While classic steel bases of cylinders have long been traditionally used in the rotogravure industry, a lighter, faster alternative has dominated the market. ICR is proud to have patented a complete range of aluminum cylinders in various configurations to meet market’s demands.
70% Weight Reduction: Compared to steel, aluminum offers a remarkable 70% weight reduction. This translates to significant advantages:
Reduced Logistics Costs: Lighter cylinders mean lower transportation costs, making them ideal for both domestic and international projects.
Faster Setup Times: Easier handling during setup translates to reduced press downtime and increased production efficiency.
Enhanced Printing Performance Superior Balance: The lighter weight of aluminum allows for exceptional dynamic balance. This minimizes vibrations, allowing high-speed printing, sharper image reproduction and smoother operation.
Reduced Machine Wear: Decreased pressure on the printing press alleviates the strain on bearings and other vital machine components, thereby reducing maintenance expenditures and extending the operational lifespan of the press.
