Solvent Reclaimer
for Flexible Packaging Printing Industry
What are the common solvents used in printing ink?
The solvents for gravure printing inks are widely categorized into esters, alcohols, aromatics, and ketones.
Solvents are commonly added to the composition of printing inks. Solvents are important components in gravure inks and flexographic inks, as well as indispensable materials in adhesive formulations for plastic film lamination. They possess the ability to dissolve substances and have their own vaporization capabilities. The rate at which they evaporate is a crucial factor in determining the drying of the ink layer in evaporative inks and has a significant impact on print quality.
Common ester solvents include ethyl acetate (acetic acid ethyl ester) and butyl acetate (acetic acid butyl ester).
Frequently used alcohol solvents include ethanol (alcohol), isopropanol, and n-butanol.
Common aromatic solvents include benzene, toluene, and xylene.
Primary ketone solvents commonly used include methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) and cyclohexanone.
Reuse the waste print solvent, thinner used for cleaning spray gun, parts etc by solvent reclaimer
The primary role of a solvent reclaimer or diluent solvent reclaimer is to separate and recover useful solvents from used paints, inks, coatings, or other industrial liquids. Here are its main functions:
The recovered solvent can be reused, help you to save a lot of time and money, and reduce your dependence on solvent procurement,
the payback period of the solvent reclaimer only need half or one year.
The primary role of a solvent reclaimer or diluent solvent distillation unit is to separate and recover useful solvents from used paints, inks, coatings, or other industrial liquids. Here are its main functions:
Solvent Recovery
The distillation unit achieves solvent recovery by heating the liquid mixture, allowing the volatile solvents to evaporate, and then condensing them back into a liquid form for reuse. This helps reduce solvent waste in the production process, saving costs and reducing environmental impact.
Quality Improvement
By recycling and reusing solvents, the distillation unit helps maintain and enhance the quality of paints, inks, or coatings. Recovered solvents are often more stable and consistent than new solvents, contributing to production consistency.
Environmentally Friendly
By reducing emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), solvent distillation units contribute to lowering air and environmental pollution. This helps companies comply with environmental regulations and enhances sustainability.
Cost Savings
By recovering solvents, businesses can save on the cost of purchasing new solvents and reduce expenses associated with waste disposal and treatment. This improves the cost-effectiveness of production.
In summary, the role of a diluent solvent reclaimer is to recover and reuse solvents in industrial production, thereby reducing waste, improving quality, minimizing environmental impact, and saving costs.
