Anderson & Vreeland Inc. (A&V), a manufacturer and distributor of flexographic print technologies, equipment, and supplies, showcased two newly-released pieces of platemaking equipment at Labelexpo Americas: The Orbital XP for water-wash and the AVxpose for thermal platemaking.
The Orbital XP is a multi-functional plate processor available for processing water-wash plates up to 25 inches x 30 inches. It is now PLC controlled and fully automatic with a raising and lowering washout lid. With a fully automated LED touch panel display, it is reportedly even simpler to use than before. It features an orbital washout, dual exposure section and an added detac combo drawer.
In addition, the product has a heat/fume exhaust outlet for outside venting, a stainless-steel washout section to prevent corrosion, a dual orbital-action platen for an efficient washout, vacuum pump and electronic solid-state ballasts. A thermostat controlled three drawer dryer uses forced hot air for efficient plate drying. It is also compatible with Anderson & Vreeland’s CL50 Whirl-a-way unit, which offers extra water filtering and particle separation.
The all new AVXpose 3648 is a PLC controlled, high output exposure unit with dual post exposure and detac combo drawer designed for digital imaging and the thermal market. It also uses a fully automated LED touch panel display and operation. The new clamshell exposure lid and liquid cooled exposure bed is said to offer consistent exposure bed temps for optimal plate exposure.
