Nano digital plate making

Nano digital plate making:

Let the printing industry move towards "green manufacturing"

The crew put an aluminum plate into a seemingly unremarkable platemaking machine, and in less than three minutes, a plate came out of the end of the machine. There is no pungent chemical potion smell, and even no loud noise, and the whole plate making process is green and low carbon. This is the green nano digital plate making equipment developed by Liaoning Zhongke Hongsheng Nano Equipment Technology Co., LTD.

Green nano digital plate making equipment and nano new material project is one of the core technologies to achieve green printing. This technology is completely different from the laser phototypesetting technology used in the traditional printing industry, which gets rid of the complex printing plate making process and greatly reduces the pollution of the printing plate making process. At present, this technology is gradually realizing industrialization and is expected to become a new technological change in the printing field.

The green nano digital plate making equipment developed by Liaoning Zhongke Hongsheng Nano Equipment Technology Co., Ltd. uses the principle of direct imaging of nanomaterials to fill the gaps in the industry and reach the international leader. Due to the adoption of large format highly integrated platform design and multi-core and multi-thread control technology, the production speed of plate making is 58-65 sheets per hour, four times that of similar international products.

The "Green nano digital plate making equipment" project is a major scientific and technological innovation research project undertaken by the company of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, which is included in the national strategic emerging industry development plan and the National Development and Reform Commission, the action plan of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to revitalize the old industrial base in Northeast China, and the National Development and Reform Commission and the Commission of Industry and Information Technology Technology innovation and achievement transformation project.

According to He Fuyin, the relevant person in charge of the company, the green nano digital plate making equipment has the advantages of no pollution, low cost, and improved plate making efficiency compared with the current laser phototypesetting and international popular CTP technology, and the equipment cost is less than one-third of the internationally popular purple laser CTP equipment.

Since August 2021, green nano digital plate making equipment products have been applied to plate making and printing in Dandong Daily and Shenyang Daily respectively, and the effect is better than that of similar laser phototypesetting and CTP (photosensitive version, thermal version) plate making equipment. The products of the green nano digital plate making equipment project are planned to be promoted and applied in the provincial and municipal newspapers in Liaoning Province by the end of 2022, and have been strongly supported by the State Administration of Press and Publication, China Press Association and other departments.

He Fuyin said that next, the company will also jointly invest with the Institute of Chemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to build green nano plate making equipment and nano new materials project industrial park in the northeast region, improve the downstream products and related products of the industrial chain demand, build an industrial chain with equipment as the core, auxiliary products consumables as the auxiliary product, to achieve industrial agglomeration.

According to preliminary estimates, after the widespread use of new nanomaterials platemaking technology, the country will eliminate millions of tons of chemical waste liquid and wastewater discharge every year, which will play an important role in improving the technical level and competitiveness of nearly 100,000 printing enterprises in China.
