Cleaning

Cleaning the anilox rolls poses a challenge for every printing company. All cleaning methods present a more or less heavy strain on the engraving and surface of the anilox roll. The service life of the anilox roll can be significantly influenced.

Our recommendations

• Clean regularly and as quickly as possible after each print job
• The less the color is dried up, the easier it can be dissolved and removed
• Ensure that no runs and drops remain on the surface after cleaning. Once these dry, it becomes even more difficult to remove them
• Dry cleaning is one of the gentlest procedures, but it also requires caution. Some products reach pH values above 13. Long exposure times with very aggressive products are therefore a high risk.

Your handling:

• Avoid blows or impacts on the ceramic surface
• Protect the surface of the rolls and sleeves during installation and removal
• Cover the surface when storing the rolls
• Keep the ceramic free from grease and oil
