Manufacturers of solvent distillation, automatic wash system & waste minimization. We offer solvent distillation & part wash system with short production run for cost efficiency. With shorter production runs and more color changes comes a need to wash more press parts, quicker and at a cost savings.
The answer is on-press flushing or multiple stations, off press cleaning, interfaced with in-house waste minimization.
I would like to introduce your company to the advantage of SRS Engineering, Corp. SRS designs and manufactures automatic wash systems and solvent distillation systems.
Having been a Product Manager to the Converting Market for over 15 years and now associated with SRS, I am in a position to compare the advantages of the design criteria that makes SRS the preferred supplier of wash and distillation systems to the converting market.
On press cleaning generates waste solvents. Typically, as much as 6 gallons per deck or station, per color change, is generated. In-house recovery, at $ .06 per gallon, minimizes waste disposal and reduces costs.
SRS provides waste minimization systems using distillation or filtration. These systems are interfaced to your flushing systems through stainless steel tanks for automatic operation or part of an off press wash system to provide a closed loop system.
SRS also provides automatic wash systems using heated water, detergents, common solvents and our new Alternative Solvents, MPC. Systems that minimize waste generation utilizing the technologies of filtration and distillation.
Systems that automatically wash, rinse, dry and minimize VOC exhaust.
- Auto wash systems for narrow web presses.
- Mid-Web presses. Auto wash systems that clean 4,6,8 stations per cycle.
- Wide-Web presses. Auto wash systems that clean 2,4,6,8 stations per cycle.
- Shorter cycles, more stations per cycles and increased cleaning efficiencies.
- Waste minimization systems that interface with off press cleaning systems.
Material of choice at SRS is stainless steel for appearance, long life and safety.
The PW-5 wash system is designed to wash multiple five gallon buckets and with a custom rack, narrow web press parts. 4~8 stations of parts, dependent upon web width, can be washed, rinsed, dried and the vapors minimized prior to exhaust, per cleaning cycle.
The MW series are designed to load press parts on custom carts and then placed within a closed and sealed chamber where the parts are washed, rinsed, dried and vapors minimized prior to exhausting the chamber. Depending upon web width, these models are designed to clean 2,4, 6, or even 8 stations per loading. Cleaning cycles can be anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes.
The primary washing is accomplished with cart mounted nozzles supplied by a 350 psi wash pump. Secondary washing is accomplished from oscillating wash headers mounted on the chamber walls and ceiling also supplied by 350 psi wash pumps.
The MW wash chambers vary from 5'x 6'x 8' to our largest to date of 8'x 8'x 12'.
All systems are manufactured of stainless steel and are designed to utilize wash solutions of water, detergents, flammable solvents and the our new Alternative Solvent, Acextra MPC.
Waste minimization systems, filtration or distillation, are interfaced with custom stainless steel combination wash and rinse tanks. The wash solution never gets too dirty to wash with, automatically. The SRH series of distillation systems are unique. They are PLC controlled with temperature sensing of Vapor, Oil and most importantly, Sludge or Residue temperature sensing. RDT temperature sensing of the residue is critical when distilling waste solvent containing Nitrocellulose. The systems are manufactured of stainless steel, in and out, even including the ladder. They utilize a 60 cone with the heating surface scraped. An automatic cool down system is available for safe removal of residue.
I would be pleased to provide a confidential assessment of your parts washing and solvent recovery needs.
