There are many great features that make the OSMECO Swiss precision built ecoCLEANER systems desirable in the clean-up of pad printing ink cups and accessories. One of the primary advantages of the ecoCLEANER series is that they activate and break down the pad printing inks and thinners at the sub-particle level and the water based ink remover (aka Cleaning Agent) is continually being filtered/ recycled and the waste ink particles (aka broken-down ink components) are separated and the rejuvenated cleaning agent can be used over and over again. Another new development that is now available, is the Automatic Changing of the natural filter medium/ Adsorber. OSMECO has now upgraded their technology in the 540AC and 740AC models so that there is no need for the operators to manually change the filter basket which was typically needed after 3 shifts of heavy use. Now it is done 100% automatically and the operators have little or no involvement in daily system maintenance. They now simply fill the large delivery tube with fresh Adsorber powder and the cleaning machine does the rest automatically. The spent or dirty Adsorber is deposited into a receiving tray that is easily accessible from the front of the unit (bottom right). This waste material can be safely disposed of in your local landfill as non-hazardous waste.*

*Note: This statement of claim is made with the supposition that you as the user are utilizing commercially approved and safe pad printing inks that are manufactured within the safety standards and regulations for North American consumption/ usage. Please consult with your local environmental expert/ consultant and/or appropriate regulatory agencies to be certain of your compliance with all local, state and federal laws before disposing of your broken down ink particles into a landfill.

The water-based cleaning agent (Ink Remover Agent MPC 200-1) has been formulated using low-hazardous and non-flammable components; yet it still safely performs the tough job of cleaning up solvent-based pad printing inks with ease! These innovative ecoCLEANER systems are used to clean up all of your typical pad printing accessories such as; ink cups, clichés or printing plates, cliché holders, doctor blade assemblies, etc. We even have special cup holding systems and nozzles for lightweight plastic bodied ink cups as are found on many TampoPrint machine models. This pad print cleaning systems work great with both 1 or 2 component ink systems (solvent based and UV inks too) and it can even remove completely hardened 2-component epoxy inks with a longer washing cycle. So now those expensive "ruined ink cups" can be put back into production and you can recoup your once lost investment.

This eco-friendly ecoCLEANER Series of cleaning systems utilize a state-of-the-art filtration system to break down the pad print inks various components (i.e.: their pigments, binders, resins, solvents, etc.) and it uses surface tension science to fully clean all of the residual inks and solvents from the ink cup and cliché surfaces. The water based Ink Remover Agent is continually pumped and sprayed onto the parts using 2 stationary jet bars (above and below the basket) and the basket is automatically rotated during the cleaning cycle to spray off the ink residue from the parts.

During the cleaning cycle the system is constantly moving dirty Ink Remover Agent through the filtration process. In the recycling mode the ecoCLEANER system filters and separates the broken down ink components from the (now) rejuvenated ink remover agent. From the control panel you can program the cleaning/ recycle time in the following values; 10, 20, 30 or 60 minute cycles (20 minute is typically enough). The beauty of this automatic filtration/ recycling process is that the water based ink remover agent is fully rejuvenated and the ink remover agent can be used on a continual basis with little replacement… thus consuming much less cleaner than traditional solvent based pad printing cleaning systems. Not to mention the fact that the cleaning agent is water based and non-explosive.

The Swiss built OSMECO ecoCLEANER systems are the ultimate green cleaning solution for your pad printing needs and furthermore it is far safer for your operators health and well-being vs using solvent based cleaning systems.
