Ask The Experts: Bluewater Labs Automated Screen Cleaning Machines

Nothing slows down a busy print shop quite like screens backing up in the reclaim room, waiting to be cleaned. While manual reclaiming is the backbone of many successful print shops, there's now an exciting, fast-track alternative that's changing everything.
In this "Ask the Experts" series, we're showcasing how our sister company, Bluewater Labs, is revolutionizing screen reclaiming with their automated machines that use Easiway's screen cleaning chemicals.

Key Benefits of Automated Bluewater Equipment
The transition to automated screen reclaiming delivers measurable improvements across every aspect of screen room operations.
Consistent Cleaning Results Every Time
Manual reclaiming introduces variables that automated systems eliminate entirely. Inconsistent chemical application, varying pressure levels, and subjective quality assessments all contribute to inconsistent results. Bluewater's automated systems apply the same precise process to every screen, ensuring that each one meets the same high standards regardless of when it's processed or who initiated the cleaning cycle.
Reduced Labor Costs and Processing Time
Screen reclaiming is labor-intensive work that pulls skilled employees away from value-added activities like press operation and quality control. Automated systems handle the time-consuming aspects of screen cleaning, allowing staff to focus on the variety of other areas they may be responsible for.
Enhanced Workplace Safety with Automated Chemical Handling
Automated systems contain chemical handling processes within enclosed systems, dramatically reducing exposure risks. This creates a safer work environment and reduces the potential for workplace injuries.
