GUN CLEANING
CLEAN AND GREEN
Unic offers cutting edge, environmentally friendly gun cleaning with low VOC non- flammable cleaning fluid to the latest inline filtration for gun wash extension.
Unic has created spray gun cleaning technology that is water-based and suitable for cleaning both solvent and water-based paints from spray guns.
This makes the machine much safer for use and a lot safer for the environment. The ergonomic designed Evo LV unit, fitted with the latest inline filtration, cleans both waterborne or solvent material from spray guns in the same tank using only one fluid. One 20 litre drum of EvoWash LV used in conjunction with the UnicEvo LV spray gun cleaner is efficient for up to 600 washes.
A powerful air operated, diaphragm pump delivers up to 17 ltrs/min with an air input pressure of 75-100 psi and consumes approx
4/7 cfm. This ensures a high volume of fluid is delivered through the spray jet nozzles and optimises the cleaning performance. The jets have been carefully positioned to give maximum cleaning efficiency in both automatic and manual wash mode.
Key benefits:
• One machine, one fluid for both solvent and water-based cleaning
• Approximately only 30 per cent emissions of normal cleaning solvents
• Used with water-based cleaning fluid which is non-flammable
• Safer to use, no harmful vapours and no air extraction required
• No fluid evaporation
• Automatic and manual wash facility
• Fully pneumatic

SAVE WASTE WITH AUTOWAVE SEPARATOR
AkzoNobel has introduced the only ecological waste saving technology on the market to help you with this responsible waste disposal.
By using Sikkens Autowave Separator in conjunction with Sikkens Autowave Guncleaner you can reduce your liquid water-based waste by up to 75%, saving you money on organised disposal.
Maintaining good spray gun hygiene is an important factor for the efficient running of your paint shop. As part of the Autowave 2.0 System, the Guncleaner is the best way to flush out any particles of paint from your gun, making sure all lines are clean and ready for the next project. Now what to do with that waste?
Autowave Separator is easy to use and
provides an environmentally friendly way to
separate water-based paint by-products, via
coagulation, from the contaminated spray gun
cleaning solution. The coagulation process is
achieved by adding 1% to 1.5% of Autowave Separator powder to your contaminated Autowave Guncleaner, stirring thoroughly and leaving it overnight. The next day, the paint particles will have formed a solid mass and become separated from the liquid Guncleaner solution. This solid paint matter can then be disposed of according to local regulations.
The Autowave Guncleaner solution can then be reused up to three more times, saving you money on product. This product works with most available waterborne cleaning equipment.
Contact your local Sikkens Representative for more information.
