B1 CtP Platesetter - PlateRite HD 8900N-Z/S/E

The new Screen PlateRite HD 8900N range comprises the Z, S, and E models, each one designed to meet the needs of different production environments and offers lower power consumption and increased environmental benefits.

Re-designed the Platerite HD 8900N CtP platesetter series can image over 65 plates an hour.

The PlateRite HD 8900N series has been developed with the goal of minimising energy use and environmental impact. Energy use during operation has been cut by up to 43%, and a power-saving mode allows energy savings of up to 88% during idling. Together these savings greatly strengthen the environmental credentials of the PlateRite HD 8900 series.

The top-end, high-output PlateRite HD 8900N-Z can image up to 70 plates an hour (1,030 x 800 mm plate sizes at a resolution of 2,400 dpi). The S and E models deliver 48 and 36 plates an hour respectively, with the additional capability to combine high-precision halftone dots with a 4,000 dpi output to produce photo-quality printing. 3D lenticular output mode is available on all models to support crisp 3D printing. Features such as these support high value-added printing to enhance differentiation in the marketplace.

Production flexibility is a strong feature of this new Screen PlateRite series. All models can handle a variety of plate sizes from 304 x 305 mm to 1,165 x 950 mm making it ideal to support a wide range of offset presses. In addition, a new autoloader design features improved operability and flexibility. The ability to load plates during continuous exposure, results in increased production volumes and the ability to keep pace with the needs of multiple jobs and high-speed presses.

SA-L8900 single-cassette autoloader (optional)
The SA-L 8900 single-cassette autoloader can hold up to 100 plates, which makes long periods of continuous unmanned operation possible. It automatically removes interleaf paper and sends it to an external collection box just before each plate is loaded. No contact is made with the sensitive emulsion side of the plate at any stage during transport, eliminating the risk of damage to the plate. Manual loading is also possible, providing the flexibility to use different sized plates whenever required.

MA-L8900 multi-cassette autoloader (optional)
The MA-L8900 multi-cassette autoloader enables complete automation of the cassette changing and plate loading processes. It is attached as an extension to the single-cassette autoloader. It comes standard with three cassettes, with each cassette holding up to 100 plates. An additional two cassettes are available as an option. The use of five cassettes enables automatic switching between up to 500 plates of five different sizes, as necessary for the job at hand. When the same size of plate is loaded in each cassette, extremely long periods of unmanned operation are possible.
