INPRO 120-3 (Tigerclean TC120-3)

Brand: INPRO | Subcategory: Modular Cleaning Machine

The INPRO Tigerclean TC120-3 is INPRO's latest 4th-generation inline automated screen reclaiming line. The system is exceptionally cost-effective for medium-sized and growing print shops processing from just 10 to 20 screens per day, while easily scaling up to industrial volumes of over 300 screens daily. Thanks to the generous 120 cm (47") pass-through height, standard 60 x 80 cm screen frames can also be stacked vertically (two high), instantly doubling throughput per wash cycle! The system comprises 3 completely separated modules: (1) Ink removal & degreasing, (2) Emulsion stripping/decoating, and (3) High-pressure rinse & drying. By utilizing INPRO's patented double brush technology and liquid spray bars instead of prone-to-clog nozzles in chemical stages, nozzle blockages and ghost images are minimized.

Key Benefits & USPs

🎯Nozzle-free chemical technology: No clogged nozzles thanks to the advanced double brush system in ink and stripper stages.
⚡Closed-loop chemical filtration: Integrated multi-stage filtration dramatically reduces chemical consumption and waste.
🚀Cost-effective from 10 screens & stackable: Profitable from 10-20 screens per day. Standard 60 x 80 cm screens can be stacked to double capacity up to 300+ screens/day.

Why choose the INPRO 120-3 (Tigerclean TC120-3)?

The INPRO Tigerclean TC120-3 represents the pinnacle of 4th-generation inline automated screen reclaiming technology, drawing upon over 25 years of specialized engineering by INPRO.

Cost-Effective from Just 10 Screens per Day

Many print shops believe an automated in-line reclaiming line is only accessible for massive volumes starting from 50 or 100 screens per day. In reality, our customers achieve substantial savings and rapid ROI with as few as 10 to 20 screens per day. By eliminating manual pressure washing and scrubbing labor, drastically cutting chemistry usage through closed-loop filtration, and establishing a vapor-free workspace, the system pays for itself quickly even at medium volumes.

Double Capacity by Stacking Standard 60 x 80 cm Frames

With a generous pass-through height of 120 cm (47“), the TC120-3 provides a major operational advantage: standard 60 x 80 cm textile frames can be placed vertically two high (stacked) through the machine. This immediately doubles the number of clean screens per hour in the exact same cycle time, effortlessly handling peak workloads up to 300+ screens daily.

Three Dedicated Modules for Ultimate Purity

The process is engineered across three isolated process chambers:

  1. Module 1 – Ink Removal & Degreasing: Heavy-duty rotating brushes and chemical deluge bars break down and wash away inks without any prone-to-clog spray nozzles.
  2. Module 2 – Emulsion Decoating (Stripping): Applies stencil remover evenly with vigorous brush agitation to completely break down photopolymer or diazo emulsions.
  3. Module 3 – High-Pressure Washout & Drying: Blasts screens crystal-clean from both sides under high water pressure and squeegee-dries the mesh immediately with specialized rubber wiping blades.
  • Fully integrated in-line workflow: ink removal, degreasing, decoating, high-pressure rinse, and drying.
  • Accessible volume: highly profitable and efficient starting from 10 to 20 screens per day, scaling up to 300+ screens.
  • Double throughput by stacking: 120 cm screen height allows stacking two standard 60 x 80 cm frames simultaneously.
  • Complete physical separation of cleaning modules to prevent chemical cross-contamination.
  • Elimination of spray nozzles in ink and decoating stages to prevent clogs and minimize ghost images.
  • Patented rotating double brush system combined with spray bars for optimal mechanical scrubbing action.
  • Integrated chemical filtration and recycling system for extended chemical lifespan.
  • Inclined tank bottoms and tool-free filter replacement for effortless routine maintenance.
  • Optional extensions available: extended infeed/outfeed belts, waste water pump, and ink repeat cycles.
  • Fully enclosed CE-compliant housing safe for installation directly within general production areas.

Frequently asked questions about INPRO

Standard spray nozzles in chemical ink removal and decoating sections clog frequently from dissolved ink polymers and emulsion residues. This leads to uneven cleaning, downtime, and ghost images. INPRO double brush system scrub frames actively while flood bars supply chemistry reliably without clogging.

Unlike common assumptions that in-line systems are only viable for large operations, the INPRO TC120-3 is already cost-effective and highly beneficial for print shops washing from 10 to 20 screens per day. It immediately reduces labor hours, chemicals, and water, while scaling effortlessly up to 300+ screens per day.

Yes! Thanks to the 120 cm (47") chamber height, standard 60 x 80 cm textile screen frames can be placed two high (stacked vertically) in the machine. This allows you to wash two screens simultaneously in a single pass, effectively doubling throughput capacity.

Each module operates on a dedicated closed circuit. Cleaning solutions pass continuously through multi-stage stainless steel filters to separate solid particles, preserving chemical efficacy and drastically reducing replenishment costs.

The 4th generation features full front and rear access doors, sloped tank bottoms for rapid sludge evacuation, and tool-free quick-release filter cartridges.

Available options include lengthened infeed and outfeed conveyors, automated sump/drain pumps, a secondary double-brush pack, and an automatic repeat cycle for extra heavy ink build-up.
