Ceramic Anilox Roller Maintenance Precaution
When cleaning the anilox roller, it is important to stop the ink supply first, then immediately flush or spray clean water to remove the ink residue from the surface of the roller. This prevents ink from accumulating or drying inside the cells. If dry ink buildup occurs, it should be immediately cleaned with a deep cleaning agent and a specialized wire brush with 100 meshes, avoiding the use of hard-bristled brushes or wire balls to prevent scratching the roller surface.
After cleaning, the anilox roller should be separated from the rubber roller. Similarly, if using a doctor blade system, the doctor blade should also be separated. This prevents residual water stains from drying unevenly on the surface of the anilox roller, leading to uneven printing.
Maintenance of wrapping film: After cleaning the ceramic anilox roller, if it will not be used for a long time, it should be wrapped with wrapping film to prevent dust, solvent corrosion, etc.
For anilox rollers severely blocked by ink, if they cannot be cleaned with a deep cleaning agent, ultrasonic cleaning should be considered promptly. Note that the longer the ink dries, the harder it is to clean, and it may even lead to the anilox roller being scrapped.

Check the usage of the anilox roller. During maintenance, it is necessary to inspect the usage of the ceramic anilox roller, observing whether there is wear or any other abnormal conditions, in order to address them promptly.
