CrystalCleanConnect fully automates the entire platemaking process, from imaging and exposure through to plate production, reducing the number of steps in the flexo platemaking process from 12 to just one. This equates to a reduction from 36 minutes in platemaking and plate cutting to just 2.5 minutes of operator time to complete all processing steps.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith CrystalCleanConnect, the operational benefits to businesses are as pronounced as the environmental benefits,\u201d said Pascal. \u201cWith the removal of so many process steps, there\u2019s an immediate 90% reduction in required operator time, which not only eliminates the potential for human error but also delivers immediate efficiency gains. Quality is assured through Asahi and Esko technologies working in complete harmony, and the combination of improved efficiency and quality delivers an average increase of 25% in press OEE.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>A holistic approach to connecting technologies<\/em><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Dieter Niederstadt, Technical Marketing Manager for Asahi Photoproducts said:<\/strong> \u201cFlexo needs to simplify processes while improving quality, consistency and profitability. In doing so, flexo can create new business opportunities\u00a0and positively transform into a printing technology in balance with the environment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis breakthrough innovation is different in many ways to other solutions on the market,\u201d Dieter said. \u201cIt is not just an assembly of available plate making processes delivered inline, but rather a holistic approach to connecting technologies, up and downstream of the prepress value chain, using an intelligent automation hub as the backbone and heart of the solution. CCC is truly pushing boundaries to the current scope of plate automation delivering a mount-ready plate as well as being the first automated production solution without the need for VOC-based washout solvents in in the platemaking process.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pascal Thomas added: \u201cAt Esko, we have long been dedicated to improving the platemaking experience, in terms of quality, productivity and connectivity. Together with Asahi Photoproducts, we are taking the flexo platemaking process to a brand-new level, enabling our customers to be even more competitive while also ensuring they can meet today\u2019s
