BLUEBIRD ANILOX ROLLER SPEED CLEANER
has been specially formulated to dissolve water based ink, dirt and
grease. Apply the concentrated Anilox roll speed cleaner with three or
four full stokes of the trigger bottle, directly spray onto the surface
of your ceramic or chrome roller, leave for five minutes and wipe
clean. Rinse off with cold water before inking. Clean each day for best
results.
STAINLESS STELL BRUSHES are
manufactured specifically for the cleaning of Anilox rollers. The grip
shaped handle and robust fine bristled head ensures the best surface
cleaning action for all engraved cell specifications.
BEL’S MICROSCOPE enables the
printer to inspect the Anilox roller after cleaning to determine
whether all contamination has been removed. Magnification can be set to
60x, 80x or 100x.
It is customary to put additives into
flexographic links to speed up drying and improved pigmentation or to
achieve extra shine. Laser engraved ceramic Anilox rollers can become
clogged by residue accumulation, specialist cleaning products are
especially suited to deal with the
problems of contamination caused by these procedures.
A&B SUPPLIES AND SERVICES
successful development of new chemical science and correct cleaning
procedures for the Anilox Rollers or Sleeves that will guarantee
keeping machine down time at a minimum and saving on production costs
while achieving the highest print quality.
This can be done by simply lifting the
top of your (ink) container, including pump and viscosity-sensor. Put
the top on an empty container or bucket and fill with A&B
BLUEBIRD daily cleaning product (delusion ratio 1:10 and water). After
the pump has been started, the liquid circulates in the ink system.
Because of this the complete unit, including the ink-try, Anilox
roller, pipes, pump and viscosity-sensor are cleaned in approximately 5
to 15 minutes. The daily cleaning will strongly reduce the clogging
effect on your Anilox roller.
Elements in the ink, that can hardly
be removed from the Anilox Laser Engraved Cells, mainly has to do with
the
fact that ink, lacquers etc. need to be dry in an instant after they
are transferred onto the substrate. The need to achieve improvements in
terms of covering and colour strength, therefore, ink manufacturers are
forced to use more additives in their ink which are very difficult to
remove from the Anilox Roller. As a result circulation cleaning is
essential.
A&B SUPPLIES AND SERVICES has
developed special products for this kind of cleaning. Circulation
cleaning in many cases can be done in the printing machine, with the
help of a container, in which the fluid and the Anilox roller are
slightly heated as the roller turns in the print station. Cleaning deep
into the Anilox cell formation restoring the near original volume
caring
capacity of the Anilox roller.
This procedure is performed outside
the
printing press A&B Supplies and Services is able to complete
this
deep cleaning for you at our factory in Manchester. However, you can
also consider investing in a tank yourself. We are able to deliver one
to you, tailor made. The Anilox cylinders are put into a tank, filled
with a
slightly heated fluid and the roller slowly turns around. After some
time, depending on the degree of ink pollution, the Anilox Roller or
Sleeve, is thoroughly rinsed off with cold water.
After this treatment the Anilox or
Sleeve cylinder is restored to near original volume and ready again for
a long period of use without any problems, as long as the daily
cleaning is properly applied.
A&B Supplies and Services have
available specially developed products for the cleaning of water based,
solvent, UV and many other types of inks and liquids, including plate
cleaner.
Microscope at a magnification 125 x to
check the Engraving Cells condition after cleaning. TV Monitor
enables
you to see the engraved Anilox cell specification for analysis. Line
measurements for precise measuring of the cell specification and line
thickness. Video printer to print out periodically hard copy for
filling throughout the life of the Anilox roller or Sleeve.
BEL’S VOLUME STANDARD is a
quality control system which determines whether the Anilox Roller is in
good condition, worn or contaminated. This VOLUME STANDARD apparatus
measures a very accurate area and provides a volume carrying capacity.
