Flexo Wash to unveil laser anilox cleaning technology at Labelexpo Americas 2018

Converters and printers will be able to view the FW 2000 laser anilox cleaner and discuss their printing process cleaning needs with Flexo Wash representatives during Labelexpo.

Ryan Potter, vice president of sales for Flexo Wash, says that ‘Our customers and prospects are excited to finally have an open and truly comparative conversation about the pros and cons of each technology. Flexo Wash provides the flexibility for converters and printers to choose which system works best for them.’

Flexo Wash will present two Flexo Wash cleaning technologies: the liquid cleaner and the new laser cleaner. As all those in the printing industry know, aniloxes are the heart of the flexo process — and when properly cleaned, result in higher output on presses with less downtime, material and labor costs.

‘The FW 2000 and FW 3000 laser anilox cleaners have the latest in laser technology. The FW 2000 Laser shown at Labelexpo Americas will clean an anilox roll or sleeve with a maximum cleaning length of 67 inches (1,700 mm),’ said Anders Kongstad, technical director for Flexo Wash in Denmark. ‘The FW 2000 Laser can also be configured to clean multiple narrow web anilox rolls or sleeves in a single cycle.’
