Azura CX COU
The impressive capacity of the Azura CX clean-out units take the ThermoFuse technology to a whole new level, high above your competition.

The clean-out units Azura CX 85, CX 125 and CX 150 are showpieces of Agfa’s expertise. Their cascading clean-out technology enables you to handle more plates, with lower waste costs. The pH-neutral water-based gum circulates between two shallow trays, which raises the clean-out efficiency and reduces gum consumption. It also lengthens the bath life up to 7,000 m2.
Choose your model: connected online with the plate setter, or stand-alone. There’s no need for a developer or replenisher and everything is pre-set. So once the Azura CX clean-out unit is installed, you’re good to go: the unit is designed to handle up to 50,000 m2 of plates a year!
