Dutch company Laserclean is introducing at Labelexpo a brand-new laser cleaning machine designed for cleaning of narrow web Anilox rolls.

Label printing houses can purchase this machine to keep their rollers in optimal condition. The system is affordable, the company says, and over time one will notice that laser cleaning is the most economical method for cleaning of anilox rollers because no consumables such as granulates, chemicals, or water are needed. Additionally, Laserclean says, the highest printing quality can be achieved because laser cleaning restores both the surface tension of the roller and maximizes cell volumes, which in turn lowers ink usage.

The narrow web laser cleaning machine is a compact system, easy to use, maintenance free, environmental friendly, and most importantly, cleans rollers excellently. Chain wheels and bearings do not need removal and after cleaning the roller can be used immediately. The cleaning cycle is so speedy that one can choose to use laser cleaning only, hereby saving on chemical cleaning substances.
