Customized Wash Areas All FrontLoad units are customized according to customer specifications. This includes special racks and different types of high performance nozzles that are optimised for the specific application. Different Wash Area Layouts Tray Rail: Trays are placed in upright position. With side spray for optimised liquid flow over the parts. 2-Story: For various parts. Gives double wash area. Grid: All round solution for larger parts such as ink trays and chambers. Nozzles for buckets: Special for cleaning of ink buckets. A nozzle for each bucket is placed on the grid. Double Sliding Grid (PK EasyLoad only): For easier loading it is possible to equip the washing area with a double sliding grid, making it possible to load the inner part of the washing area first and afterwards the outer part. Trolley with Slide-in Grid: Choosing this option minimizes the handling of the parts. The parts can be loaded on the trolley at the press; driven to the Parts Washer and the grid with the parts on is slid into the cleaning unit. After finished cleaning process the grid with the parts is removed from the unit and the parts can be driven back to the press on the trolley. In this way the operator only needs to handle the parts once. Trolley for Washing 2 or 3 cylinders: This option makes it possible to clean up to 3 cylinders. This makes the machine multi functional: A cylinder cleaner and parts washer. PK 350 FrontLoad PK 300 ATEX FrontLoad PK 300 FrontLoad PK 300 Atex FrontLoad
Two Stage Closed Wash Cycle The Wash & Rinse (WR) Series offers a unique automatic two stage cleaning process with separate tanks, pumps and filters for wash and rinse: Wash liquid is sprayed on to the press parts at high pressure. After wash the liquid is drained back to the tank through filters for re-use. The parts are rinsed with liquid Not only does this give the best cleaning result but it also reduces the amount of cleaning liquid used. This saves energy for distillation process and money for new cleaning liquid.
ATEX certifications for Flexo Wash Equipment working with Solvents When cleaning with solvent, special precautions have to be taken in order to completely neutralize the risk of explosion or fire in the immediate area. Flexo Wash takes these precautions by delivering washing equipment according to the ATEX directive 94/9/EC intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. Inside the washing unit and tanks the unit will have ATEX zone 0. Around the unit will be ATEX zone 1. Hazard Description Product Requirement Zone 0 Explosive atmosphere is continuously present for long periods. Category I Zone 1 10 and 100 hours per year. Category II Zone 2 Less than 10 hours per year. (Zone 2 is often referred to as the remotely hazardous area.) Category III ATEX Approval Flexo Wash collaborates with notified bodies for approval of the equipment, ensuring that each unit is safe and lives up to the ATEX criteria.
Distillers All distillers perform a high output during fully automatic operation, which follows three steps: The solvent is automatically filled into the distiller from the dirty solvent tank. The process works continuously until all solvent has been distilled. Drainage of the viscous residue through valve - no cleaning necessary, the unit is immediately ready for the next operation.
