Automatic Anilox Roller Cleaning Machine Ultrasonic Anilox Cleaning Machine Energy Saving

    The automatic cleaning equipment for rubber rollers and anilox rollers is a dedicated automated cleaning device designed for the printing industry, mainly used for deep cleaning of rubber rollers, anilox rollers, ink transfer rollers, ink distributing rollers and other roller bodies on offset printing, flexo printing, gravure printing and coating equipment. Through a combination of processes such as high-pressure spraying, ultrasonic cleaning, brush rolling, chemical solution circulation and hot air drying, the equipment quickly removes ink, paper lint, paper powder, dried ink residue, UV residual glue and dirt attached to the roller surface. It runs fully automatically without manual scraping, does not damage the elastic layer of rubber rollers and the ceramic cells of anilox rollers, maintains roller precision and ink transfer performance, extends service life and improves printing quality.

     Suitable for enterprises engaged in packaging printing, label printing, flexible packaging printing, carton printing, etc., it can greatly reduce the intensity of manual cleaning and improve the efficiency of order change and equipment maintenance.

• Pay attention to warranty, on-site installation and debugging, and supply capacity of wearing parts.

6.Budget and Site Conditions
• Small printing enterprises: choose small single-station cleaning machines.
• Large and medium-sized printing factories: choose fully automatic integrated models with drying function.

How to use:

1. Pre-Startup Preparation
• Check the equipment power supply, water source and cleaning agent liquid level.
• Place the rubber roller/anilox roller to be cleaned on the bracket.
•  Close the safety door and ensure it is locked.

2. Parameter Setting
• Select the cleaning mode: rubber roller mode / anilox roller mode.
• Set the cleaning time, heating temperature and number of rinsing cycles.
• Start the chemical solution circulation system.

3.Automatic Cleaning Process
•  One-click start, the equipment automatically completes: spray wetting → brushing/ultrasonic cleaning → circulation filtration → clear water rinsing → hot air drying.
• Do not open the safety door during operation to avoid liquid splashing.

4. Post-Cleaning Procedures
• The equipment automatically stops and gives a prompt.
• Open the door, take out the roller and check the cleanliness.
• Place the roller to air dry or put it directly into use on the machine.

5. Daily Maintenance
• Clean impurities and ink residue in the filter box every day.
• Replace the cleaning solution regularly and check whether the nozzles are clogged.
• Keep the machine body dry and clean, and lubricate the transmission parts regularly.
•  Drain the liquid in the pipeline when not in use for a long time.

6. Safety Precautions
•  Do not put hands into the running equipment.
• Avoid contact of cleaning agent with skin and eyes.
• Power off the equipment before maintenance.
• Non-professionals are not allowed to disassemble the electrical parts.

Yes. Most models support mode switching, with gentle brushing for rubber rollers and ultrasonic or high-pressure spraying for anilox rollers, without mutual interference.
Q2. Will the cleaning machine damage rubber rollers and anilox rollers?
No under normal use. The equipment uses special cleaning agents and gentle processes, which do not corrode the rubber layer or damage the cells, and are safer than manual cleaning.
Q3. Can UV ink and dried ink lumps be removed?
Yes. Equipped with heating + ultrasonic + special cleaning agent, it can effectively dissolve cured ink and stubborn ink dirt, restoring the smoothness of anilox cells.
Q4. How long does one cleaning cycle take?
Generally 5–15 minutes, adjustable according to the degree of dirt, several times faster than manual cleaning.
Q5. Is the consumption of cleaning agent high?
No. The equipment is equipped with a circulation filtration system, and one tank of cleaning solution can be used multiple times with low consumption.

Q6. Can it be used without tap water?
Some models support self-priming water supply and can be used with a water tank, with low requirements for installation conditions.

Q7. Does the equipment require special operators?

No. It is fully automatic with one click, and workers can take up the post after simple training, with very simple operation.
Q8. Can the ink transfer effect of anilox rollers be restored after cleaning?
Yes. After cleaning, the anilox cells are unobstructed, the uniformity of ink transfer is significantly improved, and printing color difference and clogging problems are greatly reduced.
Q9. Is the equipment noisy?
No. The normal working noise is low, suitable for use in printing workshop environments.
Q10. Can it clean rubber rollers with water-based ink?
Absolutely yes. The equipment is applicable to water-based ink, solvent-based ink and UV ink, with stable cleaning effect.
