Development of Modular Flexographic Recycling System

FY 2025-26 · 2026-01-05

Summary
Maratek will design and prototype a modular solvent recycling system to recover and purify solvents used in flexographic printing and packaging. The new-generation system combines advanced process monitoring, adaptive PLC control, & AI-based predictive maintenance to significantly improve solvent recovery efficiency & operational uptime. The prototype will be targeting recovery yields above 90% compared to current market levels of 80%. The integrated analytics will enable real-time optimization of distillation performance & provide continuous tracking of GHG reduction.

Description (French)
Maratek concevra et réalisera un prototype de système modulaire de recyclage des solvants afin de récupérer et de purifier les solvants utilisés dans l’impression flexographique et l’emballage. Ce système de nouvelle génération combine une surveillance avancée des processus, un contrôle PLC adaptatif et une maintenance prédictive assistée par IA pour améliorer considérablement l’efficacité de la récupération des solvants et la disponibilité opérationnelle. Le prototype visera des rendements de récupération supérieurs à 90 %, contre 80 % actuellement sur le marché. Les analyses intégrées permettront une optimisation en temps réel des performances de distillation et assureront un suivi continu de la réduction des GES.
