When it comes to anilox rolls, Linde focuses on more than just the performance and durability of the coating. They take extensive measures to ensure that each roll is mechanically sound and precisely engraved.
Each anilox roll is manufactured to meet OEM requirements for the press, along with any unique specifications. Each roll is then coated with an exclusive ceramic layer made from 99%-pure chrome oxide, optimized for porosity, bond strength, and density. This ceramic coating, one of the hardest in the industry, has an average hardness of 1300 Vickers and can be ground and polished to maximize surface integrity and extend roll life.
Finally, the rolls are laser engraved to achieve the proper cell volume and structure, essential for accurate color reproduction and consistent ink release. The microscopic pattern engravings are customized to your print application, ranging from as few as eight lines per inch to high-resolution patterns of up to 1300 lines per inch.
