AI Description
BetaCapabilities
The Glunz & Jensen C85 is a continuous-flow washout unit designed specifically for chemistry-free offset printing plates. It efficiently cleans plates while simultaneously applying gum arabic, a protective coating that keeps non-printing areas receptive to water during the printing process. With dual brushes and a working width of 851mm, it handles plates ranging from 231mm to 1100mm in length and 0.15mm to 0.3mm in thickness.
Industries & Uses
Printing shops and mid-sized offset printing operations use washout units to streamline plate preparation—a critical step between plate imaging and press setup. This machine is essential for facilities processing multiple plates daily, as it reduces manual labor and ensures consistent plate conditioning. It's particularly valuable for shops transitioning to chemistry-free workflows, which require reliable automated gumming.
What to Check When Buying
When purchasing a used washout unit, inspect the brush condition carefully, as worn brushes reduce cleaning effectiveness and may damage plates. Request maintenance records, particularly for the gumming system and brush assembly. Check that all rollers spin freely and the water/gum distribution is even across the working width. Verify electrical and mechanical components function smoothly, and confirm the unit has been properly stored to avoid rust or corrosion damage.
