Cleans printing press parts such as ink pans, ink containers, doctor blades and other parts with solvent or with alkaline water-based cleaners. During the washing operation, the parts are sprayed with solvent by spray pipes oscillating around their longitudinal axes. Very good cleaning results due to short spraying distance and a powerful washing pump. The solvent tank is separated from the washing chamber; hence emissions are considerably reduced. The machine can be adapted to various tasks with the appropriate accessories.
