Looks like its not well kept either, hard pass like most used equipment.

We have the InPro, should be similar to the Lotus Holland.  Works well, no serious issues and no complaints.  You do have to follow a schedule for adding chemical / changing filters and doing the whole changeover but when that is followed and it's cleaned up often it works very consistently.

We did change from rollers to statics with the same mesh since the emulsion would stick in the corners (and was bad on the auto coater in the corners).

Tell me more abt this.  We run roller frames primarily in 23x31 and do statics for 25x36 w. permanent blockout.

Ah, this makes more sense now.  I wasn't sure why that unit would be in high demand but it sounds like it got an overhaul.

As with all units. keep the chemistry balanced and the machine on a regular cleaning schedule based on mfgs or you may regret!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like it, but I like it for $15K, not $28k!
no idea if it's any good, but if it was cheap it would be a no brainer.

That depends if you have to send a screen through 4 times to get it clean.

looks like you still are de-inking and applying emulsion remover by hand.

seems like a "dishwasher for screens"

pressure washer in a box?

Kind of my thoughts, seemed like wouldn't be that effective.

Rhino Tech has something like that for around 11k I think. Basically a pressure washer in a box but I haven't heard any reviews on it.

Rhino Techs are made of polyproplene... i wouldnt trust it to last more than 5 years at the volume of screens we go through...

there is a lot to be said about pressure washers in a box if the price is right and they last long enough (5 years might be enough for some, but will not be enough for many).

Interesting, I would've thought Polypropylene would be the way to go since it won't wear out from chemicals. We have a Hydroblaster washout booth that was supposed to last forever that is so rusted and filled with holes, it'll likely collapse any day now lol. I won't buy a stainless washout booth ever again.
