Processing unit having condenser, and fully automatic gravure platemaking processing system using same

Abstract

Provided is a processing unit including a condenser, which is capable of condensing, during a plate-making process to be performed by the processing unit in a fully automatic gravure plate-making processing system, a processing solution vaporized into the form of mist so as to reuse the resultant as the processing solution, and to provide a fully automatic gravure plate-making processing system using the processing unit including a condenser. The processing unit includes a condenser, which is to be used for a fully automatic gravure plate-making processing system for manufacturing a plate-making roll by performing a series of processes on an unprocessed plate-making roll. The processing unit includes: a processing bath; chuck means for holding a gravure cylinder inside the processing bath; an intake port for taking in air, which is provided in a part of the processing bath; an exhaust port for exhausting gas, which is provided in another part of the processing bath; a condenser provided between the processing bath and the exhaust port; and a processing solution return pipe for returning, to the processing bath, a processing solution obtained by the condenser that liquefies a part of the gas to be exhausted.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a processing unit including a condenser, which is to be used for a fully automatic gravure plate-making processing system for manufacturing a plate-making roll by performing a series of processes on a plate-making roll to be processed (hereinafter referred to as “unprocessed plate-making roll”), and to a fully automatic gravure plate-making processing system using the processing unit including a condenser.BACKGROUND ART[0002]Conventionally, fully automatic gravure plate-making processing systems disclosed in, for example, Patent Documents 1 to 3 have been known.[0003]Further, the applicant of this application has proposed a fully automatic gravure plate-making processing system having high degrees of freedom, which is capable of manufacturing a gravure plate-making roll more quickly as compared to a conventional system, achieving space saving, performing an unattended operation even in the nighttime, flexibly customizing a manufa...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a processing unit for a fully automatic gravure plate-making processing system that includes a condenser. This unit can condense the mist-like processing solution vaporized during the process, allowing it to be reused as the processing solution. This reduces the amount of processing solution needed, reducing costs and also decreasing the amount of gas emitted, which is better for the environment. Overall, the invention improves efficiency and environmental performance.

Problems solved by technology

Further, in the case of the copper sulfate plating apparatus described in Patent Document 5 and the like, the vapor is particularly liable to be generated, and hence there is a problem in that the vapor is jammed in the middle of the passage even when an exhaust gas cleaning apparatus such as a mist scrubber is mounted.
