Zecher Cleaning Center: Evolux 3000 MAX Technology for Professional Anilox Cleaning

Zecher, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of anilox rolls for the printing industry, has inaugurated its Zecher Cleaning Center, a extended service dedicated to the professional cleaning of anilox rolls and sleeves, developed in close collaboration with Ulmex.

 

The technological centrepiece of the new centre is the Evolux 3000 MAX system (link to Evolux page), the laser machine designed to handle anilox rolls and sleeves up to 3000 mm in length with the highest precision and reliability.

A precise technical choice: the Evolux 3000 MAX is the most suitable solution for the needs of a professional service centre that must guarantee consistent results across a large anilox inventory, including large-diameter rolls typical of Wide Web, Cardboard, Coating and Tissue applications.

The features that make it the reference machine for this context:

– Deep laser cleaning of ceramic, chrome and tungsten anilox rolls and sleeves, up to 3000 mm in length

– Dry process: no chemical additives, no water consumption, no special waste to dispose of

– Complete removal of inks, varnishes, adhesives and primers — without damaging the cell structure of the anilox

– Integrated Ceramic Care System: technology developed by Ulmex to preserve the integrity of the ceramic surface during every cleaning cycle

– Integrated 3D microscope and D.A.M. software (Dynamic Anilox Management) for continuous monitoring and full traceability of every intervention

– Industry 4.0 & 5.0 ready certification: fully integratable into digital production workflows

 

 

“With the Zecher Cleaning Center, we are taking an important step towards offering our customers an even more comprehensive range of services from a single source. At the same time, through our close collaboration with Ulmex, we are strengthening our innovative capabilities and consciously investing in new technologies that offer our customers real added value.”

Thomas Reinking, Commercial Director of Zecher GmbH

Zecher Cleaning Center Evolux

 

With the Zecher Cleaning Center, printers who rely on Zecher now have access to a complete service from a single point of contact: from the production and supply of the anilox roll to its professional maintenance and long-term performance monitoring.

This means:

  • Professional cleaning directly at the manufacturer’s facility, with fast response times and certified technical standards
  • – Process consistency: the anilox is cleaned with the same technology and the same parameters every time, ensuring repeatable and documented results
  • A single point of contact for the entire lifecycle of the anilox roll: production, refurbishment and predictive maintenance

 

The Evolux laser cleaning systems have been developed through a research and development process aimed at ensuring a safe, reliable, eco-friendly cleaning process that respects the ceramic structure of the anilox rolls.

The collaboration between Zecher and Ulmex is among the most established in the European flexo industry, and the opening of the Zecher Cleaning Center demonstrates how a solid technical partnership translates into real value for the market.
