Spray gun cleaners for paint booths and finishing lines
An automatic spray gun cleaner washes paint spray guns, cups, needles and fluid passages in a closed cabinet, in about the time it takes to mix the next batch. Compared with cleaning by hand in an open bucket, a paint gun washer cuts solvent use, keeps fumes contained and gets guns back in service faster and cleaner, color change after color change. Solvent Recycling Systems carries Kresco spray gun washers in solvent, water-based and hybrid configurations, from single-gun manual stations to twin-station automatic machines.
Manual, automatic or both

Manual spray gun cleaning stations use a recirculating brush and rinse nozzle, ideal for touch-up and low-volume shops (Kresco GW300M, wall-mounted GWM100 TWIN).
Automatic spray gun cleaning machines wash guns and cups inside a closed lid on a timed cycle while the painter keeps working (Kresco GWA200 wall-mounted, S-series automatic cleaners).
Combination manual/automatic and twin-station units let you pre-clean by hand then run an automatic cycle, or wash two guns at once (Kresco GW500A, GW600T, GMWA600 TWIN).

Solvent or water-based
Match the washer to your coatings. Solvent-based spray gun washers clean solvent-borne paints, primers and clear coats with lacquer thinner or gun-wash solvent. Water-based spray gun washers handle waterborne coatings, and hybrid units like the Kresco GMWA700 Puretech handle both.
Recycle the gun-wash solvent
Dirty gun-wash solvent is one of the easiest streams to recover. A solvent recycler distills it back to clean solvent on site, so the same thinner goes back into your gun washer instead of a waste drum. Most paint shops pair the two. See our guide for paint booths and finishing lines.
