InterPlater HDX Features and Benefits February processing perfe x ion

- taking InterPlater to the highest level Introducing the X-factor

Features & Benefits The InterPlater HDX continues the tried and trusted Glunz & Jensen technology from the first generation, but at the same time introduces selected innovative features that strengthen the product by offering even higher quality and productivity for high-end production. Xtreme plate processing performance Xcellent usability for the daily user Xtra easy access for maintenance –the features and benefits of the X-factor changes are shown in the following slides.

Features & Benefits Pre-heat section Powerful dual hot air circulation ovens with heat-sink guarantee continuous cross plate accuracy of +/- 3°C or better, with resistance to mains power variations (quality) and energy depletion at high productivity. More >> More >> The oven has two separate heating chambers each with closed loop air circulation to prevent heat from escaping to the pre-press room, thus reducing direct production cost and the indirect cost of maintaining an acceptable climate in the pre-press room. The two separate oven chambers are each equipped with 2 heating elements that are individually controllable and enable 2-step oven functionality: accelerate and stabilize. This preheat oven is superior to any other integrated oven on the market… Glunz & Jensen unique feature perfexion in plate processing quality and performance

Features & Benefits Development section Simplified design using a dip tank with a dip-to-nip distance increase of 20%. New brush geometry provides an increase in soak time of 50%. See next slide >> Firmly controlled developer conditions using circulation, heating and cooling to allow stability and compensation of plates entering developer and pre-press room conditions in general. Plate specific configuration kits which together with the plate supplier have been tested and proven to provide optimal plate development. Stable processing performance up to 2.2 * m/min or +300 * pph *) Depending on plate size and plate type Minimum plate length down to 285 mm ~ 46” web presses. Continuous co-operation with plate manufacturers assures optional development of the plate of your choice - now and in the future. perfexion in plate processing quality and performance

Features & Benefits Prewash and wash section: Water consumption InterPlater HDX has an water-saving kit that circulates the water in the prewash and wash tanks. With this kit installed, the water consumption is determined by two factors: –Water replenish rate: typically 1000 ml/m 2 in both prewash and wash –Water replacement frequency: e.g. every day Calculation –Assumption: 550 plates/day of size (395 x 580) mm ~ 126 m 2 –Water replenish: 1000 ml/m 2 x 126 m 2 = 126 l /day –Water replacement: wash = 14l Total daily consumption: 140 l/day for each 550 plates/day size (395 x 580) mm and daily water replacement ~ 2000 l/day in tapwater configuration perfexion in plate processing quality and performance

Glunz & Jensen offer plate processors with a Client application that makes it possible to monitor and control the processors remotely from a PC. We call it Remote Enabling System… Via the local network or internet the in-house technician, the operator, or an external service technician is able to monitor, change settings and diagnose the condition of the processor, e.g. chemistry level, replenish and waste/water level, temperatures, or plate jam. With the Remote Enabling System you can also send alarms of your own choice via or SMS when your processor is working unattended.
