Acosgraf BACPRINT Auto Screen Wash Decoating Machine
Semi-automatic screen washing and decoating system engineered to clean ink and remove emulsion in a single cycle, featuring closed-loop chemical recirculation, high-pressure cleaning, touchscreen controls, and durable stainless steel construction.
Overview
The Acosgraf BACPRINT Auto Screen Wash Decoating Machine is a professional semi-automatic screen reclaiming system designed to streamline screen cleaning and emulsion removal in busy screen printing production environments. By combining screen washing and decoating into a single automated process, the BACPRINT AUTO TEXTILE helps reduce manual reclaiming labor while delivering consistent cleaning results from screen to screen.
Built entirely from high-quality stainless steel, the BACPRINT AUTO TEXTILE is designed for demanding production environments where screens are reclaimed on a regular basis. The system incorporates a high-pressure electric pump to provide the cleaning force needed to remove residual ink and strip emulsion from screen printing frames.
A key feature of the BACPRINT AUTO TEXTILE is its closed-loop chemical system. An internal tank with a capacity of up to approximately 300 liters stores and recirculates cleaning chemistry, allowing the solution to be reused through multiple cleaning cycles. This approach helps reduce chemical consumption and provides greater control over screen reclaiming costs compared with processes that continually consume fresh chemistry.
The machine is designed to reclaim screens used with a wide variety of common screen printing ink systems, including plastisol, water-based, solvent, and UV inks. Its versatility makes it suitable for textile, graphics, industrial, and other screen printing operations requiring an efficient screen reclaiming workflow.
A touchscreen control interface provides access to machine adjustments and production information, including programmable settings, speed adjustment, and cycle counters. The system is also capable of accommodating squeegees, floodbars, and other screen printing accessories when used with an appropriate custom holder.
