SWS-300 PRESS PARTS WASHER

TOTAL WASH SYSTEM

SWS 300 "No Pit" or “Shallow Pit” Press Parts Washing System

The PRI "Total Wash System" is an environmentally friendly parts washing system designed to lower your operating costs, and reduce your emissions and hazardous wastes. The system includes a parts washer, wash solvent recovery unit, storage tanks and the other equipment necessary to provide an automated low emissions "closed loop" wash and recovery system.

The PRI system cleans by using a four phase cycle including wash, rinse, recovery and dry. By using the penetrating action of the wash solvent, the ink coatings are removed and carried in suspension to the recovery unit. The recovery unit uses a distillation unit to separate the ink pigments from the cleaning agent in an automatically controlled cycle, insuring maximum recovery of the wash solvent.

All aspects of the washer and distillation unit performance are controlled and monitored by a Programmable Logic Controller. System activity is displayed on a screen for easy monitoring by an operator. The PLC control allows the wash and distillation system to run unattended and allows the operator to perform other duties while the unit is running.

The many benefits of this system include:

Safer than Hand Washing
     • No employee contact with liquids
     • Reduced respiratory exposure
     • No open containers of flammables

Environmentally Friendly
     • Lower VOC’s than hand washing or competitive wash units
     • Wash solvents are recycled on site
     • Reduces disposal volume

Cost Effective
     • Lower labor cost than hand washing
     • Less disposal cost
     • Reduces solvent inventories and purchases
     • Cleaner parts reduce press downtime

PRI washers can be used with many different wash solutions.
     • Flammable Solvents
     • Combustible Solvents
     • PRI's HCS Cleaning Agents

Each company has unique cleaning problems. PRI will work with you to determine the proper cleaning solution for your application.

Many firms run combinations of water and solvent based coatings and have problems getting all the parts to come clean. PRI developed HCS cleaning agents for these applications and when it is desired to reduce emissions to the lowest possible levels.

HCS benefits:
     • Non Flammable Cleaning Agent
     • Very Low Vapor Pressure Agent
     • Recoverable in a Distillation Unit
     • Cleans both Water and Solvent Based Coatings
     • No HAP's
     • Excels in wetting the surface, swelling the ink build-up, and carrying the dispersed material

Emissions from the system can be as low as .6 pounds per cycle when using HCS cleaning agents.
