The present invention relates to a filter unit for filtering waste washout liquid (e.g. containing photopolymer debris) from a plate processor system (e.g. used for photopolymer printing plate manufacture). The unit comprises a filtration chamber for receiving waste washout liquid, and a perforated conveyor for supporting a filter material at the base of the filtration chamber and for conveying filter material to and away from the base of the filtration chamber. The filter unit further comprises an activation unit for activating the conveyor when waste washout liquid reaches a predetermined height within the filtration chamber. A storage tank for storing filtered washout liquid after it has passed through the filter material and perforated base is also provided. Methods of using the filter unit are also disclosed. |
