Screen printing hack of the day

<< < (2/3) > >>

Found another use for this , just printing 10K polypro bags with lots of errant threads , since its focused we have it blowing the threads off the bags , has worked excellent only have to stop about once every 700 so far.

Thats a great idea, I also use box fans but find it frustrating because box fans have a dead spot in their flow. Befor3e covid hit I was planning on building a redneck cool down station. using an old screen frame. Fill it with 140mm fans and a fan controller and power supply. Still may get to it some day. But of course that still requires a free station.

we were box fans as well , I'm not sure why I had never noticed these before but no going back now they work so well can print right after a flash when needed.

I'm surprised no company offers this as an option on their presses. 

There is already air in the arms / squeegee holders, seems like to add some holes on the bottom of the flood bar and a valve to turn air on wouldn't be that difficult.  Flip the valve to have air spray, and set your flood bar stroke speed.  Could even have the valve open and close so it's only spraying air while moving.

We have some copper "sprayers" that were built to use compressed air but have to have a separate air line hooked into them.  Also surprised Action doesn't make something like this or I'm missing it?

These are more for cool down that lint sprayers.  Also could use the air pressure to possibly make a vacuum that could vacuum up lint in a similar "attachment"

We don't have this issue much, but as we do more HSA, not having large enough presses for cool downs becomes more of an issue.  Who's gonna drill holes in their presses to prototype?

you crazy, you don't need the pallets to cool down for HSA!
