How to clean anilox rollers
22 May de 2024
- Cleaning anilox rollers is crucial to maintaining print quality and extending the life of these components. Anilox rollers are used in flexographic printing to transfer ink in a precise and uniform manner. Over time, they can accumulate dried ink, residue, and other contaminants that affect their performance. There are several methods for cleaning this type of roller, most of them manual, which require a lot of time and usually end up deteriorating the surface of the roller since mechanical methods are used.
A very good alternative to traditional methods is ultrasonic roller cleaning, which, among others, has the following advantages:
- It does not require disassembling the bearings since they are not submerged in the tank.
- It is very effective for deep cleaning, especially in very small cells.
- It does not damage the surface of the roller since it is in continuous rotation to prevent the ultrasound from continuously impacting the same point on the surface.
- The presence of an operator is not necessary while cleaning is carried out since it is automatic.
- Cleaning is done in just a few minutes.
