TRESU Printing Plate Cleaning System
for Tissue and Napkin Industry
The TRESU printing plate cleaner is a modular built system with a central PLC
control, which enables repeated cleaning frequencies of each of the printing units
of a printing machine. The control is integrated in a basic module (cabinet)
together with vacuum-, filter-, air- and cleaning systems. From this basic module
each cleaning module is supplied with water, compressed air and vacuum.
The cleaning head is mounted on an AC-driven linear guide for large systems or on
an air-driven linear guide for narrow machines. The linear guide moves across the
plate roller during the cleaning process.
Placed on the cleaning head is a micro nozzle system which mixes a fine-grained
composition of air and cleaning water. This very fine-grained composition is blown
down onto the plate roller surface at high speed thereby breaking off attached ink
residues and dirt particles. A powerful vacuum leads these residues to a cyclone
where the fluid, the ink residues, and the dirt particles are separated from the air.
Finally a drying process leaves the plate surface ready before it receives ink from
the anilox roller again. The entire process takes place during production.
