I got my Saati shipment today and refilled my dip tank.   The dip tank has ER2 and works really well.
I tested the Saati IR 26 and it works really well, according to instructions I dilute it 1:1 with water for ink removal and use the table method for ink removal, works really well.     I have a bottle of undiluted IR26 for removing haze.     
I have basically copied Greg Kitsons system, if it works well for him it should work well for me.   So far so good.

We only run one shift here 7-3:30 each day. There's a few key factors in our throughout of screens... The main guy doing all reclaim coating etc does not ever de ink or de tape screens. That is done before it gets to him which helps speed up the process. The next key factor is auto coating, he can coat 60 screens in approx 50 minutes from start to finish without fatiguing himself at all. And one last factor that keeps our screens rolling is having developing done in a completely different side of the shop which does not effect reclaim at all. My guy works a good pace but believe me he is never busting a sweat or moving real fast lol just nice and steady

That is still great numbers. Even with out the coating he is doing almost 20 screens an hour. Would love to see your setup.
