Mining equipment comes into the shop carrying the heaviest soil there is, and the spares waiting on the shelf sit in some of the harshest storage conditions there are. Solvent Recycling Systems supplies mine maintenance shops, heavy equipment rebuilders and aggregate operations with equipment for both problems.

In the maintenance shop
Cleaning big, dirty components
Final drives, transmissions, hydraulic cylinders, engine blocks and undercarriage parts arrive packed with grease, baked-on oil and rock dust. They have to be clean before anyone can inspect, measure or rebuild them, and hand-cleaning parts that size ties up a technician for hours.
What we supply: heavy-duty jet-spray parts washers sized for driveline, engine and hydraulic components, along with aqueous parts washers in front-load, top-load and conveyor formats and solvent parts washers for the bench. The aqueous parts washer buyer’s guide covers sizing and heat.
Stripping and surface prep for rebuilds
Buckets, frames, housings and structural parts need old coating, rust and scale removed before weld repair or repainting.
What we supply: blast cabinets, blast rooms and automated blasting systems.
Shop supplies
Parts washer solvent, detergents, filters and baskets, and cleaners and degreasers.
In storage and on standby
Mines carry expensive spares for years: gearboxes, motors, pumps, bearings and rebuilt components, often in unheated buildings or outdoors. Equipment also gets parked for long stretches between campaigns or during shutdowns. Cortec VpCI vapor phase corrosion inhibitors protect it without heavy coatings that have to be stripped before the part goes into service.
- VpCI shrink film and wrap for equipment and skids stored outdoors.
- Additives for gearbox oil, hydraulic fluid and fuel in idle machines.
- Emitters for electrical cabinets, control panels and enclosures.
- Papers, bags and films for spare parts on the shelf.
What we supply: Cortec VpCI rust prevention. See how to shrink wrap equipment for storage, the oil and elastomer compatibility charts, and the VpCI product selection guide.
