LASER CLEANING ANYLOX rollers

The cleaning of anilox rolls has always been one of the biggest concerns of flexography printers. If they are not perfectly clean, the cylinders reduce their transfer capacity and therefore color intensity is lost in the printing, with the consequences for the production that this may have: invalid impressions, longer start-up times, etc. I-LAC solves this problem effectively thanks to the laser that removes in depth the dry ink inside the cells without damaging the cells of the roll. A specially designed optical laser vaporizes any residue and cleans the remains of dry ink, adhesives, waxes, silicones, etc.

The laser technology allows a cleaning without any mechanical or thermal action on the anilox cylinder, which allows us to clean even after each use and preserve the useful life of the anilox rollers for much longer.

The new laser anilox cleaning system uses a fibre laser technology to emit a beam through a series of diodes mounted on an optical fibre. The cells of the anilox are completely clean, getting near of the nominal contribution, being able to clean any type of color, base of the ink or adhesive.

We provide laser cleaning of anilox rollers using the Inelme systems. Inlemе is manufacturer of the best I-LAC systems designed for laser cleaning of anilox rollers. We provide both stationary and mobile services. We can reach every printing house and perform cleaning services on site.

More about the service

The laser cleaning of anilox rolls is:

Effectively cleans any residues of inks, varnishes and glues;
Extremely quick cleaning;
100 % recovering of cell debth
It does not damage the anilox rolls, but on the contrary – extends their lifespan;
The cleaning method is suitable for cylinder rolls with any types of line screens;
Laser cleaning is an environmentally friendly technology with no waste products;
No chemicals are used;
The method has no adverse effect to the environment.

The I-LAC Anilox Rolls Laser Cleaning System provides complete cleaning for every line screen, regardless of the roll size, where it cleans the anilox roll to the bottom of the cell without damaging the cylinder.

For machines with large and difficult-to-remove anilox rolls, the machine can perform on-line cleaning without having to remove the anilox roller.
A volume measurement test is performed before and after cleaning. The test is performed by applying the URMI™ Liquid Volume Measurement System which closely simulates the actual ink metering process.
