Flexo Wash will promote its most advanced cleaning lineup to date, led by the newly launched FW LaserX 2000. This product marks the next generation of laser anilox cleaning and is now the standard for all new laser orders in North America, the company states.
Built around Galvo scanning technology and a high-speed NIR-MOPA laser, the LaserX 2000 delivers faster, more consistent cleaning with significantly less mechanical wear than conventional direct-laser systems. Plus, the LaserX 2000 does it with zero chemistry, zero water, and zero waste.
New features include a new design for easier tool-free roll loading, automated 3D inspection with integrated microscope for cycle optimization, CleanLink inventory management via RFID and barcode, industrial-grade 3-stage air filtration (HEPA, Active Carbon, Spark Arrestor), collision detection, and surface-specific cleaning parameters for Chrome, Steel, Tungsten, and more. It is Class 1 laser rated with no safety goggles or dedicated ventilation required, as well. Live demonstrations are taking place throughout the show.
Automated press cleaning
Alongside the LaserX 2000, attendees can explore Flexo Wash’s full range of automated press cleaning systems: liquid anilox cleaners, plate washers, parts washers, screen washers and proprietary cleaning chemistry. Flexo Wash has custom-configured each product to the customer’s press, ink system, and component requirements.
Flexo Wash has more than 800 installations across North America and more than 5,000 worldwide.
Patrick Potter, president, says, “LOUPE Americas is one of the most important gatherings in the label and packaging space, and it’s where we want to be. Flexo Wash has been the cleaning partner for converters around the world for over 30 years, and shows like this are how we stay connected to the people and pressrooms we serve.”
Ryan Potter, vice president of sales, adds, “There’s no better place to talk pressroom performance than a room full of label and packaging converters. We’ll have our full lineup on hand, from laser anilox cleaning to plate and parts washing, and we’re ready to have real conversations about what cleaning equipment means for uptime, quality, and the bottom line.”
