I will never understand why aerosol pallet adhesives are still being used by so many textile screen printers when much more economical and eco-friendly water-based adhesives are available.
Overspray on the floor and airborne adhesive particles easily inhaled by press operators, are just two of the obvious problems with aerosol adhesives.
However, now there is a solution. To combat these two problems, Tekmar has introduced the Target AV-1 Adhesive Vacuum.
The AV-1 is positioned under the pallet where it creates a vortex to draw airborne adhesive particles into a disposable filter.
Don’t you think that a disposable filter is a much better place for adhesive particles than the floor or an operator’s lungs?
There’s more about the AV-1 here on Tekmar’s web site. You could also can Stanley’s Calgary office at 1 800 661 1583 for more information.
