// Why a Final Plate Cleaner?
Starting Position:
- The operator clean the cliché next to the printing machine by hand
- or there is a manual central cleaning station for cliché in the factory
- The clichés are cleaned with hand brushes, water and soap (no defined cleaning, no defined application of water and soap, the clichés can be damaged by mechanical cleaning)
Advantages of a central usage of a FPC:
- Parallel cleaning of up to 4 clichés. This saves personnel costs.
- Defined cleaning and defined consumptions.
- Longer life time of clichés thanks to contactless cleaning.
Advantages of a decentral usage of a FPC:
- The operator has more time to control the production.
- Defined cleaning and defined consumption.
- Longer life time of clichés thanks to contactless cleaning.
