Cyrel® FAST enables faster press setup times, higher production speeds and high-quality printing to deliver better press OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) and decreased startup waste.

“The Cyrel® FAST technology allows us to produce flexo plates extremely reliably and on demand since 2007. ” said Lene Høgh Madsen, Prepress Manager at Schur Star.

Our skilled maintenance technicians provide on-site support to resolve operational issues efficiently, while FAST processors offer remote access for quick troubleshooting to keep your equipment running smoothly.

Cyrel® FAST thermal system eliminates plate cleaning and drying, reducing production time by up to a staggering 75%!

The dry, solvent-free FAST process eliminates the need for washout fluids - VOC emissions are reduced by 99.8% and global warming potential is reduced by 48% compared to a solvent-based workflow.

Cyrel® FAST units can perform under pressure and live up to their name, producing more thermal plates per shift at scale in comparison to solvent platemaking systems.

For a quarter of a century, DuPont™ Cyrel® FAST technology has enabled businesses to supercharge productivity and make their packaging designs a reality faster, cleaner and more reliably

"It is key to maintain the perfect balance between functionality and integrity, print quality and sustainability in order to protect what’s most important: the packaged good,” said Ari-Pekka Pietilä, CS&MO Amerplast. 

More than 1,500 installations worldwide (and counting)!

We have recently expanded the range with Cyrel® Lightning LFH, a plate optimized for flexible packaging, compatible with the latest LED exposure and screening technology.

We can enable higher quality prints on lower quality substrates with our Cyrel® EASY FAST EFM plates, optimized for printing on fiber substrates.

Plates per hour throughput is a key measure of success - the thermal processor is named FAST because of how quickly it can provide the first plate.

“The FAST 2000 TD Processor enables us to supply replacements to the press within 40 minutes, thus avoiding downtime and multiple makereadies,” said Tobias Gneiting, prepress manager at schäfer-etiketten.

 The Cyrel® FAST System makes it possible for businesses to meet the challenge of delivering smaller print runs and faster turnarounds while minimizing the environmental footprint.

Continual development of the Cyrel® FAST processors’ performance has led to a complete line-up of the latest technology systems in all sizes and plate formats: 1000 TD, 2000 TD, 3000 TD. 

Ongoing innovation and dedication ensure each subsequent generation of Cyrel® FAST processors continues to improve to meet the stringent demands of both today’s and tomorrow’s tradeshops and converters.

With Cyrel® FAST, platemakers have access to a complete system and family of flexo plates for practically all flexo printing and packaging applications.

The reliability of DuPont Cyrel® FAST thermal processors is well-known and proven through a large install base, exhaustive field experience, and detailed customer feedback.

"Flexibility is key for us and our customers. With Cyrel® FAST we converted five label customers” said Jesper Haagen, co-owner of Reproflex Scandinavia A/S, from Denmark.

DuPont invented the first photopolymer flexographic plate in 1974 to provide a higher quality, more productive, and less expensive alternative to existing flexographic printing methods.

Cyrel® FAST technology reliably delivers quality plates faster AND cleaner. With its catalytic oxidizer, the thermal processor releases virtually no VOC through the exhaust during plate production. 

Data shows that Cyrel® FAST reduces the electricity consumption for platemaking by >80% compared to a solvent workflow.

By removing the solvent still and dryer unit, the Cyrel® FAST system reduces emissions, cuts energy demands, and optimizes space—minimizing environmental and physical impact.

Cyrel® FAST is designed to be easy to operate, reducing the learning curve for operators and minimizing setup errors.

Cyrel® FAST minimizes your operation’s environmental footprint—something sustainability-focused customers increasingly demand to achieve their objectives.
