ANTIFRICTION means greater efficiency and productivity at the plant level.
Rotometal has developed a new method for hardening printing cylinders: ANTIFRICTION. It is a breakthrough solution that optimizes the friction properties and smoothness of the coating thanks to the use of the Polimeroxid®matrix, which is cross-linked with a special LF4 polymer over the entire thickness section.
The use of this innovative method in the production of our printing tools has resulted in exceptional surface smoothness while maintaining high hardness, around 450 HV, depending on the aluminum alloy used.
This pioneering solution has enabled us to produce tools with unprecedented performance properties, which, by combining high strength and optimal grip, distinguish us from other suppliers.
Preparing the cylinder for work has never been easier. Thanks to the ANTIFRICTION coating, the foam tape fixing the polymer sheets is easy to change and takes much less time.
Our print cylinders are made of aluminum or steel. The working surface can be anodized to protect it from scratching.
Our print cylinders are made of special aluminum material or steel. The working surface can be anodized to protect it from scratching. The plate cylinders can be made of tube to reduce the weight. All cylinders are supplied with standard gears, but for better quality of print we can also supply it with hardened and ground gear. Rotometal manufactures printing cylinders for all flexo machines.
Composite Rotometal Sleeves (CRO) are ultra-light Printing Cylinders.
Using the latest composite production techniques, Rotometal produces sleeves from the composite itself. This allows the use of other materials such as PET, Polyurethane, Polyester, or very durable Epoxy resins.
These printing cylinders are produced using aluminium as a working surface. The surface can be supplied as a standard or with an anodized finish. Easy and fast assembly and high working precision are very good arguments for using them. Less waste during the mounting of plates, better adhesion of the tape, and reduced weight are also their advantages.
