We chose Alphasonics Anilox Cleaning Systems. We did the due diligence and we took a look at some data & facts out there, spoke to our peers, and, in addition to Reliability and Technical Excellence, one of the things that really differentiated Alphasonics from everybody else was the dedication of customer service. Semliki Royal Group of Companies is a customer-oriented operation, so we would expect that from our vendors as well, and consequently we’ve developed a significant partnership with Alphasonics. We utilize the heavy duty Melanie Extra Anilox Cleaner DUO Series, with Active Cavitation, designed to clean and rinse both narrow and wide anilox rolls up to 60Kg maximum weight. We’ve found out that this is a very, very definitive unit, fits very well with our operations, and we’ve not faced any issues and no downtime. Alphasonics service technicians have been A1, any concern or any need that we have, all we’ve had to do is pick up the phone and they will respond to those needs as quickly as possible. We expect that our equipment work as impeccably well as our team members within the facility and Alphasonics fits that bill 100%.”

“Since the installation of the Alphasonics system, the cleaning of the Blanket Wash units has been greatly enhanced. As we have 32 units, the system is used on a daily basis and saves on the old manual scrubbing and cleaning of the units."

“Managers and directors are encouraged to spend huge sums of money on expensive equipment with new levels of automation to improve competitiveness and profitability. Often overlooked can be the less interesting, yet equally important parts of the process. Maintaining anilox cell volume as part of standardising print will ensure that your printing system is predictable, right first-time day in day out. This can have a substantial impact on quality, waste reduction and efficiency. With modern anilox rolls yielding over 2 million cells per square inch, maintaining volume whilst at the same time caring for the roll has never been more important. I purchased my first Alphasonics system in 1994 and have never been disappointed. My latest system installed earlier this year has improved further with new levels of control for the finest of anilox rolls.”
