Maratek Trust Badge-230px

Maratek designs and manufactures industrial solvent recovery and recycling systems for companies that generate solvent waste.

Our equipment helps businesses recover valuable solvents for reuse, reduce disposal requirements and lower solvent purchasing costs. From paint manufacturing and flexographic printing to hazardous waste processing, our systems are engineered around the specific waste streams, production volumes and operating requirements of each facility.

Solutions for Our Core Industries

Furniture and Cabinetry Industry Thumbnail

Furniture & Cabinetry

Recover finishing solvents and lacquer thinners for reuse.
Furniture and cabinetry manufacturers generate solvent waste through staining, coating, finishing and spray-equipment cleaning. Maratek solvent recovery systems help these operations recover usable solvent on-site, reduce waste shipments and lower the cost of purchasing new material. Equipment can be selected according to production volume, solvent type and facility requirements.

Flexographic Printing & Packaging

Recover and reuse solvents from press-cleaning operations
Flexographic printers generate solvent waste while cleaning presses, ink systems, anilox rolls and production equipment. Maratek solvent recovery systems allow printers to process contaminated solvents on-site and recover usable material for reuse. This helps reduce solvent purchasing, lower hazardous waste disposal costs and improve solvent management across daily printing operations.

Paint, Coatings & Finishing

Recover valuable solvents from production and cleaning processes
Paint and coatings operations generate solvent waste during equipment cleaning, colour changes, product formulation and spray applications. Maratek solvent recovery systems help businesses process this waste on-site, recover reusable solvent and reduce disposal requirements. Our equipment can be configured around your solvent composition, production volume and required recovery quality.

Waste & Environmental

Transform collected solvent waste into a recoverable resource
Waste management companies and environmental service providers process solvent streams from a wide range of customers and industries. Maratek solvent recovery systems help facilities separate reusable solvent from contaminated waste, reduce final disposal volumes and create additional recovery opportunities. Systems can be configured for different solvent mixtures, batch sizes and processing requirements.

Why Companies Choose On-Site Solvent Recovery?

Reduce Solvent Purchases: Recover usable solvent from your existing waste stream and, where appropriate, return it to your operation.
Lower Waste Disposal Costs: Reduce the volume of liquid waste that must be stored, transported and sent for off-site disposal.
Improve Waste Management: Create a more controlled and predictable process for handling solvent waste at your facility.
Support Sustainability Goals: Reuse valuable materials, reduce transportation requirements and limit the amount of waste requiring final disposal.
Build a Solution Around Your Process: Maratek systems are available in multiple sizes and configurations and can be engineered around your solvent type, production volume and recovery requirements.

Success Stories: Real Results from Industry Leaders

The Solvent Saver 300 system Maratek installed here at Colorado Printing is working extremely well. It has lived up to every Maratek claim. We had tried another system that was nothing but headache after headache. We are pleased the Maratek Solvent Saver was able to help us reclaim our waste solvents.

I am pleased with Maratek's automatic recycling unit and service department. They have enabled us to clean up our contaminated solvent waste so that we can reuse it on-site.

Pro Form Products Ltd.

The Maratek Solvent Saver was installed just over 3 years ago and I can say it has lived up to its claims of being able to provide quality recovered solvent for reuse on our Heidelberg sheetfed presses. We had looked at other systems but the flexibility, small space requirements, and being able to use our current solvent without switching made the Maratek system our final choice. We feel we made the right decision. Lake Country Press believes in doing its part in helping our environment, the Maratek Solvent Saver definitely plays a big part in our environmental and cost saving initiatives.

Lake Country Press

We have had the Maratek Solvent Saver for several years now and without a doubt it helped us achieve and maintain lower waste generator status and make our waste volume more manageable. I allow tours for Maratek because I am proud of what it does for us and feel everyone that creates solvent waste should have a Maratek System.

Standard Printing Company

Maratek's unit has worked really well. We have been using it to recycle toluene from road paints, but most surprising of all - we can't believe how quiet it is.

City of Burnaby

We have had very few issues with our recycling unit. The installation and on-site setup was simple and fast.
