RAPID IMAGING (RI) 305 Digital Washer
The 305 DW (Digital Washer) represents the state-of-the-art of the washer units for medium size plates up to 36 x 48 inches (92 x 120 cm). The unit works with any kind of plate and is equipped with a unique system to process the digital plates. The 305 DW has two separate tanks for the solvent. One, which is dedicated to the pre-washer section, collects the solvent used to remove the mask layer of the digital plate.The other tank is for the washing section and is used only with non-contaminated solvent. The efficient movement of the brushes allows high speed in processing time and a perfect result for each plate.

 

  Processor:

  • Double and independent hydraulic system for the pre-washing section (to remove the layer) and for the wash-out of the plate.
  • Automatic plate washout and cleaning in line.
  • PLC controlled, 20 memory channels.
  • Routine maintenance program.
  • Easy-to use touch screen display.
  • Rotating brushes with oscillating movement in opposing directions.
  • Automatic pneumatic plate feed-in.
  • Rotating brushes gear driven.
  • Integrated heater- chiller for solvent temperature control.
  • Solid content measurement device and automatic solvent replenishment.
  • Integrated solvent fume extraction system.
  • Delivered with 2 pin bars and external punch.

 

  

The very first processor dedicated to digital and analog flexo plates

Features
Advantages
Pre-washer section, to remove the mask layer of the digital plate.
The solvent used during the pre-washer section is collected into a dedicated tank. The solvent for the washout section is non-contaminated by residue of layer and/or carbon.
Rotating brushes with oscillating movement in opposing directions.
The opposition of this particular movement of the brushes reduces the processing time and eliminates any kind of movement of the plate when in contact with the brushes. This ensures a perfect and stable position of the plate, thus optimizing the mechanical action of the brushes and making the whole process reach a higher speed.
A simple locking system allows the removal of the brushes without requiring any kind of tool.

Easy and immediate access to the brushes, simplifying maintenance and cleaning operations.
Integrated solvent density meter in the unit's hydraulic circuit.
This device measures the percentage of polymer present in the washing solvent, topping it off with fresh solvent when the values exceed the setup values. As a result the machine always works with clean solvent, thereby obtaining greater accuracy in the process, producing an excellent result.
