Our laser systems are finely tuned with specific parameters for power, focus, and wavelength, carefully calibrated to target contaminants while protecting the ceramic and cell structure. Even after hundreds of cleaning cycles, the integrity of the roll remains intact.
For optimal results, we recommend a regular cleaning schedule, typically weekly, to maintain ideal ink transfer and keep contamination levels below 5%. Consistent cleaning also reduces setup time and ensures a stable print quality.
Yes, our Anilox laser technology is adaptable to a wide range of Anilox roll types, including high line-count sleeves. The laser’s precision enables thorough cleaning without risk, even on the most delicate structures. Additionally, our AL models are designed for off-line applications, providing flexible cleaning solutions that seamlessly fit into various production setups.
With regular laser cleaning, Anilox rolls can undergo hundreds—and potentially even thousands—of cleanings without any loss of quality or structural integrity. The rolls can last as long as normal wear and tear allows, as our Anilox laser technology preserves the roll surface, reducing the need for replacements and ensuring consistent, reliable performance over time.
Yes, laser cleaning can safely be applied to rolls previously cleaned with other methods. Our system will thoroughly remove any remaining contaminants without impacting the roll’s structure.
A typical laser cleaning cycle can range from 10 to 60 minutes, depending on the selected program and the level of contamination on the Anilox roll or sleeve. For lighter cleaning needs, shorter cycles are generally sufficient, while more thorough cleanings for heavily soiled surfaces may require a longer cycle. Our systems are designed to provide flexibility and efficiency, allowing you to choose the optimal program for your specific requirements.
Anilox laser cleaning uses precise, non-contact laser technology to remove contaminants without chemicals or abrasives, preserving the Anilox roll’s surface and ensuring consistent, thorough cleaning. This approach results in longer-lasting rolls, reduced maintenance costs, and improved print quality. Additionally, laser cleaning is much safer for operators and significantly less harmful to the environment, as it eliminates the need for harsh chemicals and reduces waste.
Absolutely. By keeping Anilox rolls consistently clean, ink transfer remains stable and optimized, which reduces ink waste and enhances printing efficiency. Additionally, the First Time Right (FTR) principle minimizes paper throughput during setup, leading to significant savings on materials and reducing waste.
Laser cleaning eliminates the need for chemical solvents and drastically reduces water consumption, making it a highly eco-friendly solution. By using precise, non-contact laser technology to remove contaminants, this method not only minimizes waste and extends the lifespan of Anilox rolls but also significantly enhances operator safety. Without exposure to harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning agents, the risk of skin irritation, respiratory issues, and other health hazards is greatly reduced. Additionally, the process produces no harmful emissions, ensuring a cleaner, safer workspace and contributing to a healthier environment overall.
The “First Time Right” principle means achieving perfect print results on the first pass, without additional adjustments. By maintaining clean Anilox rolls, you reduce setup time, save materials, and ensure consistently high-quality prints, ultimately lowering costs and increasing efficiency.
The initial investment and maintenance requirements will depend on the type of Anilox laser cleaning system you choose. However, regardless of the model, the long-term returns far outweigh these initial costs. Our systems are designed to deliver exceptional cleaning performance that extends the life and quality of Anilox rolls and sleeves, reducing replacement needs and minimizing downtime. The cost savings, efficiency, and consistent high-quality results achieved with our technology quickly offset the initial expense, making it a smart investment for any operation focused on maximizing productivity and sustainability.
We understand that businesses have unique needs, so we offer both purchase and rental options for our Anilox laser cleaning systems. Purchasing is ideal for companies seeking a long-term investment with complete control over their equipment. This option often delivers the highest return on investment over time, especially for those with consistent cleaning needs.
For businesses looking for flexibility, our rental option provides access to the latest technology without a large initial expense. Renting allows you to try out the system before committing to a purchase, and it includes maintenance support, ensuring predictable costs. This is a practical solution for companies with short-term projects or those wanting to explore the benefits of Anilox laser cleaning before fully investing.
Whether you decide to buy or rent, both options grant access to our high-quality cleaning systems and support, allowing you to choose the solution that best fits your operational and financial goals.
