Professional Performance Meets Cutting-Edge Technology
When your shop demands precision, reliability, and state-of-the-art performance, the Mahle ACX2180 ArcticPRO® R134a Refrigerant Handling System delivers on all fronts. Engineered for high-volume automotive service environments, this fully automatic refrigerant recovery and recharge machine is designed to run practically unattended, freeing your technicians to focus on other critical tasks while it handles A/C service with +/- 0.5 oz. charging accuracy and 95% recovery performance in 30 minutes or less.
Built to meet and exceed SAE J2788, SAE J2099, and UL 1963 certifications, the ACX2180 combines a powerful 3/8 HP compressor, a robust 2 CFM dual-stage vacuum pump, and an advanced three-transducer system that reduces process times compared to dual-sensor units. The ergonomic design features a large 7-inch capacitive color touchscreen with an intuitive user interface available in English, French, and Spanish, making operation straightforward for any technician. An integrated LED status indicator allows you to monitor machine status from anywhere in the workshop, streamlining workflow and maximizing efficiency.
The ArcticPRO ACX2180 isn't just powerful—it's smart.

Plus, remote support capabilities allow MAHLE technicians to connect directly to your unit for troubleshooting and advanced assistance, minimizing service interruptions.
Designed for Effortless Operation and Maintenance
The ACX2180 was engineered with your shop's productivity in mind. The machine's new ergonomic hinged service door provides quick, easy access to internal components, making routine maintenance and filter changes fast and hassle-free. With a 150 lb. (68 kg) spin-on filter-drier capacity, a 30 lb. (13.6 kg) DOT-certified charging cylinder, and 9-foot high-quality service hoses with quick-release couplings, this unit is built to handle the rigors of daily professional use.
Advanced oil system management automatically weighs recovered oil, allowing accurate replenishment of oil removed during service. The system accommodates two different oil types for injection, giving you flexibility for various vehicle requirements. Integrated UV dye injection provides an added layer of diagnostic capability, enabling high-level A/C system leak detection to ensure quality service every time.
Optional features further extend the capabilities of the ACX2180. Add a thermal printer for on-site service report printing, or integrate a refrigerant identifier to prevent contamination of machine internals and protect your investment. Network printing capability allows you to retain valuable service records and print detailed reports for customer documentation, supporting both warranty claims and service tracking.
