ANCILLARY PRODUCTS
ANI-CHECK INSPECTION
Ani-Check is a fast, simple and accurate tool for measuring anilox volumes. Based on the reading of an electrical magnetic field, Ani-Check allows print operators to quantify the condition of the anilox in their inventory.
OVERVIEW: Assessing the condition of your anilox cells is vital to achieving the best possible print results and minimises down time. Volume checking after cleaning is best practice and enables Print Managers to manage their anilox inventory.
Ink manufacturers also use the readings to formulate inks and coatings so clean anilox cells and accurate volume readings lead to accurate colour matching and production efficiency.
ADDED VALUE: Sandon Global provide full training and an annual equipment calibration.
KEY FEATURES: Minimum Press downtime / Fast Results
No calculations required / Digital Reading
ANI-SCOPE INSPECTION
Used in conjunction with the Ani-Check, the Ani-Scope is
designed as a simple way to check the condition of anilox engravings.
OVERVIEW: The microscope is available with a variety of magnifications. Enabling print managers to quickly ascertain levels of cleanliness, wear and potential damage on the anilox engraving. The Ani-Scope can be linked to a smart phone and capture images efficiently. Anilox refurbishments and cleaning schedules can be planned. Saving valuable press time and maintaining quality standards.
ADDED VALUE: Sandon Global provide full training and an annual equipment calibration.

ANILOX CLEANING SOLUTION
Cleaning Formula 1 & 2
The ultimate cleaning chemical, for an instant clean. This will remove all types of ink and should be used for stubborn ink residue which cannot be removed with other chemicals. This chemical provides an intensive clean and should be used periodically to remove the most persistent dried inks alongside mechanical cleaning systems or softer cleaning fluids.
Cleaning Formula 4
Strong, less aggressive cleaning fluids, for all ink types. A good daily cleaning solution or for intensive cleaning between mechanical cleans.
Xpel Cleaning
For solvent based and UV inks. This is a very effective and quick working chemical for the removal of printing residues. Xpel gives a high percentage clean to the anilox cells and decreases the time usually required for an effective mechanical clean.
ANILOX SLEEVE STORAGE
Our range of versatile anilox sleeve storage solutions can be floor mounted, mobile or bench top modular systems. Built to your specification our storage solutions enable you to store all your print sleeves vertically.
Scalable solutions will fit most print rooms offering protection and easy access to your entire inventory of sleeves.
