Title:
REDUCED FLOW RATE PROCESSING SYSTEM FOR FLEXOGRAPHIC PRINTING PLATES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2024/044206
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A processing system for processing a flexographic printing plate can include a processing path for processing the flexographic printing plate. A hollow tube can be positioned to be extended across the processing path. A pressurized processing liquid supply system is provided. A plurality of pressure-compensating emitters are coupled to the hollow tube Each pressure-compensating emitter can include a casing having a fluidic flow path that is fluidly coupled with the hollow tube and having an outlet. Also, each emitter can include a resilient planar member in the casing and positioned to form at least one resilient surface of the fluidic flow path. Each pressure-compensating emitter is configured to control flow rate of the pressurized processing liquid to produce processing liquid drips from the outlet. The resilient planar member can be positioned to provide a variable outlet cross-sectional profile to the outlet in response to pressure inside the casing.
