Can You Clean Glue Machinery Wash Water?

You most certainly can. All you need to do is collect the water then treat it with our Proco 416P which will separate the glue from the water. This can then be filtered through our Aspifloc filtration sacks and the clear water disposed or used for future cleaning or, if required, diluting the next treatment.

As the vast majority of this waste water is produced when cleaning machinery or application equipment it can be easily stored until a sufficient volume is available to undertake a treatment. This volume really depends upon the amount generally produced as some of our customers can produce in excess of 1000 litres per day and others less than 100 litres per week.

Many of our customers choose to use our Fusion 800 mixing tank which acts as both an 800 litre storage and mixing tank. This is definitely the best option for mixing as the Fusion has been designed precisely for mixing industrial water contaminated with glues or paint.
