DIY Screen Printing Tip: Solids Trap UPDATE!

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ต.ค. 2024
- Yo! I'm back at the Solids Trap to answer your questions!
If you've ever worried about how much crap you're putting down the drain you might have looked up some fancy filter systems like the one we have here from Ryonet, but it doesn't have to cost much to avoid all the biggest and worst solids making it into your drains.
Just like the last video, this is more of a public service announcement for screen printers to think about how simple this is to make and then ask yourself why you don't have one already! It's just a general sense of respect and community we should have. Simple as that.
Once you see this setup you'll realize that it's literally a hole in a bucket and some PVC pipe. And that's why our water inspector was so impressed. He told me he had never had a print shop pass their inspection on the first try, and we did it with a friggen' bucket. So seriously, rig this up!
Hope this helps someone! Remember, use your wits and not your wallet.
Respecting your community water system and the environment in general starts with an attitude adjustment, not a big budget.
Alright, thanks again for tuning in, I really appreciate it!!!

I had to go back and watch your first video.
The first video shows it a lot deeper! Here's the link for anyone else wondering: th-cam.com/video/cnLR9VOtb1Y/w-d-xo.html
Such a great idea! I'm adding this step of removing solids first, so that my tiny blue filter stops getting clogged all the time.
Tara Monster Makes it’s perfect for that!
Kudos on your philosophy !!
Thanks for tuning in!
@@CoryFloodwayPrintCo You are one of a few, who actually explain how to clean the waste in the water and in a pretty economical way, no 3K or 5K filtration tanks etc. Keep up the great work !!
Great video, just subscribed, looking forward to more.
MUCH APPRECIATED! Definitely got some more coming. I'm a little behind on the Improvement videos so I'm gunna get those out this week!
Hey Cory great reasoning behind your actions.
Thank you!
Great video, I look forward to making this
Thanks man. Get in there it’s pretty simple!
I ordered my sump pump today and got buckets yesterday. Looking forward to the extra level to keep the environment safe. Thanks again got sharing
Great video! and Great process!
Thank you! Simple stuff like this goes a longggg way. Just less messing around with replaceable filters, less clogged sink, water flows better which makes reclaim simpler, the list goes on!
The beer part made me laugh so hard!
Damn we can be dumb sometimes ...
Haha yeah who would have thought it could ferment more than it already has 😹
Awesome video. Keep them coming :)
Thanks Brayden, will do!
Have you ever tought of adding a second solid trap (lower down than the first one) in front of your Ryonet system ?
You could get the pipe of the first gowing vertically down at a couple of inches of the bottom and allow only top water back to the Ryonet system.
You might catch a little bit more stuff and expend duration of the ryonet system before cleaning.
This 5gal bucket IS in front of the Ryonet box. I have seen multi-stage solids traps but I wouldn’t want to implement anything harder to clean than this. The Ryonet box is great but in my opinion it needs a solids trap in front of it most definitely.
@@CoryFloodwayPrintCo I meant between the first solid trap and the ryonet. But I can see that another step would add a cleaning step, but if it can help you clean the ryonet even less offten. Idk.
what kind of company does the draining?
I haven’t had to drop anything off yet. I let the sludge solidify and it keeps shrinking, so I’ve yet to fill a 5gal bucket of it yet. But any standard waste removal company can handle this stuff there’s nothing too special about it. Just want to make sure it doesn’t go straight to landfill at least since we’ve went through the trouble to keep it out of the drain.
I’m going to make an update video soon. Believe it or not I haven’t had to clean the system out since making this video.
Just letting you know I work at my local paint recycler dried sludge just goes directly to landfill. Anything else just re-sealed in a paint can for sold for a cheap price to poor countries
Yep, that's the point. Instead of clogging our drains and burdening the treatment plant we keep solids out of that system completely.
@@CoryFloodwayPrintCo also I should mention we are working on a way to repurpose the sludge/ dried paint/ink
The solids legally can be thrown in trash which is exactly what the disposal company will do with it. It's non haz and dry.
Thank you! We've got a couple pucks to get rid of soon.
