Good Anilox Roll Care Can Improve the Bottom Line

Transportation devices should be dedicated to aniloxes and not used for other press material. Sometimes we see anilox carts that also have flexible dies, plate cylinders, and other equipment sharing a very tight space on a cart and the aniloxes stored with these items are not well-shielded from contact. Keep in mind that storage should maintain protection, not expose the anilox surface to greater risk. If a cart or carts cannot be dedicated to aniloxes, then consider isolating aniloxes as much as possible from the other parts by using roll covers and fixed shielding.
