As the print industry shifts toward greater sustainability, reducing waste and cutting operational costs have never been more crucial. For businesses that depend on rinse water for their cleaning processes, managing consumption and disposal expenses can be a major challenge. That’s where the Flexo Wash Recirculation Unit comes in—a smart, eco-friendly solution designed to optimize rinse water usage while minimizing waste.
The Challenge: Rising Costs and Wastewater Issues
Many businesses face these common issues when it comes to rinse water management:
- Excess Water Consumption: Traditional cleaning units can use up to 700 gallons of water per 100 cycles.
- Wastewater Disposal Costs: For facilities unable to send wastewater to local drains, disposal becomes a costly task, often requiring frequent hauling.
- Environmental Concerns: As water conservation becomes a global priority, businesses are under increasing pressure to reduce their environmental footprint.
These challenges not only strain budgets but also impact sustainability goals. That’s where Flexo Wash’s Recirculation Unit comes in.
The Solution: Flexo Wash’s Recirculation Unit
The Flexo Wash Recirculation Unit is a game-changer for businesses that need to manage rinse water efficiently. Here’s how it works:
- Reuse Rinse Water: Instead of sending rinse water down the drain after a single cycle, the system captures, filters, and reuses it multiple times.
- Reduce Wastewater Volume: By filtering and recirculating water, the system reduces the total amount of wastewater that needs to be disposed of.
- Minimize Fresh Water Usage: With advanced filtration systems, the same water can be reused for up to 100 cycles, reducing the need for fresh water by up to 80%.
