Bunting® Magnetics Company has created a new easy-to-assemble Plate Former Kit for its’ Bench Model Plate Former product. For Printing Industry customers, this kit provides a full assembly instruction sheet that will allow for a new Plate Former to be operational in 15 minutes! Plate Formers are an ideal addition for use in all printing operations for more efficient use of warehouse space.
“By using the Plate Former, you can store metal-backed plates and photoengravings flat,” stated Bob Van Horn, Bunting’s Printing Products Group Leader. “This saves storage space and allows for any operation to quickly pre-shape the plates for mounting in seconds. The kit is easy to assemble and is very compact for storage when not being used. Any printer using flexographic, dry-offset and letter press plate processes should have a Plate Former.”
The Plate Former, which fits on any table top, cuts press downtime and extends plate life. It curves printing plates after processing. Also, it speeds up setups on either magnetic or conventional cylinders and reduces the risk of plate damage. The Plate Former allows the operator to adjust the pressure needed to get the correct curl on the plate prior to use. This product can curve plates without causing flats and can be used to pre-shape the edges of the plate.
Bunting’s Bench-Model Plate Former features a 20” maximum plate width capability, 360° curving capability and has pressure adjustment capability. The Bench Model weighs only 40 lbs..
