Interflex Exposure Units
Interflex Exposure Units
Features
Short Exposures, High Productivity

Interflex Exposure Units are specifically designed to expose photopolymer printing plates.  Therefore reflection lamps (tubes) have been chosen with a wavelength of 365Nm (UVA type), resulting in a powerful and fast exposure.  These lamps are fitted with electronic starters, thus no pre-exposure warm up is required and long life is guaranteed.

Interflex Exposure Units operate at an optimum working temperature of 104° - 122° F (40° - 50° C).  Interflex Exposure Units are outfitted with circulation fans to avoid overheating during exposure, which could cause surface damage and flawed exposures.  The number and size of these circulation fans are determined by the distance from lamp to plate and the intensity of the UVA lamps.


Complete Equipment
Interflex Exposure Units are fitted with maintenance-free vacuum pumps and filters, reflection-free vacuum tables, yellow interior lights, hour counters and two timers.  All of the Interflex Exposure Units can be upgraded with a light integration system.  Each model has 2 drawers below the exposure unit, ample for the safe storage of the photopolymer plates.  Model IFE 5 / 80 has a manual hood closing and raising system; the three larger models have automatic hood closing and raising and are preset amid your required exposure cycle.

Interflex Drying Units

Features

Safe and Secure Drying
Interflex Drying Units have been designed for dyring water and solvent washable photopolymer plates.  Each unit utilizes forced hot air, an air circulation filter and is controlled with and LCD thermostatic control.  Built-in, high out put circulation fans an even temperature throughout the overall dryer.The Interflex Drying Units have been designed to be over pressurized to force evaporated fumes into the exhaust system.  Each drying drawer has a unique twist lock knob and is hermetically sealed to prevent undesirable solvent fumes from leaking into the prepress area.  Whenever a drying drawer is opened; the circulation fans are programmed to shut down automatically, while the ventilation continues to exhaust the fumes.  In addition, each drying drawer is equipped with up to 2 programmable LCD timers.  Now its easy to control your drying time for each individual plate.  Interflex Drying Units are capable of maintaining a temperature of 194° F / 90° C.

IDI Advantage
IDI Advantage
Features
The plate is exposed using a principle that differs from conventional techniques.  The UV source is a point light lamp.  Light is guided to the plate using special reflectors and has an adjustable output.  The main exposure is conducted automatically in 2 consecutive steps.  The initial exposure with a non-scattering point light source creates sharply defined lines and dots without shoulders.  This image produced in this step is optimum, but is without the necessary shoulders.  The 2nd step of main exposure is carried out using a filter.  This filter scatters the light as in conventional units and produces the needed shoulder.

System functions:
Back, main, post-exposure with UVC, washout, drying
Power supply:
220V –  2500W (13 Amp) – single phases – 2.5 Kw
Pipe fittings:  
Cock with ball valve of 3/8 and 1

Exposure:  The drawer is provided with 9 lamps for the main and post exposure type UV 40 W 10R.  The UVC exposure takes place in a stainless steel drawer with 10 lamps type TUV 15W.  The microprocessor system keeps an internal memory of the lamps life to help determine when it’s time to replace them.  The vacuum system and the vacuum sheet perfectly hold the negative to the plate.  The lamps and the vacuum surface are cooled by forced air circulation inside the drawer.  If the lid is opened the exposure is stopped until the lid is closed again.

Washout:   The stainless steel tank has a capacity of 5.3 gallons / 20 liters approx.   The nylon brushes are assembled on springs to have an even pressure on plates of various thicknesses.  The washout platen rotates alternatively in two directions to ensure an even washout of the plate and it stops if the lid is opened.

Programming:   The microprocessor controlled keyboard allows the use to set up to nine customized programs to control the time of each function:  back exposure, main exposure, post-exposure and UVC, washout and drying.  For the last two functions it is also possible to set the temperature in °C.  Furthermore, the display shows the value of the vacuum (in Bar) and the drying time for each drawer.

Green/Red Warning LEDs constantly informing about the status of the machine – acoustic alarm in case of errors and/or malfunctions.

Dryer:  The two drawers are provided with a 1000W heater, forced air circulation and safety switch.
