The High Hardness Anilox Sleeve delivers the metering performance of a ceramic anilox roll in a lightweight, quick change sleeve format. Its laser engraved ceramic surface reaches 1300 HV hardness, providing outstanding resistance to wear from doctor blades, abrasive inks, and frequent cleaning. The sleeve is manufactured on a composite base that keeps the component light and easy to handle, while the hard ceramic working surface ensures that cell geometry and ink carrying capacity remain stable over long production intervals.

With line screens from 30 to 2000 LPI, the High Hardness Anilox Sleeve covers a broad range of applications, from heavy coating layers to fine flexographic process printing. The uniform cell structure is engraved with precision, giving printers predictable ink film thickness and consistent color density job after job. Because the sleeve slides onto a reusable mandrel, operators can store multiple sleeves with different cell specifications and change them quickly when the job requires a different ink volume, dramatically improving pressroom flexibility.

• 1300 HV Surface Hardness: The laser engraved ceramic layer resists wear and maintains cell profile over extended use.
• Quick Change Design: The sleeve format allows fast exchange of cell specifications on a single mandrel.
• Wide Line Screen Range: Available from 30 to 2000 LPI to suit coating, laminating, and flexo printing jobs.
• Uniform Cell Structure: Precision engraving ensures consistent ink volume and stable print density.
• Lightweight Composite Body: Easy handling reduces operator fatigue and speeds up installation.
• Broad Compatibility: Works with flexographic printers, coating machines, and laminating machines.

The High Hardness Anilox Sleeve is used in flexographic printing presses for process color work, in coating machines for precise adhesive and varnish application, and in laminating lines for uniform adhesive film deposition. Printers operating multiple jobs with different ink volume requirements benefit from stocking a set of sleeves and exchanging them on a shared mandrel, which reduces capital cost compared with purchasing complete rollers. The 1300 HV ceramic surface also makes the sleeve suitable for abrasive ink systems and high speed running, where softer surfaces would wear quickly and cause color drift.

Every High Hardness Anilox Sleeve is tested for surface hardness, cell uniformity, dimensional accuracy, and wall thickness before packing. The sleeve is protected with anti-corrosion wrapping and shipped in an export standard wooden box for safe worldwide delivery. Our ISO9001 certified production facility provides full inspection reports with each shipment.
