EVO 2 A

The EVO 2 A system is the first project delivered by Vianord.

It is an all-in-one unit in the size 66 x 86 cm (26" x 34").

It is the first unit of its kind and size which is also equipped with a separate pre-wash section for digital plates with black (LAMS) layer running like a flowline (prewash/wash/cleaning/wiping).

Encumbrance

The minimum distance from the walls to your system should be of 1.2 mt (47.2”) in front, 0.5 mt (19.7”) at the rear and on the left-hand side and 0.65 mt (25. 6”) on the right-hand side.

The respect of the minimum distance from the walls is critical to allow sufficient space to the users and the engineers to be able to have access to the system in case of maintenance and repairs.

General Features

This automatic, PLC controlled, EVO system is specifically designed for high quality digital and conventional photopolymer plates for small printing applications (e.g. narrow web).

CE Certification

The equipment is designed and manufactured according to the EEC safety and health standards and on the basis of the verifications carried out according to the essential requirements of the Directive 2006/42/EC, the system respects and is in compliance with all the applicable points.

Solvent

This System is suitable for analogue and digital, polyester backed, solvent-washable photopolymer Flexo plate.

It is designed to work in a standard “drum-to-drum” configuration where fresh solvent is supplied to the washout unit from a drum and the saturated dirty solvent is pumped from the unit to a recovery drum. It has been tested with conventional solvents, with flashpoint above 62°C (144°F). The system's installation kit includes two Ø 16 mm - 5 mt solvent hoses with fittings, one level switch for the fresh solvent drum and another for the used solvent drum. Please note that if you intend to use your this system with permanently installed tanks, special level switches may be required.

Exposure

High concentration UV-A radiations
Lamps temperature management
Controlled airstream for lamps cooling
Exposure bed temperature management
Water cooled exposure bed
Light integrator for compensation of UVA aging lamps
Vacuum system for analogue plates
Fibre optics for lamp control

Processor

PLC driven system designed to process solvent-washable, polyester-backed, analogue and digital plates up to a size of 90 x 120 cm (36x48 inch) and thickness up to 7 mm (0.276 inches).

Dryer

Drawers Pre-Heating management
Temperature management system
Separate Heat management (one each 2 drawers)
Dedicated exhaust system
Automatic switch-off (programmable)

Light Finisher

Flexible post exposure and light finishing sequence
Static cooling system (air cooling)
Fibre optics for lamp control

Stress-Accumulation Early-Warning

The system provides Early Alerts when the time to replace an over-stressed part, causing too much risk, has come. This innovative function allows users to intentionally replace parts that are tired, aged, and degraded just before they fail. More than one hundred parts, critical to the uptime of the system, have been identified and data relative to their maximum-lifetime-expectationstored in the software.

Remote Diagnostics

Remote-Monitoring and Remote-Diagnostics (to be purchased separately); The concept of automation symbolises high quality and productivity, so ensuring you experience minimal downtime, for Vianord is essential. For that reason, this EVO system may be fitted with an Industrial VPN Gateway - EWON COSY 131 - designed to offer Vianord Certified Engineers remote access, across the Internet. This innovative system will help you keep uptime high, maintenance costs low, and extend the system’s useful life.

Compressed Air Supply

To perform to the best of its possibilities, the system requires a continuous and stable supply of compressed air at a pressure of at least 7 bar (101.5 psi) and not more than 10 bar (145 psi), with pressure dew point 3°C and max. residual intake oil content of < 0.01 mg/m3. Consider also an average consumption of 70 l/hr. The system installation kit includes a 5-meter - Ø 6mm air connecting pipe for push-in fitting.

Exhaust

The unit is equipped with a well-designed exhaust system that collect and conveys vapours and fumes from the different sections the machine and discharge them as quickly and silently as possible. The blower in the systems has sufficient power to vent the entire equipment when the tube supplied is connected directly to a vent hoods in the external wall or on the roof.

Washout/Dryer
Duct connection: Ø 100 mm (3.94”) Airflow: 200-350 m3/h

Light-Finisher
Duct connection: Ø 100 mm (3.94”) Airflow: 200-350 m3/h

Working Environment

The system should be installed in a clean, constant-temperature and constant-humidity pre-printing environment with a temperature between 18 and 26°C (64.4 and 78.8°F) and a non-condensing relative humidity in the range of 40 to 60%. To maintain such environmental standards an efficient heating/cooling and ventilating system may be required.
