Deep cleaning – the coating remains intact

Precise Laser Cleaning for Rollers and Cylinders

Rollers and cylinders are indispensable components in printing, paper mills, packaging facilities, and industrial production. Constant contact with inks, varnishes, adhesives, and dust causes stubborn deposits that compromise their function and reduce quality.
With precise laser cleaning from Laser Cleantec, residues are targeted and removed dry and chemical-free – without abrasives, without dismantling, and without damaging the surface.
The result: consistent quality, reduced downtime, and an extended lifespan for your rollers and cylinders. Ink, resin, oil, or dust residues are removed without abrasion, while the surface is preserved. Your coating is protected, and your production continues without interruption: safely, quickly, and sustainably.

Why laser cleaning is the best choice

Traditional cleaning methods such as abrasive blasting, chemical use, or brushing generate dust, noise, and material wear. Laser cleaning, on the other hand, operates contact-free, selectively, and efficiently.
The process is not only technically superior but also eco-friendly:
Laser cleaning reduces CO₂ emissions by up to 80%, generates no wastewater, and requires significantly fewer resources.

Application areas for roller laser cleaning

Our mobile laser cleaning is ideal for the maintenance and cleaning of:
Anilox rollers in printing facilities
Laser cleaning removes ink residues down to < 5 µm – the structure remains intact.
Rollers in paper and pulp mills
Paper dust, fillers, and resins are removed without leaving residues – the surface remains stable.
Transport rollers and cylinders in packaging plants
Adhesive and resin residues are selectively dissolved without altering material properties.
Technical rollers in mechanical engineering
Laser cleaning guarantees constant precision and clean process surfaces – dry and contactless.
Cylinders in industrial production
Deposits and traces of corrosion are gently removed, preserving functionality and precision.
