It features an incremental washout unit (Plate Processor) and an external punch.
It is designed to process solvent-washable, polyester-backed, analogue and digital plates up to a size of 90 x 120 cm (36x48 inch) and thickness up to 7 mm (0.276 inches).
The standard version is equipped with a stress-accumulation early-warning-system and may be equipped with optional tools to enable remote-monitoring and remote-diagnostics.
Washout
- Washout unit with separate pre-wash section and pre-wash tank to prevent solvent contamination of the main washout solvent with black-layer.
- Important brushing system composed by:
- 2 pre-wash brushes (oscillating and rotating)
- 8 washout brushes (oscillating and rotating)
- 1 top cleaning brush (oscillating and rotating)
- 1 wiping brush (oscillating and rotating)
- 2 back cleaning brushes (rotating)
Washout
Solvent Management:
- New proprietary system for reliable solid content analysis results that ensure quality and properties of the solvent
- Automatic solvent replenishment system
- Customizable fresh solvent consumption control and management, throughout the system life cycle.
- Controllable fresh solvent flow regulation via touch screen
- Improved water cooling/heating helictical coil based system for efficient and reliable solvent temperature management
Washout
The new "3D Brush Motion" system offers soft starts which result in less mechanical vibrations and a much quieter operations, while granting consistent and repeatable washout speed, thanks to specifically designed servo drive motor sets.
The User has the ability to independently adjust the washout speed directly from the system touch screen and the unit will automatically synchronizes the brushes rotation and oscillation speed with the plate transfer speed set buy the user. Such innovation, makes sure that all brushes-bristles hit the plate, independently from its thickens, always at the same speed.
Additional Features
- Large rotating and tilting touch screen display
- Storage of up to 24 plate process parameters
- Customizable automatic solvent warmup cycle
- Automatic switch-off of the unit after the last plate is processed
- Plate processing Data-Recording-System
- Stress-Accumulation/Early-Warning-System
- Active component visualisation during the process
- Manual function to run the components separately (service only)
- Remote access (optional)
Encumbrance
The minimum distance from should be of 1.5 mt (59”)in front and at the rear and 1 mt (40”) to the sides.
The respect of the minimum distance from the walls is critical to allow sufficient space to the users and the engineers to be able to have access to the system in case of maintenance and repairs.
CE Certification
The equipment is designed and manufactured according to the EEC safety and health standards, as specified in the Type Examination Certificate No. MA19-0042548-01 (310) issued by IMQ spa – Via Quintiliano 43 – 20138 Milan ITALY, and on the basis of the verifications carried out according to the essential requirements of the Directive 2006/42/EC, the system respects and is in compliance with all the applicable points.
General Features
This PLC controlled, incremental processor is specifically designed for high quality digital and conventional photopolymer solvent-washable plates.
Modular
This unit can be used as core module to a fully automate Easy to Plate™ system.
One of the most important feature of the Easy to Plate™ is the modularity concept, in other words, each unit is an independent piece of equipment buyable separately with the possibility of being upgraded and attached to one other to compose an all-in-one automatic unit. This gives you two choices: buy the whole automatic line at once or amortize the investment and buy the different units over a longer time frame.
Solvent
It is designed to work in a standard “drum-to-drum” configuration where fresh solvent is supplied to the washout unit from a drum and the saturated dirty solvent is pumped from the unit to a recovery drum. It has been tested with conventional alternative solvents, with flashpoint above 62°C (144°F). The system's installation kit includes two Ø 16 mm - 5 mt solvent hoses with fittings, one level switch for the fresh solvent drum and another for the used solvent drum. Please note that if you intend to use your this system with permanently installed tanks, special level switches may be required.

Grounding
Compressed Air Supply
To perform to the best of its possibilities, the system requires a continuous and stable supply of compressed air at a pressure of at least 7 bar (101.5 psi) and not more than 10 bar (145 psi), with pressure dew point 3°C and max. residual intake oil content of < 0.01 mg/m3. Consider also an average consumption of 70 l/hr. The system installation kit includes a 5-meter - Ø 6mm air connecting pipe for push-in fitting.
Exhaust
The unit is equipped with a well-designed exhaust system that collect and conveys vapours and fumes from the different sections the machine and discharge them as quickly and silently as possible. The blower in the systems has sufficient power to vent the entire equipment when the tube supplied is connected directly to a vent hoods in the external wall or on the roof.
Duct connection: Ø 140 mm (5.5”) Airflow: 600-650 m3/h
Working Environment
The system should be installed in a clean, constant-temperature and constant-humidity pre-printing environment with a temperature between 18 and 26°C (64.4 and 78.8°F) and a non-condensing relative humidity in the range of 40 to 60%.
To maintain such environmental standards an efficient heating/cooling and ventilating system may be required.
