company videos always seem to fade out as the screen is exiting if you know what I mean.
If there's one thing I've learned in screen cleaning is that ink (of any type) removal requires physical abrasion and not
just chemicals being shot at it. IE the new M&R squeegee clean thing is a non-starter.
The benefit of automated screen cleaning is super obvious, maybe directly in line after automated printing, but it
would have to be "put dirty screen in one end retrieve completely clean screen from other".

Most screens come out needing zero done to them, totally perfect. Small percentage will require a quick touch up by hand, talking seconds, this only generally happens if too much ink is left in the screen or some tape is left on the screen that blows off onto the screen. Beyond that we've had great results.
My guess is the reason you don't see videos of these things of a dirty screen going in and the same dirty screen coming out now clean is that's about a 10 minute ride or something through the thing. Would be a long video. But I agree, they all could do a better job showing that in some way, maybe speeding up the video in the middle or something.
Evo:
Interesting that it's all HDPE (or is that polypro?).
Does it degrease and dry as well? We have an IT machine that spits out coat-able screens.

I am not sure which it's made of.
Yes it dry's as well, I wouldn't say they are coming out 1000% dry but they are pretty dry.
TCT:
We have one as well, not as extensive as the one in the pic, but we don't need it to take plastisol ink off so they made them a bit different. We have 2 units and love them. We are lucky enough to be like 45min from the factory so they have tested a few things out here. Also shot a lot of video, it is odd there is not video of them out there. Either way, I 100% recommend them. The people at the company and support(not just Alex) has been awesome!

Worth noting Alex came from M&R and was there when service/part availability was impeccable. So he gets it.
