Anilox rolls and sleeves for flexographic printing\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

At Aufer Solutions<\/span>, we supply anilox rolls and sleeves for flexography and gravure printing, essential components that ensure the correct transfer of ink between the inking system and the substrate. Anilox cylinders are engraved with ceramic microcells using lasers that precisely control the volume of ink applied, while sleeves (anilox sleeves) offer the advantage of being lightweight, interchangeable, and easy to handle, reducing production downtime.<\/p>

Thanks to our experience and collaboration with leading manufacturers, we offer our customers tailor-made solutions for every application, from high-definition jobs to large-volume print runs.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Technical characteristics of anilox rolls\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
  • Cell volume (BCM\/cm\u00b2): determines the amount of ink transferred and is selected based on the type of ink and coverage required.

    <\/span><\/li>
  • Lineature: number of cells per cm or inch, which influences the definition of the design and the uniformity of the inking.

    <\/span><\/li>
  • Cell geometry: hexagonal (60\u00b0), open channel, or other variants adapted to the application.

    <\/span><\/li>
  • Laser-engraved ceramic coating: greater durability, wear resistance, and easier cleaning.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

      Proper maintenance is essential to prevent \u201ccell clogging,\u201d which reduces ink transfer. At Aufer Solutions<\/span>, we recommend using specific cleaning fluids for anilox rolls that remove residue without damaging the ceramic surface, thus ensuring sharp prints and extending the useful life of the cylinder or sleeve.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

      It depends on the type of ink, the desired coverage, and the detail of the design. A high lineature is used for fine, detailed printing, while low lineatures allow for greater ink deposit. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
