Marchetti ORION models are designed to clean, after printing, photopolymer plates, to be kept, in perfect condition, ready for reprinting.
Cleaning is quick, some minutes, (depends on the length of the plate), with any type of ink , plate thicknesses from 0.8 to 5 mm
The plate is washed, rinsed and dried.
When the cycle is finished, the machine stops automatically.
They are built in various sizes, look at the attached technical feature.
The functions are controlled by computers and shown on the display.
As an OPTIONAL, an automatic conveyor belt can be connected to all models.
These models are designed for any type of photopopolymer plate, for Tipografica, Flexo and Tampografica.
Built in the models of width:
Cm: 45 ** 63 ** 86 ** 110 ** 140
Inches: 18**26**35**44** 56
This series of machines is added to all our models ETRA & SELF & GALILEO, machines for the production of photopolymer plates
Do not hesitate to ask for the catalog
Machine for photopolymer plates cleaning after print. Models Orion washes, rinses, and dry the plates.

Automatic Printing Plate Cleaning Equipment
Automatic printing plate cleaning equipment has become essential for modern flexographic, corrugated, and wide‑web printing operations that demand consistent quality and faster turnaround times. Instead of relying on manual scrubbing—which is slow, inconsistent, and risks damaging valuable photopolymer plates—automatic systems deliver controlled, repeatable cleaning cycles that protect plate integrity while dramatically reducing labor costs. These machines remove water‑based, solvent, and UV inks with precision, ensuring plates are returned to production‑ready condition after every run.
Advanced automatic plate cleaners wash, rinse, and dry plates in a single cycle, eliminating the variability of hand cleaning and ensuring every plate is stored in optimal condition for repeat jobs. Systems like the Orion series are engineered to handle a wide range of plate sizes and thicknesses, using computer‑controlled functions to maintain consistent brush pressure, detergent flow, and drying performance. This level of automation not only improves print quality but also extends plate life by preventing swelling, abrasion, and premature wear.
For busy production environments, automatic printing plate cleaning equipment offers measurable operational advantages. Operators can load plates and return to more productive tasks while the machine completes the cleaning cycle. Optional conveyor systems streamline plate handling even further, making it easy to integrate the equipment into existing workflows. With models available in multiple widths—from narrow‑web to large‑format corrugated—automatic plate cleaners provide a scalable solution for shops of all sizes. Their durability, ease of use, and rapid cleaning cycles allow them to pay for themselves quickly through reduced downtime, fewer plate replacements, and improved repeatability on long‑run and repeat jobs.
