Debuting at the 2022 SEMA Show, Rotary’s new shop equipment product line provides North American automotive service professionals with a quick, efficient, and cost-effective way to recover, recycle and recharge R134a and R1234yf refrigerant gases.
Three Models Available

The single-gas R3AC60-YF (R1234yf refrigerant compatible).
The dual-gas R3AC80-AYF (both R134a and R1234yf compatible) that automatically purges between gas changes/
“These A/C recharging machines are the new standard in efficiency and convenience for automotive repair shops and their customers,” said Doug Spiller, Director of Product Management for VSG Americas. “We are excited to equip shops with a tool that will help them extend their service capabilities and obtain greater revenues – just in time for the busy A/C season.”
Rotary A/C Machine Features
Powered by TEXA, the Rotary A/C machines deliver fast process times with detailed vehicle data subscriptions. With this focus on productivity and uptime, service centers will be able to charge more vehicles annually.
Each machine is Wi-Fi enabled, updates automatically, and can connect to peripheral devices such as smartphones and printers.
Remote monitoring is available through a mobile app, which allows technicians to focus on other tasks while the A/C machine is in operation.
