Zinc/Magnesium Plate Etching Equipment

CO.FO.ME.GRA. etching machine for ZINC and MAGNESIUM plates is the result of 30 years of experience in building powderless etching machines.

Ultramatic 40

Ultramatic 90

Ultramatic 200

The machine can be used to etch both zinc and magnesium plates in sizes up to 40 x 50 cm (16" x 20"). Strong construction and corrosion resistant materials assure long life of machines. Plate rotary motion eliminates the possibility of non uniform etching. A highly sensitive temperature controller reduces to a minimum temperature variations which take place during etching cycle. Automatic heating is built into the machine, which works in conjunction with either a refrigerator unit or network water cooling.
