Rotogravure
The most suitable system for long runs in flexible packaging. It is concept of direct transfer from the cylinder to the substrate allows a high print quality at very high production speeds.
Rotogravure cylinder maintenance
We supply products for the daily and periodic cleaning of the rotogravure cylinder.
Water and solvent based cleaners for the dilution and removal of fresh ink used in the printing process. For manual cleaning or cleaning by means of the printer’s circuits.
We offer concentrated water-soluble formulations to adjust the mix for in-plant use, minimising transport and stock costs.
For deep cleaning of the cylinder, we have energetic products capable of removing ink residues accumulated in the cells of the cylinder. Compatible with solvent or water-based inks, adhesives and coatings based on polyurethane and other resins.
