In a solvent recycling system, a distillation vessel having an upper distillation zone and a lower waste collection zone and means whereby solvent waste falls into said waste collection zone before solvent enters said distillation zone. The system preferably has a solvent vapour outlet and a heating means, whereby solvent enters the vessel from above through the solvent feed inlet and solvent waste falls into said waste collection zone before distillation is commenced, and a shut-off means or filling tube extending below the distillation zone associated with the inlet to prevent solvent vapours exiting the vessel through the inlet during distillation. |
