Pressroom Sustainability with Flexo Wash
As environmental regulations tighten and sustainability becomes a core business driver, pressrooms are under growing pressure to clean up their operations, both literally and figuratively.
Flexo Wash helps pressrooms meet these challenges with cleaning systems that support cleaner operations, more consistent results, and long-term cost savings.
Flexo Wash’s Recirculation Unit and Filtration Unit help reduce water usage, minimize waste, and make environmental compliance simpler and more achievable.
Cleaning Smarter: The Recirculation Unit
Flexo Wash's Recirculation Unit is designed to dramatically reduce water consumption during the cleaning process. Traditional cleaning systems often rely on a constant flow of fresh water, wasting resources and driving up utility costs. Flexo Wash flips this model on its head.
How it works:
- The system captures rinse water, filters it, and reuses it across multiple cleaning cycles
- This reduces wastewater generation by up to 80 percent
- It integrates easily with many existing Flexo Wash machines and requires minimal retrofitting
Why it matters:
By cutting water usage, pressrooms not only lower their operational costs but also reduce their environmental footprint. In a world where sustainable practices are increasingly scrutinized by regulators and buyers alike, this is more than just an upgrade. It is a strategic move.
Less Chemical Waste with the Filtration Unit
Managing spent cleaning fluids can be a costly and compliance-heavy task. Flexo Wash’s Filtration Unit helps reduce the frequency of fluid replacement and minimizes chemical waste disposal.
What it Does:
- Removes ink, varnish, and debris from used cleaning solutions
- Extends the usable life of cleaning liquids, reducing replacement frequency
- Lowers the volume of waste pressrooms need to handle or ship offsite
Even though chemical waste is already on most compliance radars, the Filtration Unit makes managing it easier and more efficient.
Compliance Made Easy
Flexo Wash systems are engineered to align with environmental best practices and help simplify day-to-day compliance tasks.
- Lower water usage means reduced discharge and easier permitting
- Less chemical turnover improves workplace safety and lowers liability
- Documentation and inspection processes become more straightforward with closed-loop systems
The result is less stress during audits and more time focused on production instead of paperwork.
