Revolutionize Your Screen Reclaim Process
The Autoblaster/ARS is a cutting-edge automated screen reclaiming machine engineered for maximum safety, efficiency, and consistency. Designed to eliminate the risks and challenges associated with traditional hand-held pressure washing, the Autoblaster/ARS helps screen printing operations reclaim screens faster and more effectively—saving time, reducing labor, and improving results.
Why Choose the Autoblaster/ARS?
- Enhances Worker Safety: Eliminates the need for hand-held pressure washers, protecting operators from harmful chemical exposure and overspray.
- Boosts Productivity: Consistent reclaiming quality means fewer reworks and less operator fatigue.
- Cost-Effective Automation: Reduces chemical use and labor costs while maintaining high reclaim quality.
- Reliable Results: Delivers uniform screen cleaning every time, ensuring optimal performance for your next print run.
Engineered for Precision and Performance
The Autoblaster/ARS is optimized for 25" x 36" screen frames, a common size in the textile screen printing industry. With a conveyor-driven system operating at a steady 1 inch per second, screens are automatically guided through a powerful dual-sided high-pressure water jet system. This thorough and consistent cleaning mechanism significantly reduces the need for manual scrubbing or repeated washing.
- Hydraulic Power System: Adjustable pressure settings to fine-tune cleaning performance.
- Illuminated Inspection Station: Easily inspect screens immediately after cleaning for quality assurance.
- Durable Construction: Includes a stainless steel sump and automatic pump-out system for water and waste management.
Cleaner Screens with Fewer Chemicals
While emulsion remover and dehazer are still part of the process, the superior cleaning capability of the Autoblaster/ARS minimizes their usage—reducing operational costs and environmental impact.
Optimized Screen Reclaim Workflow
Step-by-Step Process Using the Autoblaster/ARS:
- Card off excess ink at the press and remove frame tape.
- Apply emulsion remover and allow a 30-second dwell time.
- Place the screen on the Autoblaster/ARS conveyor belt.
- Inspect screen after cleaning. If ghost images persist:
- Apply liquid haze remover, brush onto the ink well side, and allow to dwell.
- Re-run the screen through the Autoblaster/ARS.
- Wastewater and solids are collected and automatically pumped to your designated discharge point.
Smart Wastewater Management Options
To support varying production volumes, we offer two reclaim water filtration solutions:
- Low to Medium Volume (up to 20 screens/day): CFS3 Manual Solids Filter System
- High Volume (hundreds of screens/day): CMAFU-2 Automatic Solids Filtration System
