XSYS launches EcoFillX in support of extended sustainability commitment

New EcoFillX software feature for ThermoFlexX imagers targets non-image areas of flexographic printing plates to actively reduce the amount of polymer material washed out during processing. Reducing the amount of solid washed out, this innovation lowers solvent consumption by up to 30%, combining a real ecological advantage with considerable cost saving.

Willstaett, Germany. 22 April 2024 – XSYS has announced the introduction of EcoFillX, an innovative software feature developed for ThermoFlexX imagers, which promises to significantly reduce washout solvent usage. Targeting the non-image areas of photopolymer printing plates, EcoFillX represents another important step towards improving the sustainability of the flexographic platemaking process.

“Sustainability is a central responsibility for any manufacturer today; a responsibility XSYS places at the forefront of innovation by developing more eco-conscious ways to support our customers in their ‘ Environmental friendly’ endeavors,” said Dirk De Rauw, Senior optical designer. “EcoFillX joins a host of other environmental initiatives from XSYS that together can have a big impact of the carbon footprint of the plate processing operation.”
