Before & After Deep Cleaning

Protecting your Anilox rollers

Covers with color system in relation to volume (cm3/m2)

Standard & customized covers

We produce our own covers in all standard dimensions and for all rollers. If you have a service agreement with us for maintenance and renovation of anilox rollers, when ordering a cover, specially made magnetic labels are included that can follow the individual rollers or sleeves in production, as well as roller cards that come with each cover.

Chamber & Blades

Make sure the blades & sealings are correct installed

Blades Positions and how to maximize blade & end seal performance

Two different types of blades are used in a typical chamber system "AR" (Metering Blade) carries out the final scraping of the Anilox roller before the ink or varnish is transported to the roller or plate "LR" (Containment Blade) as the name indicates, it contains the Ink or the varnish inside the chamber.

These blades are wearing parts and must be changed regularly due to wear and tear. The wear depends on elements such as speed, the surface of the anilox roller as well as pigmentation in the Ink or varnish etc

Clarification of blade position which blade is Working blade or containment blade depends on the structure of each chamber and which direction the anilox roller turns. The diagram below shows the correct position of "AR" in relation to the rotation of the anilox roller in terms of "clockwise" (MEU) and "counter-clockwise" (MOU). "LR" is placed opposite "AR"

Make sure the blades & sealings are correct installed
