Our SolvaWash system is a clean and efficient. Setting-up for the next print job will become quicker and easier, and the solvent recirculation system will reduce waste and evaporation so you get more wash-up out of every drum of cleaner.

Glove Extensions

Glove Extensions for your Solva Wash-Up Unit
Gloves and extension come complete with your Solva Wash-Up Unit and are also available as a spare part.  Having a separate glove and gauntlet means;

• You don’t have to replace full length gloves each time
• You can adjust the overall reach into the wash-up unit by using more or less of the gauntlet length
• The generous diameter gauntlet allows more reach, flexibility and a roomy arm fit for most users

PVA Protective Gloves

PVA Wash-Up Gloves
PVA (Polyvinyl Alcohol) protective gloves are one of the only gloves suitable for handling strong organic solvents.  PVA gloves give maximum protection from solvent even with complete immersion, and are;

• Virtually inert in aromatic and chlorinated solvents
• A comfortable anatomical glove with pre-curved fingers and winged thumb,
  making it easier to manipulate small printer parts and less tiring to wear
• Have a soft two-piece knitted liner to cushion the hand and absorbs perspiration
• Are antistatic according to EN1149, and testing compliant to AS/NZS 2161

PVA gloves are highly effective against organic chemicals, such as chlorinated solvents and aromatic compounds, making them excellent hand protection for your solvent wash-up unit.

The good oil from our trade print room

• We wipe excess ink from printer parts before wash-up. This gives us between two and three months use from each drum of Solva Wash.
• We use a recirculating parts wash up unit design specifically for washing printer parts with solvent solution. It eliminates splashing, reduces fumes and cuts wash-up time dramatically. We wouldn’t be without our Solva Wash-Up Unit!
