CARE® Pads

This unique cleaning product has been specifically developed for use in conjunction with the Pamarco CARE® range of washes to meet the tough demands of the printing industry. It’s designed to penetrate deep into each microscopic anilox roller cell and provide maximum cleaning performance on even the most stubborn ink residues. Made of two different fiber types, Care Pads provide a useful dual-purpose cleaning capability.

Anilox Cleaning Scrubbers

EZ-Clean Scrubber

The EZ-Clean is designed to use the Pamarco CARE® Pad that offers more contact surface area and finer bristles to get into your cells resulting in a better scrub for your anilox roll. The EZ-Clean is air powered. Its orbital action and pad provide the mechanical agitation necessary for your cleaner to work without hand scrubbing. Consider the results from an actual case: In just a couple of minutes with DeepClean Ultra and EZ-Clean, an increase from 42% to 90% in Effective Cell Volume was achieved.

Pads for EZ-Clean Scrubbers are available for purchase in ten and twenty packs.

Our family of scrubbers is designed as an on-press cleaning aid clean up. Each PRS is compatible with your liquid cleaner of choice. This scrubber also removes the dried ink or coating from your anilox or gravure rolls. We have two dimension sizes that come with stainless steel brushes for ceramic rolls or brass brushes for chrome or gravure rolls.

Anilox Cleaning Plates


Cleaning Plate

The Anilox Roll Cleaning Plate is a patented technology used to clean and maintain anilox roll volume on a preventative maintenance schedule or when needed. It is as easy to install as a printing plate and should be used as part of a complete anilox cleaning program.

DAILY CLEANING

Run cleaning solution through the print station after using the station to print

WEEKLY CLEANING

Run cleaning solution in conjunction with the cleaning plate for one hour As Needed – Deep clean your anilox rolls with a baking soda cleaner

The Anilox Roll Cleaning Plate is made of millions of 50 micron-fiber bristles that not only clean the surface, but get deep into to cells. The plate is very durable and maintenance free. It eliminates the need for manual scrubbing, the use of harsh chemicals and the safety risk of being exposed to sharp dr. blades. More than one print station can be cleaned at once. It is an inexpensive process and hands free. This cleaning plate is custom made for any printing press to fit any roll size. Simply mount the cleaning plate on the print cylinder and run with a cleaning solution. Once installed in a print deck, you are free to use the remaining downs to produce product with any vacuum transfer equipment. Cleaning while printing using pull rolls and pull strap is not possible

As a preventive maintenance method, the anilox roll cleaning plate will maintain rolls at or near top volume. For deep cleaning of heavily plugged cells, the anilox roll cleaning plate will restore volume. Request a consultation to discuss the best corrugated supplies for the job.

All The Micro-Fiber Anilox Roll Care Plates up to 79’’ width for all cylinder circumferences can be made as 1 piece (unless customer prefers two piece). Anything wider than 79” has to be a two section plate, and wider than 158” a three piece plate for all cylinder circumferences.
