APPLICATION

• Flexographic, lithography, gravure printing, UV coating.
• Labels, envelopes, paper forms, handbags, corrugated boxes.
• Coated & wood-patterned paper products, glazing, wallpapers.
• Optical-, PE-, release-, and lithium battery diaphragm film, aluminum foil.

MANUFACTURING PROCESS

Each anilox roller goes through eight highly precise manufacturing processes to meet all relevant roller standards and deliver the highest quality anilox rollers for the perfect quality print.

1. Base roller processing – all bases are made from quality hollow seamless tubes.
2. Sandblasting treatment – ensures a good key on the surface for the first alloy.
3. Nickel-chromium alloy coating – high bond surface with good metal affinity.
4. Chromium oxide ceramic layer – working layer for anilox rollers is prepared using a plasma spraying system to reach an optimal hardness of approximately 1300-1450 HV.
5. Carborundum grinding – silicon carbide stone is used to grind the ceramic surface.
6. Carborundum polishing – micro-polishing with silicon carbide prepares the ceramic surface for engraving.
7. Laser engraving – directly applied to the ceramic layer to allow for precise size and etch depth of each cell.
8. Polishing and cleaning – to ensure removal of any “rough” edges and cell wall abnormalities.

We use the most advanced ALE optical laser engraving machines to ensure cell depth, smoothness, and consistency for even ink application and delivery across the entire roller face.
