    Abstract: Device for treating printing plates produced by using photochemical processes, in which the printing plates are fed to different treating stations, e.g. a washing station for the non-polymerised parts of the exposed printing plate, a cleaning station for the washed printing relief of the plate and, if necessary, a drying station, and in which the transport of the printing plates to the individual treating stations is effected by a driven pair of chains in which the chain links have driver spigots (pins), and a strip which is suspended between the two chains in the driver spigots has, for its part, devices for mounting the printing plate which is to be transported.

    Abstract: By means of solvents coming from feeding members (5) and of accompanying brushes (6), the unexposed parts of a printing plate (1) are dissolved from the photo-polymerisable layer (A). In addition, the layer is subjected to another washing procedure (B) by means of a nozzle arrangement (10) in order still to dissolve fine parts of the layer not caught during the first washing. The washed printing plates are then cleaned (C) by means of jet sprays of solvent (16, 17) and subsequently dried with the aid of a hot-air blower (20) (D).
