Fully Automatic PS Plate Processor Machine CTP Plate Processor High Efficiency

The plate processor is a special supporting cleaning equipment for printing plate making, suitable for integrated operations of automatic developing, rinsing, gumming and drying of CTP plates and PS plates. The equipment operates stably, processes plates evenly and produces clean plate surfaces, effectively removing residual chemicals and impurities from the plates to ensure complete dots and clear graphics and texts. With high automation, simple operation, energy saving and environmental protection, it is suitable for batch continuous plate making production in small and large printing factories and plate making centers.

Core Product Features

1. Fully Automatic Integration, Time-Saving and High-Efficiency: Integrates developing, water washing, gumming and drying into one, with full-process automatic operation, no need for repeated manual operations, greatly improving plate making efficiency and adapting to large-batch continuous production.

2. Even Plate Processing, High Plate Making Precision: Uniform spraying, stable plate running and constant pressure effectively restore fine dots without dot loss or plate pasting. The plate surface is clean without residues, ensuring high-quality printing plate making effects.

3. Stable Operation, Low Failure Rate: The whole machine has a solid structure and durable core accessories, with smooth plate running without jamming or deviation. It runs stably during long-term continuous work, suitable for high-frequency production in factories.

4. Energy and Water Saving, Environmental Protection and Cost Reduction: The water circulation filtration design reduces the waste of chemicals and water resources; the constant temperature control system consumes less energy, reducing long-term production consumable and electricity costs.

5. Simple Operation, Convenient Maintenance: Equipped with an intelligent control panel, parameters are adjustable and start-stop is one-click; the machine body has a detachable cleaning structure, making daily maintenance simple and cleaning convenient, reducing downtime.

How to choose:

1. Selection by Plate Type: For CTP plate making, give priority to CTP special plate processors; for traditional plate making, choose PS plate universal plate processors.

2. Selection by Production Output: For small-batch proofing, select conventional small models; for large-batch continuous production in factories, choose high-speed fully automatic models.

3. Selection by Plate Size: Match the corresponding model specifications according to the maximum width of commonly used plates to avoid incomplete plate rinsing.

4. Selection by Stability Requirements: For long-term high-frequency production, prioritize high-configured models with water circulation filtration, constant temperature stability and anti-jamming functions.

How to use:

1. Pre-Startup Inspection: Check the water tank level, chemical concentration, nozzle and roller status to ensure the equipment is clean and free of impurities.

2. Startup and Preheating: Connect the power supply to start the equipment, preheat it, and adjust the temperature, plate running speed and spray pressure to the standard parameters.

3. Plate Feeding and Processing: Smoothly feed the exposed plates into the plate inlet, and the equipment automatically completes the processes of developing, rinsing, gumming and drying.

4. Post-Processing Inspection: After plate output, check the clarity and cleanliness of graphics and texts on the plate surface, and fine-tune the parameters to ensure uniform plate making quality.

5. Shutdown and Cleaning: After the operation is completed, empty the residual liquid, clean the nozzles and rollers, keep the equipment clean, turn off the power supply and store the equipment properly.

Q1: Incomplete plate development, residual glue/dirty spots

Cause: Low temperature, too fast speed, insufficient chemical concentration, blocked brush/cartridge.

Solution: Raise the temperature to 22–25°C, reduce the speed, replenish the developer concentrate in proportion, and clean or replace the brush and cartridge.

Q2: Plate surface gets dirty, printing gets dirty

Cause: Incomplete water washing, low protective glue concentration, incomplete dirt removal, residual chemical crystallization.

Solution: Strengthen secondary water washing, increase the glue concentration, standardize the dirt removal process, and regularly clean the chemical tank crystallization with oxalic acid.

Q3: Plate jamming, plate running deviation

Cause: Uneven rubber roller pressure, worn transmission parts, inclined plate feeding, damaged plate edges.

Solution: Adjust the rubber roller pressure, replace aging rubber rollers, standardize plate feeding operations, and check the plate quality.

Q4: Fast developer consumption, short service life

Cause: Too high replenishment rate, large temperature fluctuation, invalid circulation filtration, too many impurities brought in by plates.

Solution: Reduce the automatic replenishment amount, stabilize the temperature, clean or replace the cartridge, and keep the plates clean.

Q5: Insufficient drying, water marks on the plate surface

Cause: Low hot air temperature, insufficient wind speed, poor water squeezing effect of rubber rollers.

Solution: Increase the drying temperature (55–65°C), check the fan, and adjust the pressure of the water squeezing rubber rollers.

Q6: Equipment alarm (low liquid level/overtemperature)

Cause: Insufficient liquid level, heating tube failure, sensor malfunction.

Solution: Replenish the liquid, check the heating elements, and calibrate or replace the sensor.
