Default Like making moonshine.

Just thought I'd share how we clean the used thinner at the shop. The first pic is just the control panel on the machine. The second pic shows the dirty thinner in the machine, a plastic liner gets put in before the thinner is added. Once the thinner is in the lid gets closed and the thinner is boiled at 200° Celsius ( that's 392° Fahrenheit for us Americans). After 8hrs the clean thinner has evaporated off and is collected in the container showed in the third pic. The fourth pic is of the clean thinner, we had to start getting liners from a different company and they give the thinner a blue tint but it doesn't affect anything. The last pic is of the liner with about 2" of rock hard paint solids. The process is alot like making moonshine but alot more flammable and with less profit.

Ouch.

That’s interesting. I would have figured that it might be like a centrifuge inside spinning all the impurities out. Learn something new every day. Thanks Mr. Goohoo

Way back when I used to do some painting I'd put used thinner in clear sealed containers, after sitting about a year or so you can pour off the "clean" thinner and reuse.

Nice set up Tim. I imagine it has already paid for itself a few times over by now.

Where I worked previously, we "refreshed" industrial sized units similar to that. They were able to clean 55 gallons ( a full drum ) of solvent at once.

That dried paint debris was a real joy to chip out.

I can only do 4 gallons at once. Didn't those machines have a liner?

No liner and they were big enough to crawl in. They were being refurbished in the late 1980s

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
