Why automatic plate cleaning<br />
// Save time & money<br />
The cleaning of the printing plates takes a lot of time during your production process. We asked<br />
some customer without an automatic plate cleaning system, how much of the yearly time they waste<br />
for washing.<br />
20-25% of the effective machine production time<br />
is used for cleaning.<br />
20-25%<br />
This means for example a production with 2 shift operation<br />
with 3000 h/year has 600-750 h/year only for cleaning, when<br />
the printing machine is not productive.<br />
// Why do I need to clean so often<br />
High volume of cleaning time<br />
There are 3 effective situations when a cleaning is necessary:<br />
• Cleaning after job set up due to dry ink<br />
• Cleaning after 3000-4000 sheets due to dust or dry ink<br />
• Final cleaning after the job<br />
// We can offer 2 solutions<br />
• Quick Plate Cleaner (QPC)<br />
The QPC is a machine integrated system which removes dry ink & dust spots without stopping the<br />
machine. A quick interim cleaning within 120 seconds is possible, with about 8-10 waste boards. A<br />
final cleaning is not possible.<br />
• Auto Clean System (ACS)<br />
The ACS is a machine integrated system which is able to make an interim cleaning within 6 minutes<br />
and a real final cleaning within 2 minutes with stopping the printing machine.
