APARELHO DE LAVAGEM COM +AGUA A BAIXA PRESSAO E VOLUME ELEVADO E PROCESSO PARA LIMPAR E RECUPERAR MATRIZES

A printing screen cleaning and reclaiming apparatus comprises a cleaning device defining a cleaning and reclaiming path and a plurality of low pressure-high volume water washoff stations, in series, along the path. An ink degradent, an emulsion remover, and a degreaser are each applied successively along the path, and an ink removal station, an emulsion removal station, and a degreaser removal station are positioned successively along the path to provide the low pressure-high volume water washoff. Each station is capable of delivering washoff fluid to the screen of up to 20 feet in height and any length in the range of approximately 40-400 psi, and in the range of approximately 10-250 gallons per minute for efficient and inexpensive cleaning of the screen.
