The Robinair RG3 Portable Refrigerant Recovery Machine sets the new standard in professional refrigerant recovery. Engineered for HVAC technicians who demand reliability and performance, the RG3 delivers exceptional recovery capabilities in a remarkably compact and portable design. Whether you're working on a rooftop commercial unit, a residential HVAC system, or a marine air conditioning installation, this recovery machine is built to handle the challenge with ease and efficiency.
Featuring a 1/3 hp oil-less single cylinder compressor, the RG3 is capable of recovering both liquid and vapor refrigerant using push-pull technology. This versatile machine works with virtually all common CFC, HFC, and HCFC refrigerants including R-410A, making it an essential tool for any service truck. With UL (ARI-740) and CE approvals, you can trust that the RG3 meets rigorous safety and performance standards.
What truly sets the RG3 apart is its portability without compromise. At just 18 lbs and featuring a 40% smaller footprint than comparable models, this recovery machine is easy to carry to any job site. The compact dimensions of 12.5" L x 6.5" W x 9.5" H mean it fits easily in your vehicle alongside other equipment, yet it delivers full-sized performance thanks to its innovative high efficiency cross flow design that maximizes airflow across the condenser for shorter recovery cycle times.
The Robinair RG3 is built to withstand the punishment of daily professional use, even under extreme conditions. From sweltering rooftop repairs in summer heat to tight mechanical room installations, this machine keeps working when you need it most. The rugged protective case shields critical components from job site hazards, while the comfortable ergonomic handle makes transport between jobs effortless.
Safety is paramount in refrigerant recovery work. The RG3 features a high pressure safety shut-off switch that automatically shuts down the machine if internal pressure rises above 550 psi, protecting both the operator and the equipment from potential hazards. Easy-to-read gauges and simple 2-valve controls make operation straightforward, even for technicians new to the equipment.
The oil-less compressor design eliminates the maintenance hassle and potential contamination issues associated with oil-lubricated recovery machines. This means less downtime, reduced maintenance costs, and confidence that you're recovering clean refrigerant without oil carryover that could compromise your recovery cylinder or contaminate the refrigerant supply.

No two jobs are exactly alike, and the RG3 is designed with that reality in mind. From residential air conditioning systems to commercial rooftop units to marine HVAC applications, this recovery machine adapts to your work environment. The push-pull recovery capability enables efficient liquid recovery for faster job completion, while the vapor recovery mode ensures you can extract refrigerant from any system configuration.
The 110V AC, 60 Hz power requirement means the RG3 runs on standard outlet power at any job site, and the included IEC connector with power cord ensures reliable electrical connections. Simple controls and clear gauge readings mean you spend less time figuring out the equipment and more time completing the recovery job efficiently.
Whether you're a seasoned HVAC professional or building your first service toolkit, the Robinair RG3 delivers the perfect balance of portability, power, and reliability. Its compact size doesn't mean compromised performance – this machine recovers refrigerant as quickly and thoroughly as much larger units, but without the back-breaking weight or bulky dimensions that make transportation a challenge.
