TE-60 Solvent Distillation Machine | On-site Distillation System For Printing Industry Waste Solvent

Printing operations generate large volumes of waste thinner and ink-mixed solvent every day. The conventional practice is to store hazardous waste on-site and outsource disposal to third-party treatment vendors, which brings three core pain points for printers:

• Valuable floor space is occupied by hazardous waste drums, limiting production layout.
• Continuous high expenditure on third-party waste disposal services.
• High-quality usable solvent is discarded directly, causing resource waste.

Our TE-60 explosion-proof solvent distillation unit is specifically designed for the on-site distillation of contaminated thinner and ink-waste mixtures. It enables the recovery of clean, reusable solvents directly within your facility. By implementing this solution, you can significantly reduce the volume of stored hazardous waste, reclaim valuable floor space for production or office use, and establish a closed-loop solvent recycling system for your printing plant.

1. 1. On-site Recycling, Eliminate Long-term Hazardous Waste Storage

   Process your ink-thinner mixed waste solvent inside your facility. No more stacking dozens of waste drums. Recovered clean solvent can flow back to your printing production line immediately. The space previously reserved for waste storage can be converted into production area, warehouse or office zone, maximizing your plant utilization.

2. 2. Slash Recurring Waste Disposal Cost

   Stop paying high fees to hazardous waste treatment contractors. With a 95% solvent recovery rate, most of your used thinner can be reused repeatedly. The machine delivers stable ROI and greatly reduces your annual environmental management budget.

3. 3. Explosion-proof Design for Printing Workshop Safety

   Certified explosion-proof standard ExdbIIBT3/T4Gb, perfectly adapted to flammable solvent working conditions in printing, packaging and coating workshops. Full PLC automatic control reduces manual operation risks. It supports 24-hour continuous stable operation to match your printing production rhythm.

4. 4. Flexible Cooling & Customized Power Options

   Choose air cooling or water cooling configuration based on your workshop condition. Voltage and frequency can be customized for 50Hz / 60Hz global power grids, suitable for printing factories across different countries.

5. 5. Corrosion-resistant Stainless Steel Construction

   All liquid contact components adopt SUS304 / SUS316 stainless steel, anti-corrosion for various printing thinners, cleaning solvents and ink mixed waste. Robust SUS201 frame ensures long service life and easy daily cleaning.

Waste mixed liquid of printing thinner, cleaning solvent, ink residue solvent, widely used for packaging printing, label printing, gravure printing, flexo printing factories.

The contaminated solvent & ink mixture is fed into the recovery chamber. Through controlled heating distillation, the solvent vapor is separated from ink residue, pigment and impurities. Vapor goes into the cooling system and condenses into clean, reusable solvent. Only a small amount of thick ink residue is left for disposal, which cuts waste volume by over 90%.

We are the source manufacturer, Chongqing JBETT Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd. We focus on explosion-proof solvent recovery equipment for the printing, coating and new material industries. We provide complete technical support, certification documents, installation guidance and after-sales service for overseas clients.

Our matched high-temperature distillation bag is an ideal consumable accessory for the TE-60 solvent recovery machine, specially customized for printing ink sludge and mixed thinner waste. It greatly optimizes your daily distillation workflow, especially for high-solid ink waste liquid.

• Fast, Mess-Free Sludge Removal, Save Huge Cleaning Time

  In gravure and flexo printing, ink residue is sticky and easy to bake onto the heating chamber wall. With the distillation bag, all pigment, resin and sludge are fully contained inside the bag. After the cycle and cooling down, you just lift out the whole bag — no manual scraping, chiseling or long-time tank scrubbing. What used to take hours of tough cleaning only takes minutes. Reduce machine downtime between batches.

• Protect Heating Chamber & Stabilize Heat Transfer, Keep 95% Recovery Efficiency Long-term

  Without liners, baked ink sludge builds layer by layer on the inner tank wall. It forms an insulating coating that slows heating, raises power consumption and pulls down solvent recovery rate. The distillation bag isolates sludge from the stainless steel tank, maintaining stable thermal conductivity, consistent distillation speed and guaranteed 95% recovery efficiency. It also prevents tank corrosion and extends the service life of your TE-60 main unit.

• Improve Workshop Safety & Reduce Hazardous Exposure for Operators

  The antistatic, solvent-resistant bag fully seals hazardous ink sludge and residual solvent. Operators avoid direct contact with volatile solvent vapors and sticky hazardous sludge during cleaning. It perfectly matches the ExdbIIBT3/T4Gb explosion-proof design of TE-60, lowering occupational health risks for your printing team.

• Cut Final Hazardous Waste Disposal Cost Further

  The sludge is concentrated and sealed inside the bag. You can directly hand over the sealed bag for third-party disposal. No extra tank washing wastewater or secondary contaminated waste is generated, helping you simplify waste reporting and compliance management.

• Custom-fit for TE-60, Heat & Chemical Resistant

  Specially sized for the TE-60 feeding chamber. Made of premium polyamide material, anti-static, resistant to printing thinners, ethyl acetate, alcohols and most common printing solvents, stable under distillation high temperature. No melting, cracking or leakage during normal working cycles.
