Scanbag, a Danish label converter, has installed a Flexo Wash FW2000 laser anilox cleaner at its production plant in Skive, Denmark.
The FW2000 model was introduced in 2018 as the first laser cleaning unit in the Flexo Wash cleaning range. The new laser technology is suitable for 100% cleaning without damage to the rolls, with the guarantee of consistent print quality and reduced downtime, the company notes.
"We are very satisfied with the cleaning results and the easy handling of the aniloxes," says Søren Bligaard of Scanbag. "We tested another system, but it damaged the rolls. With the Flexo Wash system we have no issues at all."
"For us, it was important to develop a laser anilox cleaner with as much safety as possible," adds Anders Kongstad, technical director at Flexo Wash. "The ceramic on the anilox rolls is very delicate and can easily be damaged when cleaning with a laser, so safety is extremely important."
The new Flexo Wash laser cleaner is easy to load, with the anilox rolls placed into a drawer and then slid into the machine. The FW2000 subsequently monitors all aspects of the anilox, including cell depth, rotation, and laser performance. Its inventory management system provides full traceability of each roll so that performance levels can be closely monitored.
