How to clean anilox rollers
22 May de 2024
Cleaning anilox rollers is crucial to maintaining print quality and extending the life of these components. Anilox rollers are used in flexographic printing to transfer ink in a precise and uniform manner. Over time, they can accumulate dried ink, residue, and other contaminants that affect their performance. There are several methods for cleaning this type of roller, most of them manual, which require a lot of time and usually end up deteriorating the surface of the roller since mechanical methods are used.
Ultrasonic roller cleaning
A very good alternative to traditional methods is ultrasonic roller cleaning, which, among others, has the following advantages:
- It does not require disassembling the bearings since they are not submerged in the tank.
- It is very effective for deep cleaning, especially in very small cells.
- It does not damage the surface of the roller since it is in continuous rotation to prevent the ultrasound from continuously impacting the same point on the surface.
- The presence of an operator is not necessary while cleaning is carried out since it is automatic.
- Cleaning is done in just a few minutes.

5 advantages of cleaning anilox rollers with our ultrasonic cleaning machines
- Deep and uniform cleaning: The DCM Ultrasonic UCM 500RL uses high-frequency ultrasound technology to completely remove ink, residue and contaminants embedded in the cells of the anilox rollers without damaging their surface.
- Maintaining transfer capacity: By effectively removing accumulated dirt, the original cell volumes of the anilox roll are restored, ensuring high-quality printing and reducing the need for reruns in the process.
- Safe and abrasion-free process: Unlike other aggressive mechanical or chemical cleaning methods, the UCM 500RL cleans anilox rolls non-invasively, preventing premature wear and extending their lifespan.
- Efficiency and speed: The machine's automated system allows for complete cleaning in reduced times, optimizing workflow and avoiding long periods of production downtime.
- Reducing operating costs: By improving the performance of anilox rolls and minimizing the need for frequent replacements, the UCM 500RL contributes to reducing maintenance costs and optimizes the use of inks and consumables.
