Flexo Plate Making Machine
The Short Answer
This is a one-stop flexo plate-making machine. It combines plate exposure, developing, drying, de-tack, and post-exposure in one unit. The same machine can switch between water-wash and solvent-wash plate processing. It is built around 1.7 mm flexo plates. Four models cover different exposure areas: CY250, CY300, CY320 and CY450.
One-Stop Plate Making
- Plate exposure
- Developing
- Drying
- De-tack / surface tack removal
- Post-exposure
- Water-wash and solvent-wash processing on the same machine
- Imported PHILIPS exposure lamps
- High-speed vacuum suction for stable plate contact
- Flat water-wash plate handling and automatic plate affixing
- Wash solution heating, circulation, and filtration on CY320 and CY450

Which Model Should You Choose?
Choose by the plate size and exposure area:
• CY250 — 400 × 250 mm exposure area, compact, no circulation/filter tank.
• CY300 — 420 × 300 mm exposure area, compact, no circulation/filter tank.
• CY320 — 320 × 480 mm exposure area, with circulation/filter tank.
• CY450 — 450 × 600 mm exposure area, with circulation/filter tank.
The machine functions and structure are the same across the four models. The main difference is the exposure area and whether the wash tank includes circulation and filtration.
Water-Wash and Solvent-Wash
The same machine can switch between water-wash and solvent-wash plate processing. CY320 and CY450 include wash solution heating, circulation and filtration. CY250 and CY300 do not include the circulation/filter tank.
The standard plate thickness is 1.7 mm. Other plate thicknesses are not confirmed; send the plate specification before ordering.
Why Make Plates In-House?
- Control plate lead time
- Keep plate quality in your own workshop
- One machine covers exposure, developing, drying, de-tack, and post-exposure
- Water-wash and solvent-wash on the same machine
- PHILIPS lamps and stable vacuum contact
- Compact models for small plate rooms; larger exposure areas for higher plate output
Applications
- In-house flexo plate making for label and ribbon production
- Plate rooms at label and ribbon factories
- Flexo printing workshops
- Plate making for narrow-web label and ribbon presses
Plate size and thickness must be confirmed for the target press before ordering.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the machine include?
A: Exposure, developing, drying, de-tack, and post-exposure in one unit.
Q: Can it do both water-wash and solvent-wash?
A: Yes. The same machine can switch between water-wash and solvent-wash processing.
Q: Which models include the circulation/filter wash tank?
A: CY320 and CY450 include it. CY250 and CY300 do not.
Q: What plate thickness does it use?
A: The standard plate thickness is 1.7 mm. Other thicknesses are not confirmed; send the plate specification.
Q: How do I choose the model?
A: Choose by exposure area and plate size. CY250 and CY300 are compact models without the circulation/filter tank; CY320 and CY450 have larger exposure areas and the circulation/filter tank.
Q: Can it make plates for the CY2001 or CY4002 flexo press?
A: It makes flexo plates. Confirm the plate size, exposure area, and 1.7 mm thickness for your press before ordering.
Q: Do you provide installation?
A: No installation is required. The machine is plug-and-play, with online support.
Q: What is the warranty?
A: 1 year.
Q: Can you test our plate?
A: Yes. Send the plate type, thickness, size, and artwork; we will confirm the model and exposure area.
Send your plate type, thickness, plate size, and artwork. We will confirm the exposure area, water/solvent configuration, and the correct CY model, then quote the machine.
