DUO#DeDust® – Sheet Cleaning Systems for Clean Flexographic Printing Processes

Inline dedusting of individual sheets reduces print defects, extends plate service life and enables stable high-performance production in flexographic and digital printing.

The DUO#DeDust® sheet cleaning systems remove dust and loose particles directly within the material flow between the feeder and the first print unit. Depending on the application, mechanical cleaning elements, ionization to neutralize electrostatic charges, and precisely coordinated extraction technology are used.
By combining these technologies, particles are reliably released from the sheet surface and extracted from the process area. The result: clean sheets, reduced plate contamination, and more stable production conditions.

• Significantly improved print quality
• Reduced fish eyes and print defects
• Extended plate cleaning intervals
• Fewer unplanned machine stops
• Stable production at high speeds
• Gentle inline cleaning
• Reduced dust exposure within the production environment

In practice, minimizing cleaning-related downtime can lead to measurable increases in productivity.

DUO#DeDust® sheet cleaning systems are used wherever individual sheets must be reliably freed from dust and particles before printing.
Typical applications include:

• Corrugated post-print
• Flexographic printing machines (FFG and inline)
• Digital printing on corrugated board
• Paper and cartonboard converting
• High-speed sheet processing lines

Especially when processing dust-intensive materials, inline cleaning significantly improves process stability.

DUO#DeDust® sheet cleaning systems can be integrated into many printing machines even where installation space is limited. The system is typically installed after the feeder and before the first print unit. The greater the available installation space, the further the cleaning performance can be optimized.
