best as part of a complete service workflow. Pair yours with:

• Javac JAVOS032 Filter Kit — protect your machine from system debris and acid on every job
• Vacuum pumps — for deep evacuation after recovery
• Digital micron gauges — to verify evacuation depth before recharging
• HVAC tool kits — bundled recovery and evacuation setups
