DIY washout booth filter setups. Show me yours!

screenprintguy:
Here's a quick little video clip of ours shot several months ago, the room has changed a bit, but everything is the same for the most part.

Sump under the washout with a window screen to take out heavy stuff. Three drums with a weir in the first two. First drains to second, second to third, then everything drains through 2 micron filter bags in the third and pumped to the slop sink.

For those who want to know what Mooseman's setup looks like:

I like that idea. One concern is will it fit under/next to a washout booth with enough height to properly operate? Looks like Mooseman's line is coming from a whole floor above the tank?

ANOTHER idea...I have lots.
Run the grease trap as-is with inlet/oulet as designed. Solids will SINK as opposed to FLOAT if they were grease, which shouldn't matter in out scenario as the grease trap inlet baffles to the bottom of the tank and the outlet is up higher so it should naturally skim. THEN after the outlet add a filter media to further pull solids from the water if there are any left.

It does trap globs of crap, tape, etc that was going down the drain before. So it works so far for what we're doing. When I make some time, I'll try to do more with it.

Nice, I was wondering if a standard grease trap would work as-is. I think I'm going to buy this small one and do some sort of filter bucket after it to see what gets through.

I used a 30 gallon rubber maid deal.. Pretty heavy duty, bulges a little but it's nothing that concerns me.  Other than that, I followed pretty much like he did.

Haven't had to empty mine yet, but we are a low volume shop.
