Reel and Roll Handling
BEST PRACTICES FOR TOP PERFORMANCE To truly excel in anilox handling, go beyond the basics. Here is how to achieve “best-in-class” care:
4. Overcleaning
Yes, overcleaning is a thing. Cleaning too frequently or using overly aggressive methods, can wear down the ceramic coating over time. Find a cleaning schedule that matches your production cycle without overdoing it.
5. Handling Rolls with Bare Hands It might seem harmless, but oils from your skin can transfer to the roll surface, attracting dirt and grime. Always wear gloves when handling rolls to keep them clean and protected.
1. Invest in Automated Cleaning Systems Automated systems, like ultrasonic or laser cleaners, ensure deep, uniform cleaning while reducing the risk of accidental damage. They are a worthwhile investment if your operation relies on consistent, high-quality output. In cases where it is not possible to remove the roller easily, speak with Pamarco on a cleaning schedule that fi ts with your maintenance intervals to avoid down time.
2. Stay Ahead with Preventive Maintenance Do not wait for problems to arise. Set up a preventive maintenance plan that includes regular cleaning, inspections and refurbishments. Keep a log of each roll’s
condition and usage to track wear over time. 3. Partner with Experts
Work closely with your anilox supplier or a trusted service provider. Many off er on-site audits, training and refurbishment services. These partnerships can help you get the most out of your equipment.
4. Standardise Your Procedures Establish clear processes for handling, cleaning and storing rolls, and make sure your entire team follows them. Consistency reduces the chances of mistakes and ensures that everyone is on the same page. 5. Use Quality Accessories
From cleaning solutions to protective sleeves, invest in tools and materials designed specifi cally for anilox rolls. Cheap alternatives might save money upfront, but can end up costing you in the long run.
