Good Anilox Roll Care Can Improve the Bottom Line

These secondary systems may also require bearing and gear removal or protection devices to prevent damage to those components, adding preparation time. Look to minimize the time it takes to protect the bearings by using rubber gloves that are secured over the bearings/journals and consider more robust guards like shielding or caps that can seal them off from the cleaning liquid or media. The guards are simple to install and take a few seconds of time and the problem is resolved without spending time to prepare the aniloxes. You will often find the suppliers of those systems also supply guards that are custom-fitted to the bearing/gear design of your particular aniloxes.
