An anilox sleeve is a metal, ceramic, or plastic sleeve that is used in the printing process to transfer ink to the substrate. The anilox sleeve is mounted on a print cylinder and inked before each print stroke. As the print cylinder rotates, the anilox sleeve transfers ink to the substrate, which is then fed through the printing press.
The anilox sleeve is made of compressible material, the middle layer is glass fiber reinforced plastic or other composite materials, and the outer layer of the composite material is an aluminum base roller, and then the aluminum layer is sprayed with ceramic and engraved with anilox. The sleeve anilox roller is installed on the air expansion shaft for use, and the air flow blows the compressible material of the sleeve anilox roller through the air expansion shaft to make it expand and make it closely fit with the air expansion shaft to work. Anilox sleeve combines all the advantages of ceramic anilox rollers while using the sleeve itself for easy loading and unloading, high flexibility, long service life, convenient storage, high system precision, and suitable for quick replacement. It has been widely used in flexo printing and gravure printing, and will gradually replace the traditional anilox roll.
It is a new product in recent years, with many advantages, it will gradually replace the traditional anilox roller
The anilox sleeve is made of compressible material, the middle layer is FRP or other composite materials, the outer layer of the composite material is an aluminum alloy roller, and then the aluminum alloy layer is sprayed with ceramic and engraved on the anilox roller. The sleeve anilox roll is installed on the air expansion shaft, and the air flow blows the compressible material of the sleeve anilox roller through the air expansion shaft to make it expand and work closely with the air expansion shaft.
