Most anilox roll problems don't start on press. They start at the cleaning station.
Manual cleaning leaves residue in the cells. Brushes and chemicals that aren't matched to the ink system create buildup that compounds over time. Rolls that look clean to the eye are metering inconsistently because the cells aren't actually clear.
The result shows up as density drop, color drift, and print inconsistency that gets blamed on ink or impression before anyone looks at the rolls.
Ultrasonic cleaning works differently. Sound waves create microscopic cavitation bubbles that reach into engraved cells and remove dried ink, varnish, and residue without abrasion and without damaging the chrome surface. Rolls come out actually clean -- not surface clean. And they stay that way longer because the buildup cycle gets broken.
The Supercell Ultrasonic Cleaning System is designed and manufactured in the US specifically for flexographic operations. Stainless steel construction, built-in heater and timer, removable rotator, and adjustable support -- everything you need to run a proper cleaning program without a complex setup.
