• Absolutely no loss in quality
• Processor runs cleaner, less maintenance
• Reduces discharge of waste developer
• Fully automatic operation
• No operator oversight required
• Small footprint – 12”W x 11”D x 24”H
• Change filter when you change the bath
• Fast Return-On-Investment
• Made in America
The Plate Chemistry Xtenderâ„¢ (PCXâ„¢) is an eco-friendly recycling and delivery system that reduces developer usage in CTP plate processors by 50%.
At the heart of the system is a special absorption cartridge that restores seasoned developer to a like new condition.
The PCX is installed in a closed loop with the processor developer bath. Every time the processor replenishment pump is energized the PCX draws seasoned developer from the bath, filters it to remove the photopolymer, dyes, and particle matter that are scrubbed off the plate during development process. The filtered developer is then returned to the bath along with fresh developer.
The absorption cartridge is the only consumable item in the PCX. The cartridge is changed with each developer bath change.
The PCX is a fully automatic system. No monitoring is required and the unit can be easily bypassed for system cleaning. Turning the system off completely removes the PCX from the replenishment system and restores the processor to its original configuration.
PMT manufactures chemical reduction and recycling systems for a broad range of applications. We are committed to the development of environmentally responsible, cost-effective products for the graphic arts industry.
