After printing, remove the excess of ink with a spatula.
Apply diluted VARIOWASH 4373 with a brush or sponge, on both sides of the stencil, covering all the dirty areas. Brush gently to help dissolving thicker layers of ink. Use a brush soaked with excess of product. Return the contaminated product to a tank, for recirculation and future recycling.
After removing all ink residues, wash with water (preferably with high pressure water).
To decoat the emulsion, use HB 50 Emulsion removers (strippers) or VARIOSTRIP 9228, according to the instructions on the technical information manuals.
AUTOMATIC PROCESS:
Operate the automatic cleaning equipment according to the instructions provided by the manufacturer.
Verify often the condition, level and cleanliness of the diluted VARIOWASH 4373 in the tank, and the functionality of the system in order to assure a constant efficiency.
RECYCLING:
From time to time, drain the full content of the tank to a separate reservoir, add 1% of flocculant VARIOFLOC 0092 and mix.
