Spring Cleaning

Specializing in anilox cleaning systems using plastic media, Absolutely Micro*Clean International (Rancho Cordova, Calif.) has a new anilox cleaner for narrow-web printers. The NW 16A is a vertical, free-standing anilox roll cleaner that was "designed for a narrow footprint," said Micro*Clean President Bob Temple, "since most narrow-web printers don't have a lot of extra space to accommodate new machinery." The NW 16A cleans with the same effectiveness as the company's other enclosed, blasting systems. The NW 16A also uses the same non-hazardous, non-abrasive, recyclable plastic media, which comes in three blends: standard, used for all size rolls; heavy duty, an extra fast media for large rolls; and ultra fine, for rolls with high screen lines. "Most of our clients use a mix of these," said Temple.
