OptiClean Anilox Cleaning Cabinet

Advanced Offline Cleaning for High-Performance Anilox Rolls

Precision Cleaning. Maximum Efficiency. Proven Results.

The OptiClean Anilox Cleaning Cabinet is a high-performance, fully automatic offline cleaning solution designed for high line anilox rolls and sleeves. Engineered for demanding printing environments, OptiClean delivers fast, consistent, and deep cleaning results—restoring cell volume and ensuring optimal ink transfer.

Especially suited for high-quality plants across all industries, OptiClean handles all types of inks and contamination levels with ease.

Innovative Cleaning Technology

At the core of the OptiClean system is a unique cleaning principle:

Instead of traditional dripping methods, the anilox roll rotates on two rubber rollers inside the cleaning tank, while the cleaning agent is actively sprayed between the roll surface and the rollers.

As a result:

• The entire anilox surface receives full and homogeneous coverage
• The rubber rollers continuously renew the cleaning agent inside the cells
• Gentle pressure helps release dried ink faster and more effectively

This technology ensures deep cell cleaning, even for very high screen counts (up to 1500 LPI), without risking damage to the anilox structure.

Fully Automatic 3-Step Cleaning Process

OptiClean simplifies operation through a fully automated cycle:

1. Washing with cleaning agent
2. Rinsing with high-pressure water
3. Drying with compressed air

With just one push of a button, the complete process runs automatically. Once finished, the system provides a clear signal indicating readiness for the next roll.

Typical cleaning cycle: ~20 minutes

Additionally, cleaning parameters can be customized depending on the condition and type of anilox.

Maximum Flexibility & Ease of Use

The OptiClean system is designed for operator convenience and flexibility:

• No need for axles or bearing adjustments
• Suitable for all roll and sleeve sizes
• Easy loading—simply place the anilox on the rubber rollers
• Pneumatic sleeve sealing system for easy single-operator handling

Whether working with multiple press types or varying anilox formats, OptiClean adapts effortlessly.

Engineered for Reliability and Low Maintenance

To ensure long-term performance:

• All moving parts are separated from the cleaning tank, reducing wear and maintenance
• The electrical cabinet is fully isolated for safety and durability
• High-quality components are used throughout, including:
  • High-pressure water pumps
  • Air membrane chemical pumps

Optional features include remote support via modem integration.

Efficient and Sustainable Operation

OptiClean supports both:

• Direct drain connection systems, or
• Independent tank systems to reduce wastewater

In addition, the system uses heated cleaning agents to further enhance cleaning performance and efficiency.

Optimized Performance with FlexoClean Cleaning Agents
