Cleaning up: Finishing found out that whilst cleaning spray guns is not easy, there are solutions out there

摘要

Cleaning spray guns is not much fun, at least if you haven't got the right tools for the job. On top of this legislation means that you simply can't pour water, paint and solvent down the drain and not expect the Environment Agency to turn up at some point and fine you. Thankfully there are solutions out there, with one being the Swedish built Drester range of automatic spray gun cleaning machines. Sold exclusively through the company's UK distributor, Redashe Ltd who has been their partner for 30 years, the Drester Spray Gun Cleaning machines have steadily evolved since 1983 when the company was formed. Many of the improvements made were to functionality & design of the machines, but others that have come about due to the nature of and changes to paint, especially the increase in use of water-borne coatings which were first introduced in the mid-1990's at this time Drester was asked by several paint manufactures to design a machine capable of cleaning spray guns using waterborne paint while also dealing with the waste so as to limit the cost impact on customers who would then be using two paint types, as the waterborne waste becomes an inert non-hazardous material.
