Alphasonics wins Global Green Award

UK-based Alphasonics was crowned winner of the Global Green Award at the Label Industry Global Awards held during Labelexpo Europe in Brussels, Belgium. 

With the judging panel citing the system’s low environmental impact as well as disposal and energy cost savings, the Trojan AS1000 beat stiff competition to pick up the award.

The AS1000 is a two-stage parts washing system utilizing ultrasound and aggressive spray nozzles which effectively remove ink contamination. The wash water is introduced to the process of flocculation to take ink pigments out of suspension and subsequently passed through a filtration unit. This process leaves a solid ink mass and clear water which can be reused in the system, saving energy and disposal costs. 

Managing director David Jones said: ‘We're absolutely thrilled to have been selected as the winners for this award. The system was the result of a long research and development program. For it to be recognized in this way gives me a great sense of pride in what we have and will strive to continually achieve at Alphasonics.’
