Shurloc squeegee clean

[Rockers]

This squeegee clean devise looks very neat. His anyone here tried it already. Even though $600 is a lot of cash for that beauty. Might give it a try and build one myself.

I built it for $40...no cranking, no locking the squeegee in.

2 broom heads with a PVC pipe with holes running down the middle.

I bought one at the ISS show with the condition they would make the holder work for the SRoque squeegees. They assured me they would have something for it. Even without the holder they were talking 5 weeks out for delivery.
 The cleaner is the slickest thing I have seen in a while. Kinda crazy no company had came out with a simple device like this yet. 1 thing they could make on it would be a drain pin or something, now apparently you need to un-screw the unit from what surface you have it secured to and dump it out. Also the "power" attachment for a drill seems like overkill. You would think with that much speed it would splash cleaner everywhere.
Still great idea, can't wait to get ours!

I have one on order also.

how much were they going for? do they work with plastisol and waterbased/discharge ink?

They are advertised on their website for US$600 now.

I'll take mine any day of the week, and for $560 less it's a better deal.

That`s what I think too.
We are a crafty bunch here so we might just build one that is based on the Shurloc but will cost us only 1/4 of their retail price. Put it on wheels so it can be stationed close to one our our presses.

That squeegee was clean before he put it through the machine!

I will build mine for you and sell them to you for $300.  Saves you half the money.  It works great and I save a ton of time with it.

Theirs looks great too, but for $600, I'll spend that elsewhere

But we will build ours for $150-$200 and it will look as good if not even better then the ShurLoc one.

I like the idea of yours, MUCH better than ones we had put together before! The one big selling point for me on the Shurloc one was the cleaner solution all was below the squeegee and brushes. This way you don't have to wear gloves, no ones hands have to come in contact with the cleaning chemicals. There is also no power or drain needed so it makes it easier to put places.
I am usually a big DIY'er(seriously considered welding up one of these puppies my self) but once I thought the time involved making a similar setup, finding right size plastic gears, ect. figured I would come out a head buying their set up. There was a handsome ISS show discount that helped with the decision

Thanks for the defense TCT!

[Rockers]

Don`t get me wrong here, I totally dig that squeegee clean but for $600+ shipping I`m almost forced to get the welding equipment out and try my luck. Of course a discount for overseas clients would make me think twice about spending time on DIY.

You do know that PVC pipe will melt if you pump most normal chemical through it right.. plastisol ink and PVC are brothers and break down with the same chemicals.

Yeah yeah I know.. you're using some green or beanedo solution and it hasn't melted on you yet.. others aren't so the machine you make has to work in all chemical ranges.

Neither yours nor the shur cleaner, both great inventive applications for sure, would not last a week here at the factory under heavy use conditions.
