The ELS Servo’s ergonomic, user-friendly inking system represents a significant advancement in press design. This is a two-roller inking system where both the anilox and doctor rolls are designed for tool-less exchange. The entire inking system is housed in a draw that pulls out for easy changeovers, including independent anilox drive. Designed with Delrin gearing, there is no metal-to-metal gearing. making it practically maintenance-free.
New anilox roll quick-release drive hub eliminates the need for expensive gear clusters and creates a smoother drive. The doctor blade assembly has both running and setup positions for a clean exchange of rollers. The anilox rotates off-line so the operator can set up the unused stations while the press is running.
The doctor roller rests in a deeper ink pan and runs at half the speed of the anilox. The doctor roll carries ink to the anilox roll, eliminating the possibility of cavitation, allowing press speeds up to 750 fpm with no ink disturbance. You have the option to run a two-roll system without using a doctor blade for increased coat weights. The system allows for ink of any viscosity to be transferred efficiently. The ink pan has a running and a set up position to facilitate clean ups and changeovers.
