The unique patented design of the Flexico V5 polymer-plate mounting machine evolved following an analysis of ‘what the printer wanted’ for fast and accurate mounting of plates.

The machine’s clever design provides a rise and fall plate bed on which the plate is placed before being pulled forward underneath the cameras and gently clamped into place by a pneumatically powered holding bar. Once the plate is placed on the bed and gently clamped in position, the operators hands are free to make lateral as well as forward/back/swivel movement of the plate so the first plate can be mounted with the position set using this clever and unique adjustment facility.

The Flexo Factor also offers a full range of cleaning solutions that have been developed to enhance the ultrasonic cleaning process. Our cleaning products are environmentally safe, ozone friendly, non-hazardous aqueous, (zero VOC) and solvent based solutions that have a low rate of evaporation. They are suitable for all ink and adhesives ,UV-cured inks, water and solvent-based inks. Additionally, we offer manual cleaning products.
