Polymount Printing Plate Cleaner, Twinlock Sticky Plate
How much time do you spend on cleaning printing plates, are the plates really clean? With the Polymount Printing Plate Cleaner you can automatically clean dirty printing plates. The plate cleaner flushes, brushes and dries the plates, resulting in a perfectly clean plate surface. With the unique Twinlock Sticky Plate system, plates are held firmly in place during washing and drying. The cleaning process completes the cycle of l M2 in approximately 5-10 minutes. After washing, the plates can be stored immediately. All you do is hit a button and your plates are cleaned automatically.
After printing, you mount your dirty printing plates on the Twinlock Sticky Plate. The size of the sticky plate is 820mm x 1250mm. You simply insert the sticky plate into the machine where a transport system takes over. The first station is a flush system that sprays the (water based) cleaner on the printing plates. The cleaner begins to dissolve the ink on the printing plate. Then a very soft, fine haired, brush cleans the plate. Directly after washing, the in-line drying section finishes the process. The sticky plate will emerge from the machine when the cycle is completed, bringing perfectly cleaned printing plates. The Polymount Plate Cleaner is economical and very environmentally friendly
The plate cleaner contains a tank holding 125 liters of water based cleaner. This cleaner is constantly re-used in a closed circulation system. A unique combination of filters and a cascade system in the tank makes sure that the cleanest solution is always used for washing the plates. The cleaning solution is especially developed for this machine enabling the operator to clean large amounts of printing plates. After having washed thousands of sqm on a tank, the container can be removed and emptied by re-connecting a valve, pumping the dirty detergent into a waste barrel. The Polymount Plate Cleaner is the first automated plate cleaner, that flushes, brushes and dries the plate in one production cycle. By utilising the unique way of mounting and transporting the dirty plates, it is the fastest and most user friendly automated plate cleaner in the market today.
Polymount Plate Cleaner XL
Last year we introduced the Polymount Plate Cleaner, and as result of its great success we have now developed a bigger size machine offering a greater wash capacity. The operating width on the normal machine is 820 mm. The new bigger plate cleaner cleans up to 1200 mm wide. The sticky plate on this machine has a standard length of 2000 mm. We named this machine the Polymount Plate Cleaner XL. We have so far installed two XL machines in Germany and one in Turkey. The cleaning capacity of this machine is up to 100 M2 per 8 hour shift.
With over 30 plate cleaners sold all over Europe the plate cleaner is an enormous success. Some customers have mentioned a pay back time of 3-6 months, because cleaning by hand causes plate damage. With the Polymount Plate Cleaner plate damage is history.
