Cutting Edge Wastewater-Recycling System based on Asahi Kasei Technology.
The AWP-LOOP™ system reduces the wastewater to only approximately 3 liters and maintains 70% of the water inside a closed-loop operation. This innovative solution is another milestone in water-wash platemaking and gives flexo platemaking operations more reasons to change to a Solvent ZERO platemaking environment.
AWP™-4260 PLF is an automated inline processor designed for AWP™-DEW, composed of an automatic punching device, a processor, a dryer and a light finisher. The machine without a light finisher unit is also available. It is designed to process waterwashable AWP™-DEW plates in two standard formats of 1200×900 mm (48×36 inches) or 1067×1524 mm (42×60 inches) with a thickness from 1,14 to 1,70 mm.
AWP™ water-wash technology delivers the smallest carbon footprint from cradle to grave when compared to alternative platemaking technologies.
For Flexo Plates with max. size 35×48 inch/90×120 cm
The new AWP™ 4835 P plate processor is designed for the challenging demand of the mid-sized label operation using a plate format of 90 x 120 cm / 35 x 48 inch. The processor is engineered to deliver a sustainable quality output with a fast plate access time. The AWP™ 4835 P water processor reduces use of natural water resources to a minimum, making it an environmentally sound solution for producing flexographic printing plates.
For plates with max. size 635×762 mm with 1.14 mm and 1.70 mm plate thickness
The new All-In-One AWP™-2530 AA flexographic water-wash processor is designed to meet the highest quality standards requested by today’s customers. The combination of processor and plate technology is engineered to deliver a sustainable quality output resulting in vivid colours and higher quality screening technologies on press. In addition, AWP™-2530 AA water-wash processor presents an environmentally sound solution aiming to drive flexographic print forward in balance with the environment.
Third party solvent, exposure, dryer and light finishing equipment
For Flexo Plates with max. size 25×30 inch/63,5×76,2 cm
All in one unit. Dual tank. High UV. Cooled bed. Light Integrator
Evo2 A is an all-in-one plate processing unit with a separate pre-wash section for digital plates. The unit is a single-pass inline processor with a high power (30mW/cm²) UVA main exposure, light integrator and controlled lamp cooling system. The processor includes a servo drive motor plate transport system for constant washout results plus a volumetric pump for precise polymer solid content control. The four dryer drawers prevent any air leakage to quickly reach desired drying temperature. The UVA-UVC light finisher can run sequentially or simultaneously using optical fibre lamp detection.

Evo3 Processor
The Evo3 Processor is an incremental processing unit with a pre wash section for digital plates and a separate tank. During the wash-out, the plate moves at a constant speed. An integrated punch system, storage of up to 8 pin bars and a plate holder to prevent plates dropping to the floor are standard features of the system.
The Evo3 EDLF is a combined system with an exposure unit, four integrated dryer drawers and a light finisher section. The unit is available with manual or automatic lid opening. The exposure section includes a water-circulation-cooled bed system for uniform and constant temperature, and a vacuum system for analogue plates. The UVA exposure lamps reach an output of up to 30 mW/cm². The exposure time is controlled by a light integrator, which can operate either in mJ or in sec. The dryer features an automatic pre-heat option with a automatic switch-off after the last plate. The light finisher includes an air flow cooling system with sequential or combined UVA-UVC post exposure. UV lamp functioning is monitored by optical fibre lamp detection.
For Flexo Plates with max. size 47×33 inch/120×160 cm
The Evo5 processor is an incremental processing unit with a pre wash section for digital plates and a separate tank. During the wash-out, the plate moves at a constant speed. An integrated punch system, a storage of up to 8 pin bars and a plate holder to prevent plates dropping to the floor are standard features of the system. The Evo5 Processor is also available as a faster batch processor (BP).
The Evo5 Exposure unit comes with a temperature controlled integrated chiller unit with a lamp air cooling system. The clamshell design with a pneumatic lid opener ensures easy handling and prevents accidental closing. The UV light features high output, and consistent, uniform distribution with a light integrator system that automatically compensates for any UV output variation. The unit can operate in either mJ or sec.
The Evo LightFinisher+Dryer consists of two separate units. The dryer features six drawers with separate heating of every two drawers for uniform temperature control. An integrated exhaust system is standard as well as a touch screen for easy operation. The unit features a programmable warm-up option as well as an automatic switch-off after the last plate is produced. The UVA-UVC light finisher includes fibre optic lamp detection and can be stacked on top of the dryer to reduce the overall system footprint.
Laminating/exposing unit
Lamination/exposure processes for all functions and process sequences of the unit can be input and checked via a programmable controller and visualized on a coloured display. APR™ plates can be laminated to individual thicknesses of 1.7-8.0 mm, with increments of 0.01 mm.
Processor
The AWF 110 W processing system consists of three sections operating independently of each other. Plate transfer from one module to the next is a manual operation. To ensure trouble-free operation, the plate is fixed to a holding bar, which is connected to the working section in question. It features liquid photopolymer recovery.
Photopolymer supply tank
To ensure continuous working, there are three supply tanks combined in one unit. Two base photopolymer tanks with a volume of 90 litres each and a capping-photopolymer tank with a volume of 18 litres incorporated in one unit provide sufficient capacity for continuous operation. All photopolymer tanks are equipped with level sensors and a dedicated heater. The base photopolymer tanks are equipped with an agitator.
Systems for APR™ Plate Making
Laminating/exposing unit
Lamination/exposure processes for all functions and process sequences of the unit can be input and checked via a programmable controller and visualized on a colour display.
Processor
The processing system consists of five modules operating independently of each other. Each has a cylinder on which the APR™ plate is clamped. Plate transfer from one module to the next is a manual operation. All functions and sequences are controlled via a freely programmable controller.
Photopolymer supply tank
Two liquid base photopolymer tanks with a volume of 200 litres each provide high capacity for continuous working
