Easy to Plate® is Vianord Engineering’s fully integrated, modular solution designed to simplify and automate the entire flexographic plate production process. By combining key steps—such as washing, drying, light finishing, into a seamless, fully automated workflow, Easy to Plate® helps increase productivity, minimise handling errors, and ensure consistent plate quality, all within a cleaner, safer working environment. This advanced solution is ideal for companies aiming to optimise production, enhance efficiency, and improve safety through state-of-the-art automation.
Easy-to-Plate®
Base Modules
Light-Finisher/Stacker
Automatic Dryer
Incremental or Batch Processor
Easy to Plate® Configurations
These configurations can be purchased all at once; or can be reached by upgrading an existing stand-alone processor with the Automatic Dryer module; and/or the Light Finisher/Stacker module.
Designed for fully automated and efficient plate processing, the Easy to Plate® system streamlines different stages of production in different configurations.
With a modular design, customers can invest in a complete automatic line or upgrade it step by step. Equipped with advanced monitoring technology, including internal and remote-access cameras, as well as remote diagnostic tools, the system enhances process control while reducing handling risks.
Additionally, it prevents direct contact with solvent and fumes during standard operations, ensuring a safer and cleaner working environment.
