Vianord Evo 3 EDLF
French flexographic plate-making systems company, Vianord Engineering, has developed Evo 3 ELF New and EDLF New exposure, dryer and light finisher units in response to customer demand for simpler operations.
The Evo 3 ELF New and EDLF New are combined units to expose, dry and light finish plates up to 90 x 120 cm. The Evo 3 EDLF New consists of an exposure section, a four-drawer dryer and light finisher. The Evo 3 ELF New is purposely designed for thermal flexo plates and therefore doesn’t have a drying section.
Improvements made to the new models include enhanced aesthetic, ergonomic and operator interface and an overall raised efficiency of key components, such as lights, cooling systems and air streams, as well as further noise reduction.
Plate quality and consistency is claimed to be better, while productivity should increase by reducing operator fatigue and discomfort.
Commenting on the new line, Riccardo de Caria, strategy advisor at Vianord Engineering, said, ‘In my experience, focusing on a series of reasonably small improvement ideas that have real measurable impact over the bottom line of my customers is as important as coming up with a big invention.
‘Vianord Engineering is […] providing customers with solutions they truly need and ask for,’ he added.
