Baldwin Technology Company Inc. will showcase its new portfolio of optimized LED-UV curing, IRdrying and automated cleaning solutions—all specifically designed for corrugated high-graphics printers—at the European Federation of Corrugated Board Manufacturers (FEFCO) Technical Seminar, held October 20 to 22 in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Baldwin’s FlexoCleanerBrush™ removes hickeys in four seconds and can clean plates within three to four minutes, increasing print quality and providing a cleaner, safer work environment. This automated cleaner removes fibers, debris and fine lines from printing plates at the beginning, during or at the end of a job, allowing printers to achieve optimal quality with minimal downtime—Baldwin has a proven track record of enabling significant productivity improvements for its long list of customers. Designed to replace all manual activities, this cleaning system eliminates skin contact with wash agents, increasing workers’ safety.

For wide-format flexo corrugated box printing, Baldwin’s AMS Spectral UV has engineered CorruCure™, a new generation of LEDUV technology that offers more than a 60% reduction in power consumption in an ultra-compact UV lamp head. This revolutionary solid-state curing system, designed specifically for corrugated LED printing, emits almost no heat or ozone, and accommodates width-switching. It also enables the curing of high-value decorative solutions, such as full-gloss, spot and matte coating effects on a variety of corrugated substrates, making it the ideal addition for product enhancement.

Lastly, Baldwin’s FlexoDry2™ infrared dryer, developed for corrugated flexo printing presses, utilizes patented Diamond IR lamps capable of reducing energy consumption by up to 30%, when compared to traditional IR dryers with aluminum or gold reflectors. Dramatically improved drying enhances color definition, and reduces or eliminates marking, while allowing full-speed printing. The system offers an optional integrated hot-air knife with temperature control to provide better surface drying. Taking safety into consideration, the FlexoDry2 comes with an integrated safety light curtain as standard and an optional camera vision system.

Baldwin receives three FlexoCleanerBrush™ orders in 30 days

  • Full-width automated cleaning system will be installed on high-graphics corrugated presses

Baldwin Technology Company Inc. has successfully landed three new FlexoCleanerBrush orders, with a total of 16 cleaning heads, from customers in the US and Germany. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Baldwin has delivered a total of 30 FlexoCleanerBrush cleaning heads, thanks to close collaboration between onsite team members, local agents, the company’s global sales organization, and support from its product and technology center in Germany. With the FlexoCleanerBrush system, an inline cleaning station installed within each print unit uses a brush that runs the full width of each printing plate. Paired with a precision spray application system, the FlexoCleanerBrush evenly distributes a mixture of detergent and water across the plate as it spins, gently cleaning its surface. The plates are then dried by the integrated air knife.

The plates are then dried by the integrated air knife.

“With two of the recent orders, the customers had already installed the FlexoCleanerBrush in other locations. One of them reported as much as a 30 percent production capacity increase, thanks to the  installation,” said Lee Simmonds, Regional Sales Manager at Baldwin. “Both customers have experienced insufficient results with their original traversing cloth cleaning systems, which will now be removed and replaced with the full-width, stand-alone, automated FlexoCleanerBrush technology from Baldwin.”

Improving sustainability is one of the key drivers for investments in the corrugated printing industry. The FlexoCleanerBrush dramatically cuts water waste by cleaning plates more efficiently. In a recent independent study that was conducted to validate the capacity of the automated system, the FlexoCleanerBrush could fully clean and dry all printing plates in less than four minutes and pick hickeys in seconds.

Besides offering efficient cleaning during runs and fast end-of-job cleaning, the FlexoCleanerBrush system also enables operators to remove dry plates from the machine without the potential risk of plates sticking together once they are placed back in the plateracking system. This helps to ensure increased board throughput, less downtime and a safer working environment by eliminating operators’ contact with nip points, moving parts and chemicals.

VPK Group investiert in FlexoCleanerBrush™ von Baldwin Technology

  • Neues System reinigt Druckplatten für Wellpappe automatisch in weniger als vier Minuten

Die VPK Group, Marktführer für Wellpappenverpackungen, hat kürzlich einen FlexoCleanerBrush der Baldwin Technology Company Inc. installiert. Dieses neue System, das Wellpappen-Druckplatten automatisch in weniger als vier Minuten reinigt und trocknet, wurde in die moderne 2,1 Meter breite 6-Farben Göpfert Ovation High Board Line von VPK im neuen Hochregalwerk des Unternehmens in Halden, Norwegen, eingebaut.

Beim FlexoCleanerBrush-System verwendet eine in jeder Druckeinheit installierte Inline-Reinigungsstation eine Bürste, die über die gesamte Breite jeder Druckplatte läuft. In Kombination mit einem Präzisionssprühauftragssystem verteilt der FlexoCleanerBrush eine Mischung aus etwa fünf Prozent Reinigungsmittel und Wasser gleichmäßig über die sich drehende Platte und reinigt so sanft deren Oberfläche. Die Platten werden dann durch das integrierte Luftmesser getrocknet. Die Reinigungszyklen können über das Bedienfeld des FlexoCleanerBrush oder über die integrierte Göpfert-Mensch-Maschine-Schnittstelle gesteuert werden.

Das FlexoCleanerBrush-System bietet eine effiziente Reinigung während des Drucklaufs und eine schnelle Reinigung am Ende des Auftrags, zusätzlich ermöglicht es dem Bediener, trockene Platten aus der Maschine zu entfernen, ohne dass das Risiko besteht, dass die Platten nach dem Zurücksetzen in das Plattenregalsystem zusammenkleben. Dies trägt dazu bei, einen höheren Durchsatz an Boards, geringere Ausfallzeiten und eine sicherere Arbeitsumgebung zu gewährleisten, indem der Kontakt des Bedienpersonals mit Klemmstellen, beweglichen Teilen und Chemikalien vermieden wird.
