Frequently Asked Questions

Anilox roller laser cleaning is a non-contact cleaning process that uses controlled laser energy to remove contamination from the cells and surface of an anilox roller.

A calibrated laser passes across the roller surface, targeting unwanted deposits within the anilox cell structure without physical, abrasive contact.

Anilox cells can accumulate dried ink and other contamination over time, even when the roller surface appears clean. This can affect ink transfer and print consistency if not addressed.

Laser cleaning is designed to target dried ink and residue within anilox cells. The outcome depends on the roller condition, contamination type and how long it has been present - we can assess your rollers and advise accordingly.

Yes. Our mobile service is built around performing anilox roller laser cleaning directly at your facility, so rollers do not need to be removed and transported off site.

We provide mobile anilox roller laser cleaning to printing and packaging companies across South Africa, including the Western Cape, Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, Eastern Cape and Mpumalanga. We operate from depots in Cape Town and Durban, and travel directly to your facility to carry out cleaning on site.

Cleaning frequency depends on ink type, run volumes, anilox specification and housekeeping practices. We can assess your rollers and provide guidance based on their condition and your production schedule.

Yes, anilox roller laser cleaning is specifically relevant to flexographic printing, where anilox rollers are used to meter ink to the printing plate.

Cleaning time depends on the roller's condition, contamination level, dimensions and other technical factors. We can assess the roller and provide guidance based on its condition once we understand your requirements.

Yes. Our process includes a post-cleaning inspection, and microscopic inspection can be included where appropriate, along with a service report documenting the work carried out.
