Flexo Wash first developed its anilox cleaner over 25 years ago, and since then more than 3,000 converters and printers have chosen to use Flexo Wash Anilox Cleaners to improve their printing process. 

That innovation continues at Labelexpo Americas 2018 with the release of the Flexo Wash Laser Anilox Cleaners. Converters and printers will be able to view the FW 2000 Laser Anilox Cleaner and discuss their printing process cleaning needs with Flexo Wash representatives during Labelexpo.  

Ryan Potter, Vice President of Sales for Flexo Wash, says “Our customers and prospects are excited to finally have an open and truly comparative conversation about the pros and cons of each technology.  Flexo Wash provides the FLEXOBILITY for converters and printers to choose which system works best for them.

"At Flexo Wash, we know that Clean is Clean, no matter how you get there. Now the printing industry will have two Flexo Wash Cleaning Technologies: the agile Liquid Cleaner and the emerging Laser Cleaner. Like the Liquid Cleaner, the Laser Cleaner gives a perfect cleaning result. As all those in the printing industry know, aniloxes are the heart of the Flexo process — and when properly cleaned, result in higher output on your press with less downtime, material and labor costs," Potter says.
 
“The FW 2000 and FW 3000 Laser Anilox Cleaners have the latest in laser technology. The FW 2000 Laser shown at Labelexpo Americas will clean an Anilox Roll or Sleeve with a maximum cleaning length of 67” (1,700 mm)," states Anders Kongstad, Technical Director for Flexo Wash in Denmark. “The FW 2000 Laser can also be configured to clean multiple Narrow Web Anilox Rolls or Sleeves in a single cycle.”
