According to German-based manufacturer of anilox rollers, Zecher GmbH, regular deep-cleaning of operational anilox rollers is of crucial importance when it comes to high-quality printing. However, it added, conventional procedures remove only part of accumulated residues. The copmany’s new LaserEcoclean laser cleaning system further expands the portfolio of cleaning services offered by Zecher. Unlike conventional deep-cleaning methods, LaserEcoClean’s innovative laser cleaning gently eliminates all ink and varnish residues. “Microscopic imaging reveals that the inner recesses of the cells on cleaned rollers are barely distinguishable from those of a brand-new roller,” said Jörg Rohde, Head of Applications Technology at Zecher GmbH. “After the cleaning process, the pick-up volume of the anilox roller can once again be used to its full extent, and printers benefit from the same uniform inking performance as before.”
Zecher GmbH is an international manufacturer of chrome and ceramic anilox rollers with over 65 years’ experience. Zecher produces more than 12,000 engraved anilox rollers annually at its main plant in the German town of Paderborn.
