Good Anilox Roll Care Can Improve the Bottom Line

We definitely recommend you consider specialty carts for anilox sleeves. Mobile sleeve carts provide a safe storage area and a transition/access point for the sleeves being removed or installed at press. This is a feature that cannot be understated. The other option, a concrete floor, is dangerous for the sleeve for two reasons. Sleeves are difficult to place on a bare concrete floor without damaging and floors do not provide any lateral stability, making sleeves easy to tip over. It is not recommended to never stand an anilox or anilox sleeve on the floor, but to transfer directly to and from the cart or storage rack. If you have no other choice, at least consider using sturdy rubber mats to guard the anilox from the hard concrete surface.
