Step 3 — Ready to Run
Used liquid is filtered and recirculated through the closed-loop system. Buckets exit clean after a final rinse cycle — immediately ready for reuse.
Bucket Wash
Less Downtime. Less Waste. Better Clean.
Manual ink bucket cleaning is slow, inconsistent, and keeps your team away from the press. Flexo Wash automates the entire process — so your buckets are ready before your next job is.
Manual Bucket Washing Is Costing You More Than You Think
Manual ink bucket cleaning is slow, inconsistent, and keeps your team away from the press. Flexo Wash automates the entire process — so your buckets are ready before your next job is.
In a flexo pressroom, ink buckets accumulate dried ink in curved walls, rims, and deep recesses that are nearly impossible to clean by hand — at least not quickly, and not consistently.
The result is wasted labor time, chemical overuse, inconsistent cleaning quality, and operators exposed to inks and solvents. Every minute spent scrubbing is a minute not spent running jobs.
- Slow manual scrubbing creates unpredictable downtime
- Dried ink in rims and cavities resists hand cleaning
- Inconsistent results lead to contamination risk
- Excess chemical use drives up cost and waste
- Operator exposure to inks and cleaning agents

Watch the Bucket Wash in Action
See how automated 360° spray technology removes dried ink completely — in a single, repeatable cycle.
How it works
How It Works Heading: From Dirty to Press-Ready in Minutes Subhead: A straightforward automated process: load, clean, reuse.
No scrubbing, no soaking, no guesswork.
Step 1 — Load
Place ink buckets securely over the precision spray nozzles inside the washing chamber. The system accommodates metal and plastic buckets of varying sizes.
Step 2 — Automated 360° Clean
Rotating nozzles deliver cleaning liquid to every corner, cavity, and curved surface — including rims and deep recesses where dried ink hides. No manual intervention needed.
Built for Efficiency. Designed for the Long Run.
Eliminate Downtime: Automated cleaning is dramatically faster than hand scrubbing. Buckets are press-ready within a single cycle, keeping your production schedule on track.
Consistent Results: Every bucket is cleaned to the same standard, every cycle. No variation, no missed spots, no contamination risk between ink changes.
Improved Operator: Safety Reduced direct contact with inks and cleaning chemicals means a safer working environment and lower liability exposure for your team.
Reduced Labor Cost: Free your operators from manual cleaning tasks. Less time on buckets means more time on press — a direct impact on your cost per job.
Sustainable by Design: The closed-loop filtration system recirculates cleaning liquid, extending its life and significantly reducing chemical consumption and waste output.
Modular & Scalable: Start with the standard PK ECO MAXI.NXT or build a custom system that cleans buckets, drums, trays, and doctor blade chambers in one automated process.
"Efficient cleaning. Less waste. A cleaner pressroom and planet."
