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.
