Anilox Rolls
Another application in the pulp/paper industry is the application of plasma-sprayed, chrome oxide coatings on anilox rolls. This is a critical application whereby a dense and homogeneous coating is required.
The Anilox rolls are sprayed with a nickel based bond coat followed with a Cr Oxide top coat ensuring a dense, homogenous product. A low porosity (<1%) coating is required for a superior wear-resistant coating and provides a smaller contact surface for the ink.
The anilox coated rolls are finally diamond ground and laser engraved to produce a surface profile which will deliver a controlled amount of ink to the paper being printed with long-term wear resistance.
