DOT recovery cylinders, ready to fill

Rent by the month, buy outright, or exchange full for empty. Every cylinder leaves Santa Fe Springs weighed, tested, evacuated, vacuum-sealed, and shrink-wrapped.

01Options

Rent, buy, or exchange

Recovered pressurized refrigerant belongs in refillable DOT-spec recovery cylinders — never disposables. However you source them, ours arrive prepped and documented.

Monthly rental

Recovery cylinders on monthly rental rates, quoted per size and quantity. Sized for a single changeout or a season of recovery work.

Purchase

Buy DOT-spec recovery cylinders outright for your own fleet, prepped to the same standard as our rental stock.

Exchange

Swap full cylinders for prepped empties in one stop — at the warehouse or on a pickup by our USDOT 3376631 registered fleet.

Identify the contents before returning a cylinder. Mixed or unusable material requires assessment; acceptance and any handling or disposal charges are confirmed for the load.

02Preparation

Four steps before any cylinder ships

A contaminated cylinder contaminates your gas — and your buyback price. Every cylinder gets the same prep, every time.

  1. Weighed

    Tare weight verified on certified scales and recorded, so net refrigerant weight is indisputable when the cylinder comes back.

  2. Tested

    Valve and cylinder integrity checked, and the DOT requalification date confirmed current before the cylinder goes out.

  3. Evacuated

    Pulled to deep vacuum so nothing left from the last load contaminates yours. Your recovered gas grades on its own merits.

  4. Sealed and wrapped

    Vacuum-sealed and shrink-wrapped. When you cut the wrap, you know the cylinder is exactly as it left the facility.

03Compliance

Requalification tracked for you

Requalification intervals depend on cylinder specification and service under 49 CFR 180.209. We check applicable test dates before dispatch.

Refillable DOT-spec only

Recovered pressurized refrigerant ships in refillable DOT recovery cylinders. Our stock carries current test dates and verified tare weights, so your load moves without questions.

Requalification dates tracked

Requalification testing is on us. Rental and exchange cylinders rotate out of service before their dates lapse — one less compliance calendar for your shop to keep.
