RAPID IMAGING (RI) 505 DW-XP
505 DW-XP is the first processor in the world that combines the revolutionary features of RI 505 DW and the 505 XP. This unique unit can wash plates in batch or incremetal (in-line) mode processing digital or conventional flexo plates up to 132x203cm (52x80”). Equipped with the pre-wash "DW" system that removes and separates the black mask layer. This processor has also been designed for low maintenance and ease of use. Washout brushes can be removed in a few seconds without any tools. Brushes are gear driven, solvent saturation is automatically controlled and regulated. All operations are made via color touch screen, software includes maintenance program.

  Processor:

  • Processing system in batch or in-line (incremental) mode
  • 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 and rotating movement in opposing directions
  • Unique brush locking system for easy maintenance
  • Automatic pneumatic plate feed-in with safety lock
  • Integrated heater- chiller for solvent temperature control
  • Integrated solvent saturation analyzer and automatic solvent replenishment
  • Continuous solvent fume exhaust system
  • Delivered with 4 pin bars and external punch

Features
Advantages
Batch mode.
The plate is completely processed at once, on its whole surface, optimizing the processing time of each single plate.
In-line mode.
The plates are processed continuously, one after the other, optimizing the production time for users who look for higher productivity and shorter processing time for plates of the same thickness.
Pre-washer section, to remove the 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 and cylindrical 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 itself 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.
Automatic cleaning cycles.
Different cleaning cycles are automatically performed to ensure consistent quality, such as: cleaning the wiping brushes after every plate is processed, cleaning when turning off the unit, circulation of solvent in stand-by to keep the bushes "ready to use".
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.
