Paper Converting Machine Company (PCMC), part of Barry-Wehmiller, showcased its Meridian laser anilox cleaner at Labelexpo Americas 2018. Attendees were able to view live demonstrations of the Meridian, which cleans anilox cells without damaging them by using a powerful laser to vaporize deposited particles inside of the cells.

The Meridian was been named a finalist for the Award for Innovation, one of the key categories of the Label Industry Global Awards 2018.

With its patent-pending laser technology, the Meridian deeply cleans chrome and ceramic rolls of any line screen without causing surface wear, achieving like-new surface conditions at unprecedented speeds, many times increasing efficiency by 300% or more. Backed by PCMC’s customer service and support, the Meridian provides printers and converters with an advanced one-pass cleaning solution.

“We’ve been very excited to welcome people into our booth to experience the innovative Meridian first-hand,” says Rodney Pennings, Printing, Coating and Laminating sales director. “I think they’ll be impressed by its technology, speed and effectiveness.”
