Industrial High Pressure Washers for Screen Reclamation | Lawson

Choosing the Best High-Pressure Washer for Your Shop

A standard hardware store power washer often lacks the durability and specific PSI/GPM balance needed for daily screen printing reclamation. At Lawson, our High Pressure Washers are curated for the rigorous environment of a washout room.

Speeding up screen room throughput relies on efficient ink removal and emulsion stripping. Standard residential power washers lack the focused water pressure and heavy-duty duty cycles required to blow out tough photopolymer emulsions or stubborn ghost images without ripping delicate mesh. Sourcing an industrial high-pressure washer equips your screen printing reclamation station with calibrated PSI power, durable pump assemblies, and continuous operational reliability.

High-Pressure Washers: FAQ

What PSI is ideal for reclaiming screen printing frames?


For screen printing reclamation, a pressure washer operating between 1,400 PSI and 1,800 PSI provides the ideal balance. It offers enough force to completely strip emulsion and ink haze without damaging fine mesh threads or blowing out screen tension.

Can I use a standard hardware store pressure washer for screen printing?


While consumer pressure washers can work temporarily, they are not designed for continuous daily use in wet shop environments. Commercial screen printing pressure washers, such as the Lawson 1600 PSI Washer, feature industrial pumps built to endure continuous reclaiming cycles.

Should I use hot or cold water with my pressure washer when reclaiming screens?


Most commercial pressure washers are designed for cold water use, which is sufficient for stripping emulsion when combined with proper chemical dip tanks or stencil removers. Hot water can actually set certain emulsions or accelerate chemical evaporation prematurely.

How do I prevent ripping screen mesh while pressure washing?


To protect screen mesh, hold the spray wand nozzle at least 6 to 12 inches away from the screen surface and maintain a consistent 45-degree angle. Avoid holding the tip closer than 2 inches, especially on high mesh counts (230+ mesh).

Does Lawson provide replacement parts and spray wands for pressure washers?


Yes. Lawson Workhorse Group provides replacement spray wands, high-pressure hoses, tips, and technical support out of our distribution hubs in St. Louis, MO, and Atlanta, GA.
