CERAMIC ANILOX ROLLERS
Novaline™ and Proline® laser engraved ceramic anilox rollers are high quality and designed for flexible package printing, demanding coatings, specialty materials and varnish applications.
MANUFACTURE OF ANILOX ROLLERS
The anilox roll manufacturing process includes base preparation, shot blasting to roughen the roll surface, application of a uniform high integrity coating to extend roll life, grinding and lapping to obtain a smooth surface, laser engraving to obtain the proper cell volume, top finishing to further smooth the surface, and evaluation and certification of the engraving specifications in our metallurgical laboratory.

CERAMIC COATING OF ANILOX ROLLERS
The performance of a laser etched ceramic anilox roll begins with the coating. The use of a proprietary thermal spray powder and plasma torch to create a dense, hard, low-porosity chromium oxide ceramic coating and proven sealing technology makes our rolls more corrosion resistant than many others on the market today.
FLUOROPOLYMER COATING
Our fluoropolymer coatings fight corrosion, offer excellent non-stick properties and are easy to clean, making them ideal coatings for ink tanks, reservoirs, scrapers and chambers.
LASER ENGRAVING
Our meticulous standards for cell volume, number of screens and cell shape provide exceptional ink release that sets our anilox rolls apart from the competition. Our engravings are designed to address the challenges faced in printing today, such as ink splash, ink transfer and release, high definition packaging, high densities with minimal dot penalty gain, and uniform solids coverage with improved gloss and fewer perforations.
ROLL IDENTIFICATION SYSTEMS
A custom identification band can be applied to an unprinted area of the roll, allowing pressroom personnel to identify each roll quickly and easily. You can print engraving specifications, press name and number, roll number or any other information you need so you don’t have to refer to the original documentation to determine roll characteristics.
