Sleeve Adapters
Bridge sleeves are commonly used on flexo presses to reduce sleeve weight, wall thickness and cost. Modern press productivity is sometimes offset by the nature of designs, causing vibration/bounce and visible streaks. The Carbon BS Pneumatic Bridge technology offers exceptional dynamic response with exceptional reduction of bounce/visible streaks when it comes to printing demanding designs, as well as very low weight
Coaxcyl BS: Composite bridge sleeves, with either standard air holes ventilation, or separate ventilation,
Carbon BS: High performance Carbon Fiber bridge providing exceptional stiffness & damping properties for improved productivity
Features and benefits:
- Higher printing productivity thanks to structure damping properties and exceptional rigidity
- Reduced weight, especially on high wall thickness
- Smooth installation on press and quicker make ready thanks to design & ball valves
- Durable construction
Anilox Protection Cases
Axcylox
Anilox is an essential part of the flexo printing process. Its ceramic outer layer is extremely hard, but fragile. Axcylox designed to cover and protect the Anilox during all operations, apart from printing.
- The end result is a permanent protection of the fragile outer surface of the Anilox, incresing its life span and reducing costly repairs due to damages.
Features and benefits:
- Rough outer surface, for excellent manual handling
- Machined hole, to ease removal of anilox + Axcylox on press
- Smooth inner surface, for easy cleaning
- Rubber edge, to immobilize the Axcylox on the anilox, and protect the anilox face
- Permanent label for tracability & identification ( with indication of anilox color, volüme & screen ruling)
