Modern environmental legislation means that automotive air conditioner repair is beset with a number of different rules about how different types of refrigerant must be treated in order to avoid unnecessary contamination through the release of potentially harmful chemicals.  The refrigerants used in modern air conditioners are much more ecologically sound than they were in the past, but they can still do damage to the environment if they are not treated properly.  This process is complicated further when you factor in the idea that different refrigerants such as R-12 and R-134 need to be handled separately in order to prevent contamination of one chemical with another.  With the Robinair 17800B AC machine air conditioning recovery and recycling system, you are able to handle multiple different refrigerants using a single machine, which has a number of benefits both for your productivity, and also for your profitability.
The main advantage of being able to utilize a single piece of equipment to handle different roles within your business is that you are able to significantly reduce the acquisition cost that you face when tooling up.  Investing in a single Robinair 17800B unit rather than using multiple units within your auto repair shop will allow you the ability to comfortably work on larger jobs such as RVs and trucks where multiple cooling systems are installed, and where they all use different refrigerants due to their different purposes.
The Robinair 17800B recovery machine can recycle all of the major types of refrigerant that are currently in use around the world.  You can use it for R-12, R134, R-22, R-502 MP and HP brands. 
One of the main advantages from the point of view of the end user of employing one of these units within your workshop is that you will be able to spend less time considering exactly what you need to do with the refrigerant, and how it needs to be treated.  Simply set up the Robinair 17800B with the appropriate information, and it will perform the recycling process for you.
Robinair products have long been respected by end users thanks to the incredible quality that they offer coupled with the fact that the company has invested so much effort in producing tools that are designed to be user friendly and also rugged
