Good Anilox Roll Care Can Improve the Bottom Line

You should also consider procedures for secondary cleaning systems, press installation and removal, gear and bearing installation and removal, inspection, troubleshooting, and so on.

Inefficiency is an unwanted byproduct that occurs when one or more of anilox protection, care, and maintenance duties fall short of reasonable expectations. Those who measure their productivity and waste can capture the signs of inefficiency and begin to do something about it. You will see the savings in time and money by following the recommendations for anilox protection, care, and maintenance because a damaged or dirty anilox in inventory only wastes an operator's time. In addition, if the anilox is unique, you may have to compromise at press by selecting a roll with a different line and volume. Compromise from a designated setup always adds waste as adjustments are made.
