Case Study: TE-60 Explosion-proof Solvent Distiller for Paper & Printing Industry
Client Background
This paper printing manufacturer generates waste ink residue, mixed waste alcohol and cleaning thinner during daily printing press maintenance.
Before adopting our in-house distillation solution, the factory outsourced all hazardous waste treatment. Two major pain points limited their operation:
1. High hazardous waste cost & environmental risk
Outsourced disposal cost reached 5000 CNY per ton. Transport of hazardous waste brought leakage risks and heavy pressure under local environmental inspections.
2. Continuous high expenditure on fresh cleaning thinner
Annual thinner consumption for printing machine maintenance: ~8 tons, purchasing price at 11,000 CNY/ton. Long-term procurement created heavy operational expense.
To comply with national green & low-carbon guidelines for printing industry and local waste recycling regulations, the factory decided to purchase an on-site solvent distillation unit in 2026. After technical evaluation, they selected JBETT TE-60 explosion-proof solvent recovery distiller.
Solution & Equipment Specifications
The TE-60 solvent recovery system is specially engineered for printing waste streams containing ink sludge, alcohol and thinner mixture.
- Batch capacity: ≥50L per batch for waste ink residue + alcohol/thinner mixed solvent
- Distillation cycle: ≤4 hours per batch
- Solvent recovery rate: ≥90% for cleaning thinner
- Safety: Full explosion-proof construction, high-temperature alarm, over-pressure protection
- Control: Semi-auto / fully automatic operation, liquid level display, automatic temperature adjustment
- Easy operation & maintenance for on-site operators
Project Outcome after Commissioning
We have finished on-site machine delivery, installation & commissioning. The system runs stably for daily waste solvent treatment:
(1)Cut hazardous waste volume & eliminate transportation leakage risk
Waste solvent is processed on-site. Only small volume of solid distillation residue needs external disposal. Risk of leakage during hazardous waste transportation is removed, fully meeting environmental compliance requirements.
(2)Recovered thinner reused for printing press maintenance
More than 90% usable thinner is recycled and reused directly on production lines, sharply reducing purchase of brand-new thinner and saving large annual procurement budget.
(3)Lower overall waste treatment cost
Compared with full-volume outsourcing disposal at 5000CNY/ton, total hazardous waste expenditure drops significantly.
(4)Safe automated operation for printing workshop
Explosion-proof design with multi safety interlocks. Automatic temperature control and real-time liquid level monitoring reduce manual operation difficulty, meeting safety standards for flammable solvent workshop.
Client Value
This project is a typical green transformation case for printing & packaging sector. The on-site distillation system converts hazardous waste solvent into reusable raw material. It delivers triple benefits: environmental compliance, hazardous waste volume reduction and production cost saving. It offers a replicable solution for paper, packaging and label printing factories dealing with ink waste and mixed cleaning solvent.
