Abstract
Provided is a conveying type washing device capable of achieving both maintainability and productivity. This conveying type washing device develops a flexographic printing plate precursor after imagewise exposure using a washing solution. The conveying type washing device has a conveying unit that conveys the flexographic printing plate precursor through a conveying path including a curved conveying path, and a development unit that develops the flexographic printing plate precursor in a state in which the flexographic printing plate precursor is immersed in the washing solution by the conveying unit and conveyed.
Claims15
A conveying type washing device that develops a flexographic printing plate precursor after imagewise exposure using a washing solution, the device comprising:
- a conveying unit that conveys the flexographic printing plate precursor through a conveying path including a curved conveying path;
- a development unit that develops the flexographic printing plate precursor in a state in which the flexographic printing plate precursor is immersed in the washing solution by the conveying unit and conveyed, wherein the development unit has a brush used for development, and the brush is movable in parallel relative to the flexographic printing plate precursor;
- and
- a processing unit having a separation membrane that removes solids in a development fatigue liquid, the solids being generated by removing an unexposed portion of the flexographic printing plate precursor by the development using the washing solution.
A conveying type washing device that develops a flexographic printing plate precursor after imagewise exposure using a washing solution, the device comprising:
- a conveying unit that conveys the flexographic printing plate precursor through a conveying path including a curved conveying path;
- and
- a development unit that develops the flexographic printing plate precursor in a state in which the flexographic printing plate precursor is immersed in the washing solution by the conveying unit and conveyed,
- wherein the development unit has a brush used for development and a support that is provided at a position opposite to the brush with the flexographic printing plate precursor interposed therebetween and supports the flexographic printing plate precursor, and
- wherein the brush is arranged in the washing solution and is movable in parallel relative to the flexographic printing plate precursor, and the development is performed by removing an unexposed portion of the flexographic printing plate precursor by the brush.
