Making Anilox Roll and Gravure Cylinder Cleaning Safe, Easy and Effective
 
The use of ultrasonics for cleaning anilox rolls and gravure cylinders has been available since 1982. It's fair to say that it has had a checkered history. The primary reason for this is because not enough was known around that time about the effect of, and more importantly, the application of ultrasound for this purpose. Anilox rolls of that time also did not have the integrity they have today. In essence, the growth in knowledge as to what we can and can't do with ultrasonics to a roll and the huge leap in roll quality have made the two technologies far more compatible today than ever before.

What sets Alphasound apart in the printing and converting industries?
What sets Alphasound apart from all other roll cleaning methods is the control around the core technology, resulting in ease of use and providing outstanding results, the first time and every time. As such, Alphasound represents a quantum leap in roll cleaning and should not be compared to other "ordinary" ultrasonic tanks sold for this purpose. 

Even when compared with powder and polymer bead-blasting methods, we can confidently make the following claims:

1) Alphasound cannot cause damage to cells.  This is because frequency and power levels are targeted and controlled to suit the screen counts being cleaned.  Alphasound is more safe and kind to the roll over it's lifespan, and that's a fact.
2) Alphasound provides a superior depth of cleanliness across a far wider range of screen counts than competing products.
3) Alphasound equipment does not require a skill level and so is not reliant on the operator.
4) Like-for-like, Alphasound equipment is less expensive to buy than competing equipment.
5) Like-for-like, Alphasound equipment is more cost effective to run.
6) Like-for-like, Alphasound equipment takes up far less floor space than competing units.
7) Alphasound has the scope to keep pace with developments in roll production.

.....and the list goes on.

Alphasound systems for the cleaning of anilox rolls and gravure cylinders are available in five models covering any budget, roll size, weight, configuration or stable of equipment.
