Sustainability and cost efficiency are top priorities for businesses in the print industry. As companies look for ways to reduce waste, lower disposal costs, and optimize cleaning processes, the Flexo Wash Filtration Unit emerges as a game-changing solution. Designed to prolong the lifespan of cleaning liquids while minimizing waste, this innovative system helps businesses cut ink disposal costs in half—all while keeping cleaning performance at its peak. 

The Challenge: Excess Liquid Waste & Rising Disposal Costs

Many businesses struggle with managing liquid waste from their cleaning processes. Common issues include: 

  • More Liquid Consumption – Without a proper filtration system, cleaning liquid gets contaminated quickly, leading to frequent replacements and increased costs. 
  • Ink Waste Disposal Expenses – Disposing of liquid ink waste can be expensive, especially for companies with strict environmental regulations. 
  • Environmental Impact – The more cleaning liquid that gets discarded, the larger the ecological footprint, making it harder for businesses to meet sustainability goals. 

The Solution: Flexo Wash’s Filtration Unit

The Flexo Wash Filtration Unit is engineered to separate ink residues from cleaning liquids, making it possible to reuse the liquid multiple times before disposal. This not only extends the liquid’s lifespan but also dramatically reduces the amount of liquid waste generated. 

How It Works

  1. Automatic Filtration – The system pumps contaminated liquid from the wash tank into the Filtration Unit at the push of a button. 
  2. Ink Residue Removal – The filtration process separates ink particles from the liquid, ensuring it remains clean for further use. 
  3. Solid Waste Formation – Instead of liquid waste, ink particles are transformed into dry powder, which is easier and more cost-effective to dispose of. 
  4. Reuse & Reduce – The clean liquid is returned to the wash unit, extending its usage and cutting ink waste in half. 

Compatible with Multiple Systems

The Filtration Unit seamlessly integrates with the following Flexo Wash cleaning systems: 

  • Plate Washers
  • Screen Washers
  • Label Industry Parts Washers (PK ECO and TopLoad-Series)

Key Benefits for Your Business

1.   Reduce Waste & Lower Costs

  • Halve Ink Waste Disposal Costs – With less liquid waste to dispose of, you can significantly cut waste removal expenses.
  • Extended Liquid Lifespan – Reusing filtered liquid means purchasing less cleaning solution over time.

2.   Enhance Sustainability
