The CPS AR2700M is a professional-grade semi-automatic refrigerant recovery, recycle, and recharge machine engineered for technicians who work with multiple refrigerant types. Unlike single-refrigerant models, the AR2700M features a critical pump-down valve that allows you to safely evacuate the system and swap out tanks and filters between different refrigerants — supporting R134a, R12, R22, R502, R404a, R402a, R401a, R407c, and R409a. This multi-refrigerant capability makes it ideal for automotive shops, HVAC service providers, and mobile technicians servicing diverse equipment fleets.
Built on CPS's proven semi-automatic platform, the AR2700M replaces fragile solenoids and check valves with rugged ball-type manual control valves in the recovery and evacuation flow paths. This design significantly improves reliability and serviceability in real-world conditions where aftermarket A/C sealants, loose desiccant, and other contaminants often cause traditional valve systems to fail or leak. The machine gives you full manual control over low-side, high-side, recovery, and vacuum operations, allowing precise management of each stage of the R/R/R process.
The AR2700M incorporates an all-metal cabinet with heavy-duty 1-inch tubular frame construction, ensuring durability in busy shop environments. Mounted on 10-inch pneumatic wheels and 4.5-inch swivel casters, the unit is easy to maneuver around the shop floor or into service bays. An integrated tool drawer keeps your couplers, adapters, and hand tools organized and within reach, streamlining workflow and minimizing downtime.
The machine features a 12.67 cc twin-cylinder oil-less compressor for reliable refrigerant recovery and a high-efficiency 6 CFM vacuum pump capable of pulling deep vacuum down to 50 microns — critical for thorough system dehydration before recharging. The unit handles a wide operating range of 32°F to 120°F (0°C to 49°C), making it suitable for year-round use in climate-controlled shops or outdoor mobile service environments.
Standard equipment includes 8-foot hoses with manual couplers, providing ample reach for most passenger vehicles and light trucks. For servicing larger equipment such as commercial trucks, buses, or refrigerated containers, optional longer hoses are available to extend your working range. The included 50 lb refrigerant tank offers substantial capacity for most jobs, while maintaining a compact footprint on the service cart.
The defining feature of the AR2700M is its pump-down valve, which enables safe multi-refrigerant operation. When you need to switch from one refrigerant type to another, the pump-down valve allows you to evacuate refrigerant from the machine's internal lines and components back into the storage tank. You can then safely disconnect the tank, install a new filter-drier, and connect a tank with a different refrigerant — all without cross-contamination. This capability is essential for shops that service a diverse range of systems and need to maintain refrigerant purity and avoid costly mixing.
Important Note:
The AR2700M is designed for multiple refrigerant operation and is not SAE J2788 approved. It is intended for HVAC, industrial, and legacy automotive systems. If you require an SAE J2788 certified machine for modern automotive R134a service, please see the AR2700TA or AR2700TA10 single-refrigerant models. Mixing refrigerants will cause economic loss and system contamination.
The machine's 16 cubic inch filter-drier with moisture indicator ensures that recovered refrigerant is properly filtered and dried before being recharged into the system. The 12 VDC solenoid charging valve provides precise control over recharge operations, while suction and discharge pressure gauges (ranging from -30 inHg to 125 PSIG on low side and 0 to 500 PSIG on high side) give you real-time visibility into system pressures throughout the service process.
