Flint Group unveils new Washer and Dryer/Lighter Finisher

The newest addi?ons to Flint Group’s Catena Product family, the Catena- W , for Washer, and Catena-DL, for Dryer Light finisher, follow Flint Group’s promise of delivering solutions which are Better.Faster.Easier to use.

This unique positon in the industry resulted in a close collabora?on between our R&D departments with the aim to provide a fully optimized Pre-press environment to our customers including equipment and plates. “We believe that no one in our industry can match this level of expertise and the first feedback we got from our beta customers is confirming our view”, says Friedrich von Rechteren, Global Commercial VP, Flint Group Flexographic. The Catena-W is designed to deliver highest productivity through unique plate alignment which avoids plate skew during transport as well as an advanced plate queuing system. This limits the distance between plates being processed and maximizes the throughput. An integrated plate shuttle will enable a single operator to easily handle large format plates, and a minimum gap between queues will increase the number of plates processed per shi?.
