The new Wave 3 plate processing solution for water based flexographic plates developed by Vianord Engineering in Carros, France, is designed to meet the highest quality and reliability requirements of the most demanding customers. It is engineered to greatly enhance the sustainability advantages offered by water washable flexo plates while safeguarding quality washout and superior screenings.

The Wave 3 P can handle a maximum plate size of 92 cm x 120 cm (36 inches x 48 inches) and it can process almost all the plate types in the market from 1,14 mm up to 2,84 mm of thickness, both digital and analogue.

Amongst many other advantages, the new WAVE 3 Processor offers:

  • Trivial equipment footprint, when compared to conventional processing equipment
  • Fast high-quality washout, perfected by uniques LAM residuals cleaning and the pre-drying features
  • Integrated water reclaimer system, which doesn’t require a frequent water replacement and only needs to top-up the quantity that naturally evaporates at its working temperature; positioning this processor as the most environmentally sound solution commercially available
  • Stimulating economic performance.

“The innovative Wave product family is answering the flexo industry’s demand of solvent free and fully automated plate making systems” Concluded Massimiliano Merlo, Global Marketing and Sales Director at Vianord Engineering.
