Specification of Anilox Rollers
Taking into account the process and the type of work, the specifications commonly in use for anilox rollers are:
The screen count is quoted in lines per linear inch (lpi), and is a measure of the number of cells across the anilox.
Typical figures are 25lpi to 200lpi, etc. the screen count is fixed in relation to the film weight of the coating, e.g. milligrams per square inch or grams per square meter.
The angle of engraving indicates how the cells were engraved and therefore how they line up across the anilox. for example, in laser engraving, the angles may be 30°, 45° or 60°:
The depth of the cells is measured in microns.(1 µm = 0.001mm)
The volume of the cell is measured in bcm (CBM/in2).
