Cleaning flexographic printing plates after a press run and prior to storage can quickly become a bottleneck, eventually piling up and lead to a labor intensive and undesirable job to accomplish manually.
Left uncleaned, plates can be damaged or offer poor print results in subsequent press runs. With APR's line of Automatic Plate Washers, this task can be completed in a timely manner as the plates are stripped from the print cylinder with much less labor. The cost of photopolymer plates is significant, with proper cleaning and care, these plates can last for many press runs and millions of impressions.
