SWS 300 "NO PIT" Wash 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 distillation to separate the ink pigments from the cleaning agent in an automatically controlled mode, 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.
