KOWORASE X Erase device for CR Imaging Plates (IP)

The KOWORASE X is a highly efficient tool for external erasing of CR imaging plates (IP).
Due to the 2-phase cleaning process even highly stressed imaging plates can be recovered to performance levels requested in ASTM E2445 for both tests – Erasure and Burn-In (≤ 2% PV or nonvisible).
Even so-called Ghost Images or Burn-Ins can be erased satisfactory – Ghost Images or Burn-Ins are artefacts which are nonvisible after erasure but become visible on image of following exposure.
In phase 1 the imaging plate is exposed to complete saturation (ca. 65,000 grey values) with UV-light while in phase 2 imaging plate is erased with LED-light to ca. 90 grey values.
Total time for an erase process is between 3 and 6 minutes dependent on condition (number of exposures), intensity of burn-in and age of imaging plate.

Use of KOWORASE X:
Opening drawer, inserting imaging plates on drawer, closing drawer, starting cleaning process, removing imaging plates when process is finished, Imaging plates are ready for new excellent X-ray exposures.
