TE-60 Explosion-proof Solvent Recovery Machine | For Waste Anhydrous Ethanol Recycling

Overview

TE-60 explosion-proof solvent recovery machine is purpose-built for factories consuming large volumes of anhydrous ethanol (absolute ethanol).
Anhydrous ethanol is widely used for extraction, cleaning and formulation in pharma, botanical extraction, cosmetics, electronics and fine chemical industries. After production use, contaminated anhydrous ethanol waste liquid is normally treated as hazardous waste, leading to extremely high purchasing & disposal costs.

The TE-60 utilizes vacuum distillation technology to separate residues, oils, and impurities from waste liquids, effectively isolating the ethanol. The recovered ethanol can be returned directly to the production line, significantly lowering procurement costs for fresh anhydrous ethanol while reducing the generation of hazardous waste. Designed with full explosion-proof specifications, the unit can safely handle highly flammable ethanol vapors and is well-suited for continuous industrial-scale operations.

Core Advantages for Anhydrous Ethanol Recovery

1. Full explosion-proof construction for ethanol’s high flammability                                                                                              ExdbIIBT3/T4Gb explosion-proof rating, all electrical components are explosion-proof certified. Ethanol vapor is highly flammable; the sealed vacuum distillation structure prevents vapor leakage, over-temperature auto-protection and pressure alarm, eliminating fire & explosion risks in your production workshop.
2. High 95% recovery yield, preserve ethanol quality                                                                                                                      Vacuum distillation lowers the boiling point of ethanol, preventing thermal decomposition (requires an integrated vacuum storage unit). The recovered ethanol is comparable to fresh solvent and can be reused for extraction, cleaning, and formulation processes. For clients with stricter requirements, product-contact parts made of SUS316 stainless steel are available as an option to minimize metal ion contamination.
3. PLC automatic unattended operation                                                                                                                                                  One-click start, automatic temperature, vacuum and condensate monitoring. Overheat, overpressure & fault alarm with automatic shutdown. Supports non-stop 24-hour batch processing, perfectly matching continuous ethanol-consuming production lines.
4. Flexible cooling options to match your site

• Water-cooled version: stable condensation effect for high-volume ethanol distillation, ideal for factories with circulating cooling water.
• Air-cooled version: no water pipeline required, simple installation, suitable for plants without cooling water system.

5. Low operating cost & compact footprint                                                                                                                                              Net weight ~175kg with compact main body, easy to place inside existing production zones. Low power consumption and minimal maintenance. Short ROI for factories with large anhydrous ethanol consumption.
